204 THIRTIETH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. [92] 



u Of C. fidicularia I have but a single specimen, and I 

 should not dare to give an opinion as to its distinctness, were 

 it riot, fortunately, for a decided difference presented in the an- 

 tennae. In (7. cuMcularis the antennae are short and evenly 

 clothed with cilia which are only one-half so long as in C. 

 fidicularia, ; in the latter species their length is about equal 

 to the diameter of the antennal stem. Furthermore, my 

 example lacks the rust-brown bordering of the subterminal 

 line, which is so conspicuous a feature in cuMcularis. The 

 apex of the wing in fidieularia shows a lighter shade between 

 the subterminal line and the margin, while in cuMcularis this 

 portion is equally dark with the rest of the subterminal region. 

 With these exceptions, I find no difference, except in the very 

 different colors of the two. The white spots of the reniform, 

 are also more or less distinctly seen in cuMcularis. Whether 

 the differences above stated are reliable, could only be deter- 

 mined by an examination of a number of examples. But the 

 decided difference in the antennae cannot be questioned, and 

 this feature will sufficiently establish the specific distinction 

 of the two forms. Their comparative size is of little import- 

 ance, as CARADRINA varies very much in that respect."
