encircled by white ; a faint olivaceous-gray shade between the spots ; outer area 

 of wing, purple-brown, shaded with olivaceous and blue-gray, with a large, 

 triangular, white, costo-apical spot; a strongly sinuate t. p. band bends around 

 the reniform, largely olivaceous, bordered outwardly with some blackish and 

 arising from a blackish blotch on the costa ; irregular bluish-white shading sub- 

 terminally; terminal area, white, broadest above the anal angle, narrowed to a 

 point below the apex, bisected by a pale olivaceous-yellow shade; terminal dark 

 dots of cora not present; fringe, white, with a slight apical dark shade, and a 

 large dark shade opposite the cell. Secondaries: hyaline whitish, slightly dark- 

 ened along outer margin; fringes, with outer half white, inner half pale brown- 

 ish, a slightly darker interline between. Beneath : primaries, ochreous, with the 

 darker maculation of the upper side showing thru to give them somewhat of a 

 smoky-brown appearance; secondaries, cream-color. 



Female. Larger, but very similar to the male. Primaries : with the macu- 

 lation often somewhat more intense. Secondaries : variable, from slightly darker 

 than those of the male to nearly entirely fuscous brown. As the secondaries 

 darken, the interline of their fringes becomes darked. Beneath, as in male ; but 

 the secondaries possess a small discal spot. 



Both sexes have veins 3 (Cu^) and 4 (M^) stalked. 



Expanse: 5's 22-25 mm. 2's 25-29 mm.

The specimens heretofore placed under this name in the Barnes 

 Collection appear to represent at least two species. The Texas speci- 

 mens, discussed in the "Contributions" as listed above, have much less 

 heavily pectinate antennae than the "Type $ " of nigrita and five of 

 the six "Cotypes". The sixth "Cotype", a specimen from Fort Myers, 

 Florida, May 1-7, is placed with the Texas specimens, pending further
