I may remark here that my experience does not agree 

 with Hagen's statement 1 that " the female [timbrata] with 

 the band of the wings as in the male is very rare," (the 

 italics are mine), although such females are of course much 

 less common than the females without banded wings. The 

 difficulty of distinguishing between umbrata females without 

 the bands and teneral females of funerea which have not 

 yet developed the yellow or dark coloring as described 

 above is considerable, especially as the present collection 

 contains some females in which the only apparent coloring 

 to the wings is yellow along the anterior margins, and the 

 apex from the outer end of the pterostigma brown. These 

 I also refer to funerea because they possess a neurational 

 peculiarity to be found in undoubted funerea, viz., that on 

 the front wings there are two rows of cells between the 

 short sector and the supplementary sector next below, while 

 in umbrata (with the exception of one male from Jamaica) 

 there is but a single row of cells in this place. Whether 

 this is a fairly constant difference remains to be established 

 or disproven by the examination of a greater number of 

 individuals than I have been able to study.
