Subocellar setae (SO 1 , SO 2 , and SO 3 ) triangularly placed; puncture SO a ap- 
proximate to and equidistant from SO 2 and SO 3 . Genal puncture (G a ) anterior 
to the seta (G 1 ). 
Labrum with median incision broadly triangular, rather shallow; median 
setse (M 1 , M 2 , M 3 ) triangularly placed; M 2 postero-laterad of M 1 and closer to 
M 1 than to M 3 ; La 1 directly posterior of and approximate to La 2 , behind the 
level of M 2 ; La 2 on the level of M 1 ; La 3 and M 3 on the same level near anterior 
margin of labrum ; puncture approximate and posterior to M\ 
Epipharyngeal shield narrowly bordering the median incision, not sharply 
defined. Epipharyngeal setse triangularly grouped, rather close together, nar- 
row, moderately long. Epipharyngeal rods indicated only by their short posterior 
projections.

SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION. 
Adult. 
Palpi brownish on outer sides, grayish white on inner and upper sides. Face 
and head grayish, more or less suffused with fuscous. Thorax fuscous. Fore- 
wings grayish, cross-marked with fuscous or, in some specimens, dark reddish 
brown ; the brown area forming an outwardly angulated basal patch some- 
what marked with gray or whitish scales and covering the basal third of the 
wing; a similar brown suffusion forming an ill-defined fascia extending from 
just beyond middle of costa to tornus, considerably wider on dorsum than on 
costa ; a narrow brown terminal line, following the contour of termen and 
broadening at apex to a distinct brown spot ; a fainter angulate brown line 
from costa dividing the ocellus ; on costa six or seven pairs of short, somewhat 
obscure, white geminate marks separated by distinctly brownish shadings ; 
ocellus metallic gray with longitudinal markings. Hindwings fuscous. Legs 
fuscous with inner sides white or grayish and tarsi annulated with white. 
Alar expanse, 9-14 mm. 
PUPA. 
Length, 5-6 mm. ; yellow or yellowish brown, not appreciably darker 
at extremities but with sutures and caudal margins of abdominal segments 
brown ; dorsal abdominal spines brown, arranged as shown in Plate I, C. 
Larva. 
When full grown, 10-11 mm. long by 1 mm. broad. Body sordid white; 
the scobination blackish, giving the entire larva a pale smoky fuscous color ; 
chitinized areas about body tubercles white except on prothorax where they are 
dark brown, in some specimens almost black ; thoracic shield brown or blackish 
brown ; median dividing line pale yellow ; chitinized parts of thoracic legs 
black or blackish brown ; anal shield yellowish ; anal fork two-pronged, small 
and easily overlooked ; body hairs brown ; crochets 36-42, brown, weaker at the 
cephalic end of the circle and increasing in length toward the caudal margin 
where the longest are over twice as long as the shortest at the anterior margin 
(PI. Ill, C). Head yellow, more or less suffused with dark brown, especially 
on ventral side ; a distinct brownish patch at posterior lateral angle of epi- 
cranium ; chitinized parts of trophi black or blackish brown ; ocellar pigment 
black, continuous under the ocelli ; lenses white.
