Fore wings slightly emarginate, long and rather narrow, 

 ashy fuscous, mingled outwardly with clay yellow. Median 

 white stripe narrow, remote from the costa, and ending near 

 the middle of the wing in a bidentate apex. Whitish scales 

 in spots and lines between the fuscous spot at the end of the 

 stripe and the subterminal line, which is silvery and extends 

 from the outer fourth of the costa to a point beyond the end 

 of the white stripe, where it forms an obtuse angle and con- 

 tinues in a straight line to the hind margin, within the anal 

 angle. Terminal space white, overlaid more or less, next to 

 the subterminal line, with the ground color of the wing ; a 

 dark-brown costal triangle just within the apex. Terminal 

 line dark brown above, followed by fine dark-brown dots. 

 Fringes dark silvery gray. Hind wings fuscous cinereous. 

 Habitat. Labrador, Ontario, Oregon. Early stages and
