oblique direction to the proximal margin, only forming an angle on the median, whereas in richardsoni it forms 
in the interspaces boAvs regularly turned towards the margin. 
A. leucocycla Stgr. Forewing blackish-brown, scantily strewn with white, the transverse lines being leucocycla. 
prominently white on the dark ground, the posterior line sharply dentate, and with small white maculae; the 
undulate line is white, too, in the centre distally bent. Hindwing yellowish, strewn with blackish brown, in the 
proximal part more strongly dusted with blackish brown, with a black discal luna and a broad blackish brown 
marginal band. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Greenland, North Western Canada. 
A. quadrilunata Grt. (13 k) is on the white ground of the forewing so densely dusted with brown that quadriluna- 
a uniformly light brown surface is produced, on which the single, black, dentate transverse lines and the sole a ‘ 
reniform macula, a dark luna, appear as the only markings. Hindwing whitish with a black discal luna and 
marginal band. From Colorado. 
A. lagganata B. <£• Benj. has somewhat less strangulated eyes than the other Anarta and somewhat lagganata. 
recalls small La-siestra uniformis (14d), for which reason it might not wrongly be ranged in the latter genus; 
otherwise it is the most closelly aliecl to quadrilunata (13 k) by its similar marking. Forewing dull smoky brown, 
the anterior transverse line effaced, shadow-like, no maculae except a small dark spot at the cell-end; posterior 
transverse line likeAvise rather indistinct. Hindwing in the disc white, the base, proximal margin and a broad 
marginal band smoky brown, the large oblong discal spot blackish-brown. Expanse of \Aungs: 28 to 32 mm 
Alberta (Laggan). 
A. etacta Sm. (14 c) is a larger species, on the forewing grey mixed with blackish-brown and moss- etxeia. 
green, with black transverse lines bordered with white; coniform macula marked moss-green, the upper maculae 
in white rings and surrounded with black; the undulate line is only marked by the contrast of colours betAveen 
the blackish-brown shade accompanying it proximally and the greenish-yellow marginal area. Hindwing blackish- 
broAvn Avith black marginal lunae proximally bordered Avith Avhite. Alaska. 
A. membrosa Morr. Forewing dark grey, marked black, with light transverse lines bordered with a membrosa. 
bluish grey; the coniform macula is a black spot extending to the posterior dentate transverse line; maculae light 
bluish-grey, surrounded with black, between them a black median shade passes through; marginal area bluish- 
grey with a blackish costal spot. Undulate line light with traces of a W, bordered with blackish, the deepest 
at the costal margin; fringes speckled black and white. Hindwing broAvnish-black with an indistinct discal 
spot and transverse line behind it. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. NeAV Hampshire (White Mts.). 
A. myrtilli L. is a well known and widely distributed species, having been dealt with in the palearctic myrtilli. 
part (Vol. Ill, p. 252) and figured there on t. 50 b, and also occurs in America, in Canada and Colorado. The 
form acadiensis Beth, is smaller, darker, less red, with a brighter yelloAv and more extensive spot on the hindwing, acadiensis. 
The typical myrtilli perhaps does not occur in America at all. From Alaska. 
A. cordigera Thnbg. (= luteola Grt. & Bob.) (Vol. Ill, t. 50 c). Of this species Ave may say the same cordigera. 
as of myrtilli (comp. Vol. Ill, p. 253). It has become known from Labrador and Colorado. 
A, mimuli Behr is on its body and forewing blackish, Avith quite indistinct transverse lines marked mimuli. 
whitish; the light undulate line expands at the anal angle into a larger spot. The hindwing is like in cordigera 
yellow with a jet-black marginal band. California. -—- The larva is reported to resemble that of myrtilli and 
to live on Eunanus tolmiaei, Antirrhinum kingii, and Mimulus scrophularia. 
A. impingens Wkr. (= curta Morr., nivaria Grt., perpura Morr.) (14 c) has lilac-grey forewings strewn impingens. 
with brown, with black transverse lines, the posterior line being sharply dentate, and with an intense black 
median shade between the entirely indistinct maculae; the undulate line is light, proximally shaded with brown, 
Avith small black sagittae. The yellowish hindwing is dusted with brownish-red, with a faded brown marginal 
band and discal luna. The $ is much darker. British Columbia, Colorado. 
A. pbaea Hmps. (13 k) is a very dark blackish-brown species strewn with grey and white, with a phaea. 
short black basal ray, incomplete indistinct transverse lines and small maculae surrounded with whitish; the 
undulate line consists of white dots, proximally with small black sagittae. HindAving greyish-brown with whitish 
fringes. From the arctic parts of America (Victoria Land, Cambridge Bay). 
A. melanopa Thnbg. (= nigrolunata Pack.) (Vol. Ill, t. 50 c). This widely distributed, chiefly palearctic melanopa. 
species (Vol. Ill, p. 253) also occurs in Canada and on the higher mountains of the United States as far as doAA'n 
to Colorado and New Mexico and seems to be less variable in the New World. — The red larva with longitudinal 
yelloAv stripes lives on species of Vaccinium. 
A. laerta Sm. has smoky broAvn forewings with single black transverse lines, the posterior line being laeria. 
dentate. Maculae small, encircled with black or also not, reniform macula blackish. Hindwing black, in the disc 
dirty white with a large black discal luna. The species is the most similar to melanopa from which it differs
