Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States 513 



tinct largely black band across the apex. Fringe with basal line stronger, but 

 outer line weaker; outer part of fringe barred with gray. 10-12 mm. 

 New Jersey to Maryland. 



44. P. hoffmanana Kearfott. Base cream, its outer boundary oblique from middle 

 of costa to inner margin one-third way out; outer part a confused mixture of 

 yellow-brown and black, with a white postmedial spot on costa, preceded and 

 "followed by chocolate brown; the outer chocolate brown bar tending to continue as 

 a fascia across the apex. Fringe mixed dull yellow and gray. Hind wing dark 

 gray. 12 mm. 



May and June. 



Black Mountains, North Carolina. 



45. P. zoxcana Kearfott. Base of fore wing cream, the boundary running from 

 before middle of costa to inner margin at one-third way out; outer part yellow- 

 brown, mixed with blackish; forming a large blackish subterminal patch, with a 

 cream-white postmedial costal spot, and a pale streak at middle of inner margin. 

 Fringe with distinct dark basal line. Hind wing dark gray. 8-11 mm. 



May and June; August. 

 Cincinnati, Ohio. 



46. P. toxcana Kearfott. Base cream white, more or less scaled or shaded with 

 dark gray; a vague yellow-brown median fascia, shaded with gray, nearer base 

 on inner margin; outer third of wing heavily shaded with yellow-brown on a 

 silvery gray base; the brown principally in two oblique fascise, the upper crossing 

 the apex and partly filled with a small black patch; considerable white scaling in 

 postmedial region. Fringe dark gray and dull white, with considerable yellow- 

 brown in its base. Hind wing light gray, paler at base. 10-12 mm. 



August and September. 



Northern New Jersey to western Pennsylvania. 



P. marloffiana Busck {nonlavana Kearfott) I am unable to distinguish from 

 P. toxcana. The type differs only in the greater extension of the black and gray 

 at the expense of the yellow-brown; but toxcana Kearfott is included in Busck's 

 conception of marloffiana. Busck's name has a few weeks' priority. 



April; August. 



Western Pennsylvania; Maryland, southern Ohio. New York: Ithaca. 



47. P. lavana Busck. Similar to P. toxcana, 'but lighter and apparently broader- 

 winged. Head pale; costal edge with black points, base much shaded with light 

 gray; extreme base blackish; median oblique fascia narrow, blurred, and often 

 obscure, mixed ochreous and light gray, the gray dominant; median fascia fol- 

 lowed by a well-marked whitish area; outer part of wing mixed light gray and 

 ochreous, with some black scaling; the bar across apex rather distinct and largely 

 black-filled. Fringe dark gray with a little yellow in base (nonlavana Kearfott; 

 dubitana, auct., not Kearfott). 10 mm. 



June; August. Larva on Pentstemon. 



I have seen this species determined as campicolana Walsingham. Some speci- 

 mens show practically no yellow. 



Nova Scotia to British Columbia, and south to southern New Jersey and Missouri. 

 New York: Ithaca.
