Primaries gray, powdered with greenish gray and black scales, and shaded with 
blackish, and with bright brown in s.t. space; lines rather broad, distinct; reniform 
rounded, brown or black, indistinct; subreniform pale, small; sinus of t.p. line broadly 
marked, acute, not deep; teeth of M strong. Secondaries dark yellow; median band 
narrow, much constricted, reaching internal margin. Expands 7o—75 mm. Habitat, 
Eastern, Middle, and Western States. Food plant, Walnut. 
‘The larva I have taken with those of zeogama, but it was not enough 
different to arrest my attention. Avmz/a differs in having the posterior 
half of the primaries darker. 
Var. phalanga, Grt. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila. 3, 86, pl. 3, f. 1, Trans. Am. Ent. 
Soc. 4, 11. Primaries with basal space black, a black band beyond t p. line, the rest 
light gray.

Primaries light gray, marked within t.a. line, at reniform, and beyond t.p. line, 
with light brown; all lines evident, but not always distinct; M of t.p. line produced, 
sinus large; basal and subapical dashes generally present. Secondaries yellow, median 
band constricted and angulated. Expands 75—90 mm. Habitat, East of Rocky 
Mounts and Ariz. Communis has the hind wings a little darker yellow than the 
type form. 
Var, snowiana, Grt. Pap. 1, 163, l.c. 2, 8. Described from an aberrant and 
somewhat aborted specimen from Kansas, with primaries much more heavily marked 
with black. It is with great hesitancy I write this a variety. 
The specimens from Ariz. have the marginal border of the hind 
wings broken. 
Larva; Guen. Noct. 3, 96. Color brownish gray, formed by many longitudinal 
strize on light ground; piliferous points separate as is usual. Feeds on Walnnt. 
63. subnata, Grt. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. 3, 326, ‘Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 4, 9, 
Streck. Rho. Het. 34, pl. 5, f. 3. 
An insect very much tike neogama, but generally larger, with lines and markings 
more diffuse. and the teeth of the M of t.p. line very strongly produced. Expands 95 
to 105mm. I have seen a specimen, which would not measure more than 70 mm. 
Habitat, Eastern and Middle U.S. Food plant, Walnut, (Auct. Angus). 
I am in much doubt as whether this is a distinct species,. Mr. Grote
