36 -BULLETIN BROOKLYN ENTOM. SOC. VOL. VII. July 1884. ] 
Primaries pale smooth and close dull glaucous gray; allthe lines often obsolete, 
save at costa; sinus of t.p. line very deep, the line closely approaching the t.a. line at 
inner margin; t.p. line outwardly, and behind sinus strongly marked with ferruginous, 
as are the costal dots; secondaries deep yellow, median band angulated, recurrent to 
base; border broken or not. Expands 45—55 mm. fast and South. 
The description of folygama, Guen,, seems to fit this species; the 
figure, which is poor, seems more like var. A/abame; neither description 
nor figure approach the insect identified as po/ygama by Grote. 
Var. Alabama, Grt. Proc. Acad. Sci. Phil. 1875, 427. 
Primaries wanting the ferruginous shadings. After examination of 
type, and other specimens, I have no doubt of the correctness of this 
reference. |

Primaries chestnut brown, varied with whitish gray and blackish; median lines 
distinct, nearing below; M of t.p. line strong, the inferior tooth smaller, sinus very 
small; a black dash from costa, covering reniform, and reaching to below apex; s.t. 
line whitish, undulate, nearly perpendicular; secondaries ochrey yellow, median band 
narrow, angulated, returning to base along margin; border broken. Expands 40 
to 55 mm. 
An extraordinarily variable species. A/sarah is slightly lighter than 
type form.
