Psyche 
[June 
The lower edge of all the dorsal segments has a jet black stripe, 
which continues in a curve on the last segment; over all the seg- 
ments are scattered snow-white hairs. The apical process of the 
male is very long and quite slender, extending more than usual 
beyond the tip of abdomen. 
The wings are not very broad; usually but three branches of the 
radial sector reach the outer margin. Costal area near base is mod- 
erately broad ; the costals, cross-veins, and gradates wholly brown, a 
cloud covers the base of radial sector ; longitudinal veins pale, except 
at joinings, thirteen costals, seven or eight radials, and six cubitals 
beyond the divisory cell; the divisory vein ends a little beyond the 
cross-vein above; there are three to five inner gradates, about four 
outer ones. The inner series is nearly parallel to the radial sector, 
the first being about as near to the sector as the last; the three or 
four outer gradates are very short, and not far from the outer 
margin. The hind marginal area is broad so that the first few mar- 
ginal cells are much more than twice as high as broad. Length of 
fore wing, 10 mm. 
The type is from Go Home Bay, Lake Huron, Canada, 12 July; 
others are from Provincetown, Mass., July 1877 (Sanborn), Prince- 
ton, Mass., 16 Aug. (Johnson), Durham, N.H. (Fiske) and Mt. 
Desert, Me. (Proctor).
