 spicuous, edged above with whitish, running from basal angle to upper side of

 its inner boundary running as in H. birdana, but not at all denned with pale or 

 blackish. Hind wing hardly paler, reticulate; head and thorax hardly paler.

5. H. baracana Busck. Fore wing a crisp mixture of fuscous, blue-gray, and 

 luteous or ochre-yellow, with the ochre often predominant in the fold and above

 indicated by a gathering of the dark fuscous powdering, not sharply denned. Discal 

 dot distinct, black. Hind wing pale, not distinctly reticulate. 12-16 mm.

2. PEARMACIS Hiibner 

 (Euxanthis Hiibner)

 connate or stalked 3VL and CUj of the hind wing; superficially exactly like Phalonia. 



Key to the species 

 1. Dull ochreous to gray. 



2. Antemedial fascia complete, reaching inner margin 2. sartana. 



* 2. Antemedial fascia stopping at A 1. bimaculana. 



1. Bright lemon yellow , 3. vitellinana. 



1. P. bimaculana Robinson. Varying from light dull ochreous to dull grayish 

 brown. Two thick dark brown crescents, of equal size, one running from below 

 middle of costa to vein A at one -fourth way out, the other from below apex 

 to lower angle of cell; both with the convex side down, and placed in paler areas. 

 Hind wing light brown to mouse gray. 10-14 mm. 



August and September. 



Southern States north to St. Louis, Missouri. 



2. P. sartana Hiibner. Similar to P. bimaculana. Antemedial fascia running 

 from middle of costa to inner margin at one-third way out, about twice as wide 

 at inner margin as at costa, with irregularly excurved outer side.
