 complex markings; median fascia normally diffuse he- 

 low, and containing black dashes beyond cell. 

 11. Costa luteous toward base, concolorous with ground of 

 outer part of wing; basal patch edged with black 

 above, its outer boundary meeting inner margin in 



a long slant 4. maritima. 32 



11. Costa whitish toward base, much paler than outer part 

 of wing; outer boundary of patch meeting inner mar- 

 gin at right angles, the patch not outlined Avith 

 black. 

 12. Basal patch on its basal half without denned bound- 

 ary, fading into the cream-white costal area.

 costa; speculum white, shaded with light gray; terminal line dark brown; fringe 

 below apex whitish. Hind wing dirty white. 15 mm.
