the wings and legs do. L. truxaliata, however, is more nearly allied 

 to our eastern species than the present one. 



It differs from L. aspilates and crocallata in the head being a little 

 smaller, and the front slightly narrower, while the antennas are well 

 pectinated, the pectinations being slender and rather long, as long as 

 in some species of Caberodes. The palpi are remarkably long, erect, 

 rising far above the front, and usually pointed; the third point is 

 more indistinct than is usual in this genus or in Endropia or Caberodes. 

 The hind femur is slender, not swollen as in the other species; the 

 costa is much wider, so that the subcostal venules are shorter and 

 thrown off at a much greater angle ; the lozenge shaped subcostal cell 

 is one half smaller than in the two other species, and there are other 

 slight differences, the venation of T. crocallata and aspilates being al- 

 most identical. The wings are a little narrower, much more angu- 

 lated, and the markings are different. This divergence is paralleled by 

 that observed in the species of Endropia, though E. serrata is serra- 

 ted and the wings long and narrow, while in E. pilosaria Pack. 

 MS. , the wings are short and broad, and the edges entire ; this is the 

 most aberrant species of the genus known to us. In Caberodes there 

 is much the same divergence from the generic type. C. florida dif- 

 fers from C. major aria, the type of the genus, in having narrow an- 

 gulated and falcate wings, and antennas with pectinations half as 

 long as in the latter species. 



It is bright ochreous yellow, both wings dotted over with brown 

 specks. Orbits and tips of palpi speckled with light brown. Three 

 large brown spots edged with dark brown on the costa, the basal one 

 next the thorax not extending below the subcostal vein , and nearly 

 twice as long as broad, the second just within the middle of the wing, 

 equilaterally triangular, the apex blunt and resting on the median 

 vein; the third is nearer the apex than the second spot, and is equi- 

 laterally triangular, with the apex acute and resting on the independ- 

 ent venule. Between these two last spots are three small costal spots. 

 A minute discal dot. Fringe concolorous with the rest of the wing. 

 Hind wings with a large tooth ; a large tooth in middle of fore wing. 

 Hind wings slightly paler on inner half, no markings. Beneath, the 

 large triangular spots are faintly reproduced and the brown speckles 

 are long and larger than above. The fringe is yellow, with a brown 

 line at base. 



Length of fore wing, .76 inch. Edwards.
