Description of a New Aplodes. 



By Edw. L. Graef. 



Among other specimens of lepidoptera collected by Mr. H. K. 

 Morrison in Colorado was one which proved new, and a description 

 of which I append : 



Aplodes junctolinearia, sp, nor. 



Male : Size and shape very much as A. mimosaria, but with wings 

 somewhat sharper. Wings pea-green, slightly striated with white, 

 more decided on secondaries ; thorax pea-green ; head and abdomen 

 white. Front, second joint of palpi, and first pair of legs roseate. 



Two slight white transverse lines on primaries, the inner curved 

 toward the base at costa ; the outer almost straight and parallel to 

 margin. The two white lines on secondaries are curved, the inner 

 outwardly and the outer inwardly, and connect at about one-third 

 expanse of wing from inner margin, so as practically to form but one 

 line in the shape of a horse-shoe, the heels of which rest on the ante- 

 rior margin. 



Beneath paler, the lines faintly reproduced. 



This is the only species I have met with in which the lines of 

 secondaries do not extend from margin to margin, and can by this 

 peculiarity be easily distinguished from any of its congeners. 



Habitat, Colorado. Three males in collections of Henry Edwards, 

 F. Topper, and V. 1 . Graef.
