line geminate, its parts widely separated, oblique outwardly from costa to cell, 

 inwardly to median vein, outwardly to submedian fold, inwardly to vein 1, 

 thence rounded outwardly- to inner margin ; claviform outlined by rufous its 

 distal point making contact v^ith the median shade ; orbicular nearly round, in 

 one paratype filled in with ochreous ; median shade obscure, diffuse, oblique 

 outwardly from costa to median line, where it touches the base of the reniform, 

 thence oblique inwardly to inner margin ; reniform obliquely kidney-shaped, 

 fulled wath ochreous ; t. p. line geminate, its parts widely separated, produced to 

 slight points on the veins; s. t. line oblique from costa, somewhat waved, closely 

 parallel to t. p. line below vein 4; terminal line distinct; fringes similar to 

 ground color of the primaries, their tips purplish. Secondaries; pale, heavily 

 tinged with rufous, with a faint rufous terminal line and pale rufous fringes. 

 Beneath : tinged with rufous, the secondaries paler toward the inner margin 

 and basally.

Closely allied to "Gortyna'' senilis Smith, which also has the reni- 

 form filled with ochreous, but better marked and deeper in color. The 

 only Colorado specimen of senilis in the Barnes Collection is a 

 female, compared with Smith's type by Dr. Barnes. A male from 

 Southern Utah (Poling) appears to match this female in all details. 

 From external examination the male genitalia of this Utah specimen 

 shows the valve edge less curved ventrally.

Antennae of male strongly serrate and fasciculate. Head, thorax, tegulae, 

 and patagia dull rufous-brown. Abdomen brownish-ochreous. Primaries: 

 ground color rufous brown. Basal line obscure geminate, darker brown; t. a. 

 line brown, geminate, as an oblique inwardly facing V in the subcostal cell, 

 thence oblique to near claviform v,rhence it is slightly rounded to inner margin ; 

 claviform ill defined, margined by a darker line above and below, appearing 

 as a slightly paler streak; orbicular and reniform poorly defined, almost lost 

 in the ground color; t. p. line outwardly bordered with pale, slightly rounded 

 out at costa, oblique inwardly to vein 2, with a slight outward bend on sub- 

 median fold, and thence more acutel}'^ oblique inwardly to inner margin; s. t. 

 line pale, faint, waved, nearly in a parallel course to the t. p. line except in 

 costal region where it is obscured; terminal line dark brown; fringes dark brown 

 with a paler line at their bases. Secondaries ; pale-ochreous. tinged with some
