bordered with orange-brown, with a distinct W below the centre, behind it dark vein-streaks. Hindwing brown¬ 
ish-grey. Canada to New York. 
G. patefacta IVkr. (28 a) is very similar to the preceding, but greyer with more faded markings, single 
transverse lines, between them a black spot on the submedian fold. Hindwing daiker brownish-grey. Canada. 
G. innominata Sm. (— signosa Grt. nec Wkr.) (28 a) is likewise similar, but deeper red-brown with 
a prominently yellowish-white costal stripe, otherwise in the marking very similar to the preceding. Hind¬ 
wing dark reddish-brown. Canada to Colorado. 
G. hemina Grt. (28 b). Forewing greyish-brown with a black basal ray with blackish spots between 
the macula on the submedian fold between the double crenulate transverse lines and in the marginal area 
at the anal angle and below the apex; the maculae are pale, surrounded by brownish. Hindwing greyish- 
brown. Canada; Northern and Eastern States. 
G. oriunda Grt. (28 b) is a smaller species with purple-reddish forewing with prominently whitish 
costal stripe and maculae, and with a black, white-edged basal ray; transverse lines indistinct, single, be¬ 
hind the distal line black and white double dots; the undulate line consists of small white spots. Hindwing 
red-brown. Canada. Wisconsin. 
G. disposita Morr. (28 b) looks very much like hemina. it is much lighter brownish-grey, in some places 
tinted reddish-brown, the maculae surrounded by an intense black colour, the basal ray being thicker. Hind¬ 
wing paler. Canada. United States to New York. 
G, ferrealis Grt. (28 b). Forewing dark red-brown, in the costal-marginal area and at the base of the 
hind-margin greyish-white, before and behind the strongly dentate transverse lines with black and white vein- 
dots; maculae surrounded by greyish-white or yellowish-white; the undulate line consists of small yellowish- 
grey angular spots with black veins of the marginal area behind them. Hindwing reddish-brown. Canada. 
Maine; New York. 
G. petulca Grt. (28 b) has whitish-grey forewings irrorated with red-brown, with double dentate trans¬ 
verse lines and double dots behind them, connected on the submedian fold, and with light-ringed macidae; 
before the rather indistinct light undulate line with red-brown sagittary spots. Hindwing brownish-grey with 
reddish fringes. North-Eastern States. 
G. signosa Wkr. (28 c) is similar to petulca, more greyish-brown, the veins striped darker, below the 
maculae with a darker spot. Hindwing lighter. Canada: North-Eastern States. 
G. gausapata Grt. is somewhat similar to ferrealis (28b), but without its light costal area, on the 
dark red-brown ground somewhat irrorated with grey, the transverse lines bordered with whitish, the reni- 
form macula is a ferruginous patch. Hindwing dull brownish-red. California. 
G. contra B. & Benj.: is most closely allied to gausapata , but it differs from all in the posterior 
transverse line being only represented between the lower median branch and the submedian fold as a short, 
double, white-centred piece followed by a brownish-black spot. Ground-colour violettish-grey. irrorated with 
brown; anterior transverse line double, maculae quite extinct, the undulate line marked as a reddish-brown 
shadow. Hindwing brownish-grey with darker veins and central spot. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. Arizona. 
G. anianda Sm. (28 c) is similar to signosa. lighter whitish-grey the cell and the space behind it ochre- 
yellowish. below and behind the maculae darkened by brownish-black; the ring-macula is marked by a whi¬ 
tish ring, the reniform macula by a red-brown dot in the lower cell-angle with a black and white arcuate 
line below it; instead of the undulate line there are small red-brown sagittary spots. Hindwing yellowish 
brownish-grev. Canada; United States to California. -— ab. pallidior Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps ). is lighter, without 
the blackish-grey discal patch, the hindwing only darkened in the marginal area. 
G. longior Sm. (28 c) has more bluish-white forewings only slightly irrorated with brown similarly 
marked as the preceding, with less distinct transverse lines bordered with white, submedianly connected, the 
large maculae whitish with black streaks below and behind the reniform macula, obliquely to the apex con¬ 
tinued in a darker shadow. Hindwing greyish-brown. Colorado. 
G. contenta Grt. (= pomona Sm.) (28 b) is similar, more violettish-grey, with a slight brownish 
tinge, the veins striped darker, the transverse lines very deeply dentated; in the whitish ring-macula there 
are black dots, instead of the reniform macula there is a. flesh-coloured reddish patch irrorated with greyish- 
black. and a black streak below it; instead of the undulate line there are dark sagittary spots. Hindwing reddish- 
brown. Washington, California. 
G. baileyi Grt. (28 c). Forewing brownish-grey, often with a greenish tint, with a black, white-edged 
basal ray, double crenulate transverse lines, and large maculae surrounded by black, the renifoim macula 
centred hemochrome, between them with a faded median shadow; the undulate line consists of small black 
spots. Hindwing brownish-grey. Canada. United States (New Yoik. Albany).
