d.  Concolorous, silky drab, veins tending to be paler marked. 
Primaries with diffuse darker terminal shading, and a discal narrow 
outwardly extended streak. An exceedingly fine and faint outer transverse 
line, rounded opposite the discal cell. A subterminal oblique punctiform 
line from apices to internal margin within the angle. Costal margin dark 
shaded. The discal dots are perceivable against the longitudinal discal 
streak. Hind wings a little paler with a very faint transverse shade line. 
An interrupted fine dotted line before the silky fringes on both wings. 
Beneath darker; the hind wings much clouded with dark brownish, with 
a distinct discal spot and a continued transverse guttiform or cuneiform 
subterminal line, analagous to the subterminal line of the forewings 
above; faint traces of an inner transverse line. Forewings without 
markings except an incomplete reproduction of the subterminal shaded 
apices. Body parts concolorous; abdomen like hind, thorax like fore 
wings. 
?. The labial palpi are held asinthe ©, but the third article is 
more pointed, Slighter than the ¢, with simple antennæ and with 
almost wholly blackish brown primaries; the gf exhibits two transverse: 
lines, while both female specimens have entirely glossy brown forewings 
without apparent marks except the inconspicuous discal points. Hind 
wings pale drab with faint darker terminal shading. Beneath the second- 
aries have the double lines more equally defined. Thorax and head dark, 
concolorous with primaries.

d ; Texas, one f, two 2’s. The types are in the collection of the 
Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, The Texan male has the primaries 
darker, mere streaked with brownish. This and the slightly smaller size 
caused me at first to suspect a distinct species in the Texan specimens. 
The darker greasy tinting of the primaries will probably prove variable in 
disposition.
