a little wider on the costa than on the inner edge, and opposite the 

 discal dot produced outwards into an obtuse point. Discal dot black, 

 larger than in T. Calif orniaria, and surrounded by a white ring. 

 Half way between this and the outer edge of the wing is a slightly 

 oblique scalloped line (eight distinct scallops), the points acuter and 

 much smaller than in T. Californiaria ; a few white scales about the 

 points, within dark brown ; a broad, rather clear, pale rust red band 

 between the scalloped line and the mesial broad dusky band. 



Along edge of fore wings a row of minute black dots, much smaller 

 than in T. Californiaria, and obsolete on hind wings. Hind wings 

 considerably paler than fore wings, freckled with dusky scales, ar- 

 ranged in three diffuse indistinct bands, one enclosing the discal dot; 

 the basal one rather near the mesial one. Beneath uniform pale ash 

 freckled with minute black scales. Both wings alike, discal ddts 

 distinct on both wings. Hind wing not so clear of scales as in T. 

 Californiaria, and no row of marginal black dots, as in that species. 



Length of body, .45; fore wing, .58 inch.

This is more rust red than any species known to me. We have 

 no reddish tinged specimens from the Eastern States.

White speckled with minutely brown scales ; head white on the ver- 

 tex ; front black, palpi white, edged above with black scales. Anten- 

 nse of $ with long coarse hairs. Thorax and body white ; wings 

 white, finely powdered with brown scales, fore wings with five yel- 

 lowish brown lines, the basal one on the innt* fourth of the wing 

 much curved on the median vein ; the second is the broadest and 

 most distinct, going obliquely from the outer third of tVe costa to the 

 middle of the inner edge. Half way between this line and the outer 

 edge is a wavy slender line, parallel to, the edge; and between it and 

 the outer edge are two faint diffuse irregular lines. The outer i^-ar of 

 these lines are continued on the hind wing, the inner and shortest ?ne 

 being straight and distinct, the others more or less waved. Discal 

 dot minute, black, much larger and more distinct on hind wing. The 

 outer edge of fore wing is narrowly edged with black between the 

 venules, and there are small black dots on the fringe, opposite the 

 ends of the venules; fringe white. Costa testaceous above and on
