LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 19 



preceding species, Length of the body 9 lines ; of the wings 24 

 lines. 



The structure of the hind wings is sufficient to distinguish this 

 species from all those previously mentioned. 



a. Trenton Falls, New York. Presented by E. Doubleday, Esq. 



8. Chcerodes transferens. 



Foem. Ochracea, nigro conspersa ; caput supra album ; alee extus 

 subpurpurascentes, linea recta pallide testacea ; puncto discali 

 nigro ; anticce valde falcatce, linea costam versus angulum per- 

 acutum fingente, linea exteriore nigra indistincta undulata, 

 margine exteriore vix undulato ; posticus linea valde indistincta, 

 margine exteriore undulato. 



Female. Ocbraceous, with minute black speckles, which are 

 most prevalent on the under side. Head white above. Win^s with 

 a slight purplish tinge beyond the line ; the latter straight, pale 

 testaceous ; interior black discal point rather small. Fore wings 

 extremely falcate ; the line near the costa forming an extremely 

 acute angle, having between it and the exterior border an indistinct 

 undulating black line formed of contiguous speckles ; exterior bor- 

 der very slightly undulating, most prominent in the middle. Hind 

 wings with the line very indistinct ; exterior border distinctly undu- 

 lating, forming a rounded angle in the middle. Length of the body 

 8 lines ; of the wings 24 lines. 



This species may prove to be the female of C. transducens, from 

 which it differs in the exterior border of the wings, in the much 

 more falcate fore wings, and in the more acute angle formed by the 

 line, the latter also being longer and less curved between its angle 

 and the costa.

Var. Mas. Cervina ; ala; subpurpurascente tinctce, linea sub- 

 recta subpurpurascente extus marginata ; anticce linea costam 

 versus obsoleta ; posticce angulatai, non caudatce. 



Var. /3. Rather larger and more ochraceous than the pre- 

 ceding specimen. Wings largely whitish varied ; discal point much 

 larger ; line ferruginous-brown.
