  "Of 
  C. 
  fidicularla 
  I 
  have 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  specimen, 
  and 
  I 
  

   should 
  not 
  dare 
  to 
  give 
  an 
  opinion 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  distinctness, 
  were 
  

   it 
  not, 
  fortunately, 
  for 
  a 
  decided 
  difference 
  presented 
  in 
  the 
  an- 
  

   tennae. 
  In 
  C. 
  cubicularis 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  short 
  and 
  evenly 
  

   clothed 
  with 
  cilia 
  which 
  are 
  only 
  one-half 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  in 
  C. 
  

   fidicularla 
  / 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  species 
  their 
  length 
  is 
  about 
  equal 
  

   to 
  the 
  diameter 
  of 
  the 
  antennal 
  stem'. 
  Furthermore, 
  my 
  

   example 
  lacks 
  the 
  rust-brown 
  bordering 
  of 
  the 
  subterminal 
  

   line, 
  which 
  is 
  so 
  conspicuous 
  a 
  feature 
  in 
  cubicularis. 
  The 
  

   apex 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  in 
  fidicularia 
  shows 
  a 
  lighter 
  shade 
  between 
  

   the 
  subterminal 
  line 
  and 
  the 
  margin, 
  while 
  in 
  cubicularis 
  this 
  

   portion 
  is 
  equally 
  dark 
  with 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  subterminal 
  region. 
  

   With 
  these 
  exceptions, 
  I 
  find 
  no 
  difference, 
  except 
  in 
  the 
  very 
  

   different 
  colors 
  of 
  the 
  two. 
  The 
  white 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  reniform, 
  

   are 
  also 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  distinctly 
  seen 
  in 
  cubicularis. 
  Whether 
  

   the 
  differences 
  above 
  stated 
  are 
  reliable, 
  could 
  only 
  be 
  deter- 
  

   mined 
  by 
  an 
  examination 
  of 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  examples. 
  But 
  the 
  

   decided 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  antennae 
  cannot 
  be 
  questioned, 
  and 
  

   this 
  feature 
  will 
  sufficiently 
  establish 
  the 
  specific 
  distinction 
  

   of 
  the 
  two 
  forms. 
  Their 
  comparative 
  size 
  is 
  of 
  little 
  import- 
  

   ance, 
  as 
  Caradrina 
  varies 
  very 
  much 
  in 
  that 
  respect.
