Lepidoptera op New York and Neighboring States 601 



tt Fore iving with long-drawn-out, falcate apex. 



18. C. satrapellus Zincken. Silver streak broad, but widely separated from 

 costa; ending in a sharp point seven-eighths way to outer margin, with a large 

 oval silver spot above its tip, and with a slender spur from its lower side, 

 running along Cu 2 . Ground yellow, becoming brown along the veins and edges of 

 the markings. Terminal space powdery fuscous, cut by short black streaks below; 

 terminal line obsolete below; subterminal line lead gray, running across the apex, 

 obsolete below; fringe white, brown-tipped on costal half. A white oblique streak 

 running to the apex. Hind wing pale gray. 25-35 mm. 



July. 



Southern States, north to New Jersey; South America. 



** Fore wing without a silvery stripe. 



19. C. elegans Clemens. Ground white; more or less shaded with dull brown, 

 always brown before the subterminal line, and more or less so along the costa 

 toward the base, and on the outer margin; sometimes dominantly brown, but 

 always with a large part of the terminal space white. A brown median oblique 

 shade to beyond middle of costa, often foVming the inner boundary of a brown 

 area; and a blackish oblique shade running to the middle of the inner margin; 

 the two sometimes connected by a brown line which forms a long tooth opposite 

 the end of the cell, and is preceded by a white line. Subterminal line character- 

 istic, white, followed by brown, nearly erect, but slightly excurved. Seven black 

 terminal dots. 12-15 mm. 



Larva on grass. Moth from July to September. 



Common and generally distributed. New York : Wilmington, Speculator, Otto, 

 Ithaca, Katonah, New Windsor, New York City, Staten Island. 



This is a broad-winged primitive species of doubtful affinity, superficially very 

 closely resembling albellus, but apparently not related. Sc and Rj are closely 

 approximate but not fused. 



A form of C. polingi Kearfott has been taken a few times at Ithaca, New York, 

 in July. It is grayer than C. elegans, with the double dark subterminal band 

 markedly angled opposite the cell, and inwardly oblique to costa, filled with white 

 at costa, but below more or less definitely dentate, and suffused; with the black 

 crescent on the inner margin constricted on A; the terminal dots enlarged, and 

 typically fusing into a line; and the labial palpi heavily banded with white. It 

 was described from Arizona. 



20. C. turbatellus Walker. Silver white; a black dot at lower angle of cell; 

 one below cell beyond middle, and a subterminal series; a sinuous postmedial 

 series, very often lost, and a terminal series of seven dots. All the dots except 

 the terminal ones and the one below the cell frequently obsolete. 20-25 mm. 

 (bipunctellus Zeller.) 



July. 



Canada to Pennsylvania and Illinois. New York: Otto, Rock City (Cattarau- 

 gus County), Ithaca, Big Indian Valley. 



21. C. perlellus Seopoli, race innotatellus Walker. Silver white, without mark- 

 ings; the female often silver-gray; hind wing sometimes pale gray in the male 

 also. 20 mm. ( sericinellus Zeller, inornatellus Clemens.) 



July and August. Larva on grass. 



Northern States, south to northern Pennsylvania, Illinois, and California; com- 

 moner northward. New York: Wilmington , North Elba, Saranac Inn, Newcomb, 

 Newport, Otto, Big Indian Valley, Onteora Mountain. 



The typical form from Europe is darker. 



22. C. teterrellus Zincken. Fuscous brown, strongly shaded with violet-gray 

 between the veins; fresh specimens often dominantly violet-gray. Median line
