LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 
19 
preceding species. Length of the body 9 lines ; of the wings 24 
lines. 
The structure of the hind wings is sufficient to distinguish this 
species from all those previously mentioned.

8. Chcerodes transferens. 
Fcem. Ochracea, nigro conspersa ; caput supra album ; alee extus 
subpur purascentes, linea recta pallide testacea ; puncto discali 
nigro ; anticee valde falcatee, linea costam versus angulum per- 
acuturn jingenie , linea exteriore nigra indistincta undulata , 
margine exteriore vix undulato ; posticce linea valde indistincta , 
margine exteriore undulato . 
Female . Ochraceous, with minute black speckles, which are 
most prevalent on the under side. Head white above. Wings with 
a slight purplish tinge beyond the line ; the latter straight, pale 
testaceous ; interior black discal point rather small. Fore wings 
extremely falcate ; the line near the costa forming an extremely 
acute angle, having between it and the exterior border an indistinct 
undulating black line formed of contiguous speckles ; exterior bor- 
der very slightly undulating, most prominent in the middle. Hind 
wings with the line very indistinct ; exterior border distinctly undu- 
lating, forming a rounded angle in the middle. Length of the body 
8 lines ; of the wings 24 lines. 
This species may prove to be the female of C. transducens , from 
which it differs in the exterior border of the wings, in the much 
more falcate fore wings, and in the more acute angle formed by the 
line, the latter also being longer and less curved between its angle 
and the costa.

Var. Mas. Cervina ; alee subpur pur a scente tinctee , linea sub- 
recta subpurpurascente extus marginata ; anticee linea costam 
versus obsoleta ; posticce angulatee , non caudatee. 
Var. /3. Rather larger and more ochraceous than the pre- 
ceding specimen. Wings largely whitish varied ; discal point much 
larger ; line ferruginous-brown.
