LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 931 



than the second. Antennae slender, smooth, rather long. Abdomen 

 extending far beyond the hind wings. Legs smooth, slender. Wings 

 elongate, narrower than in the other species of this genus, with three 

 blackish lines ; first and second lines undulating, interrupted; third 

 submarginal, composed of dots. Fore wings rounded at the tips ; 

 exterior line much bent ; orbicular mark punctiform ; reniform streak- 

 shaped. Length of the body 4|- lines; of the wings 9 lines. 



This species has much resemblance to A. punctiferalis, but may 

 be especially distinguished by the exterior line of the hind wings, 

 which is more bent.
