witli the outer margin. It is followed by a broad, vague yellowish 

 sliadiug, mergiug gradually iuto the grouud. Subtermiual line unusu- 

 ally close to outer margin, irregular, consisting of silver gray scales 

 placed in groups. A series of black interspaceal terminal spots, edged 

 with grayscales and fringes cut with gray. Claviforra indicated by 

 smoky scales, very small. Orbicular small, broadly oblong, upright, 

 edged by whitish or gray scales. Keniform moderate, outlined by a 

 narrow gray line, with a figure-8 shape, a little paler centrally, almost 

 whitish below. Space between the ordinary spots more blackish and a 

 similar shade obtains beyond the reniform. Secondaries smoky, darker 

 outwardly, glistening, the fringes whitish. Beneath, primaries smoky, 

 reddish powdery along costa, whitish along internal margin, terminal 

 space gray. An extra-median smoky line. Secondaries gray, reddish 

 powdery along the costal region. An extra median brown line, which 

 does not reach the inner margin. Terminal space narrowly gray, mar- 

 gined by a brown band, which almost fills the space to the extra median 

 line on the costa, but narrows toward and barely reaches the internal 

 angle. 



Expanse, 41 mm.=l.G4 inches. 



Habitat. — Colorado (Barnes). 



A single, good male. This is a large form and quite different m 

 appearance from our other species. It has somewhat tbe shading of 

 fabrefacta, but is very diiferently marked.

Ground color a somewhat glistening, soft fawn brown with scattered 

 black powderiugs, some of the scales tipped with white. Head and 

 thorax without obvious markings. Primaries without contrasts, all 

 lines obscured. Transverse anterior line marked by obscure blackish 

 shadings, which indicate that it is upright, outwardly angulated in the 

 interspaces. Transverse posterior line marked by a series of small, 

 obscure, blackish venular dots, outcurved over the cell. Subterminal 

 line composed of a series of irregular, interspaceal, blackish marks. A 

 series of rather obvious white dots terminates the veins, and a very 

 obscure series of dusky spots marks the interspaces. Orbicular irreg- 

 ular, oval, concolorous, obscurely and incompletely outlhied by blackish 

 scales. Eeniform large, broad, incompletely outlined by black scales,
