CATOCALA CLINTONII. 
a black longitudinal line runs from the base to the transvers anterior line ; reniform and sub- 
reniform pale and indistinct, the former surrounded with white. 
Secondaries yellow ; median band which does not extend to the abdominal margin is 
narrow in the middle and broadest near the costa; marginal band of moderate width and broken 
between the first and second median vcinlets, forming an oval spot near the anal angle ; 
apical spot yellow, fringes white. 
Habitat. New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. 
The species is evidently rare, the only examples I have yet seen arc the types in museum 
of Am. Ent. Soc. and the example above described which was taken near Providence, 
Rhode Island. 
It will seen by referring to Mr. Grote’s original description that there are a few points of 
difference between his type and my example, the principal of which is in the marginal band 
on upper surface of secondaries, which in the type is “continued ” to within a short distance 
of secondaries, whilst in mine it is broken as above described, Grote’s specimen also is a little 
larger, expanding 2 2-10 inches.

Expands 2^ inches. 
Head and thorax above black ; abdomen brown ; beneath smoky grey. 
Upper surface, primaries black, with the markings of a deeper and more lustrous shade. 
Secondaries yellow, with black basal hairs, and rather regular marginal and mesial bands ; 
apical spot yellow ; fringes black, except at apex, where they are white. 
Under surface yellow, with usual black bands, and otherwise much obscured with black. 
Habitat. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, &c. 
A rare species, and easily distinguished from all others by the black primaries. In some 
examples the sub-reniform is white, which color is continued from thence upwards on inner 
side of reniform towards the costa, thus forming a diagonal white bar or patch across the mid- 
dle of the wing.
