Moth . — Two (? , one 9. Asli gi'ay, mixed with snow-Avbite scales on the head, thorax, and 
costa and base of fore wings. Basal region of fore wings whitish and inclosing a conspicuous- 
long black line, extending along the cubital A^eiu to the origin of the third cubital venule, and a 
shorter one diverging from it situated in the discal space and ending at the base of the first 
cubital venule; also a brown slash in the second cubital interspace. No transverse line on the 
basal third of the wing. Near the apex of the wing are three siibparallel black longitudinal 
streaks. A transverse line on the outer fourth of the wing, which is obsolete on the iuuer edge 
of the wing aud faintly marked on the costa, with fine black specks on each side, aud iuclosing a 
row of minute black dots. The veins and venules are speckled with black scales; two black spots 
larger than the others are situated in the subcubital space inside of the cross line, and a larger 
round black spot in the second cubital interspace, near the outer edge, besides a smaller one in 
the first cubital interspace; they are encircled with whitish scales. A faint submarginal zigzag 
brown line not reaching the apex of the wing and fading out near the internal angle. 
Fringe of both wings white, with a pair of black twin dots at the ends of the venules; on 
the outer edge of the fringe a dark slash situated opposite the ends of the venules. 
Hind wings sordid white, becoming dusty on the outer fourth. In one 9 the hind wings are 
entirely dark. 
Expanse of wings, 35-36 mm.; length of body, 17-20 mm, 
I copy Mrs. Slosson’s description of D. punta gorda^ which appears to be a variety of 
_D. anguina. (See PI. IV, fig. 10.) 
Male . — Head aud thorax appearing palest gray from admixture of pure white with cinereous. Abdomen, 
secondaries, and ground color of primaries sordid white. Primaries streaked longitudinally with blackish, which 
contrasts violently with ground color. A diffuse, heavy, blackish shade runs obliquely from apex inward. A curved 
blackish line, reaching neither costa nor internal margin at outer three-fourths of wing. Submarginul row of 
distinct, blackish spots, two of which are much larger than the rest aud margined with white. Costa interrupted 
near apex by white spots. Fringe sordid white, interrupted by blackish. Somewhat smaller than D. anguina, 
S, & A,, and differing markedly from that species in its sharp contrasts of color, which make it appear like a purely 
black and white insect. It has no ocherons shade. The antenme resemble those of D. anguina, the pectinations not 
as long as in those of Z>. inierna Packard. Described from two males taken at light, Pnnta Gorda, Fla. 
I received a few of the eggs of this moth from Miss Emily L. Morton, of Newbiirg, N. Y. The 
young hatched July 25, aud were fed on locust leaves. 
— Shape of a flattened spheroid, the upper pole somewliat concave, a little broader at 
the base than at the top. (Dyar says : ‘^Evenly rounded, flattened above and below.”) The shell 
is very thin and transparent, so that the larva, with its yellowish head and red lines, can be 
distinctly seen through it. The surface is covered with polygonal areas, which are not very 
distinct, though as much so on the upper pole as on the sides. The areas vary somewhat in shape, 
size, and distance apart, the interspaces being rather broad, and there are no beads like those on 
the surface of the eggs of Schizura. Diameter, 0.7-0.8 min.
