ochreous. Fore wings very pale ochreous, with orange- 

 brown scales arranged in lines along the interspaces, more 

 or less diffused on the costal half; a median line of orange- 

 brown scales arising from the middle of the costa, extending 

 out to the end of the cell, where it curves and runs in a 

 nearly straight line to the basal third of the hind margin ; 

 a subterminal line, arising from the outer third of the costa, 

 forms a semicircle to a point two-thirds across the wing, 

 then runs nearly straight to the hind margin. Terminal line 

 composed of a marginal row of brown dots. Fringes golden. 

 Hind wings pale gray, darker outwardly ; fringes lustrous 

 white. 



Habitat. Ontario, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, 

 Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois. Food, grass and sheep sorrel. 



"Egg. Creamy white when first laid, gradually turn- 

 ing to an orange-buff color before hatching. Form, ellip-

 twenty longitudinal ridges and numerous smaller transverse 

 ridges. 



"Larva, First Stage. Head diameter, .225 mm. ; body 

 diameter, .175 mm. ; length, 1.2 mm. Head nearly black; 

 thoracic shield a dark reddish brown ; body whitish trans- 

 lucent, with many pale rufous spots on the dorsum of the 

 fifth to the twelfth segments, inclusive. Scattered dark- 

 colored hairs occur on the head and body. Late in the fall 

 the head and thoracic shield are almost black, the pale rufous 

 spots have developed into dark-brown tubercles, and the 

 body has become deep brown." (Felt.)

Expanse of wings, 18 mm. Head, palpi and thorax dark 

 fuscous. Fore wings dark brownish fuscous, crossed by 

 two dark, reddish-brown angulated lines, which seem to be 

 formed of short parallel dashes located so SLS to form strong 

 outward angles above the middle of the wing, then curving 

 in for a short distance and running parallel to the outer 

 margin. These lines are connected with each other by a
