Sch. argentifasda B. <£■ McD. (49 b). Forewing olive, powdered with cinnamon-brown, particularly 
subterminally and in the basal area, the proximal half of the discal area silvery white, the distal half olive- 
brown containing 2 small black reniform maculae; postmedian line and undulating line white. Hindwing whitish, 
towards the distal margin darkened. Arizona. 
Sch. illustra Sm. (49 b). Forewing yellowish ochreous with scarcely darker transverse lines, the distal 
half of the discal area, the subterminal area, and the veins of the marginal area shaded with brownish ochreous; 
the posterior transverse line on the veins finely distally dentate, no undulating line; the reniform macula is 
a white streak edged with brown. The white hindwing shows a yellowish hue. Colorado. 
Sch. tertia Grt. (49 b) shows in the basal half white forewings strewn with brown and lead-colour, 
the marginal half is brown with lead-coloured powdering, the anterior black transverse line is double, all the 
maculae are surrounded by blackish, the white post median line is distally spotted black; the white undulating 
line is dentate. Hindwing yellowish-white with a brownish discal spot and subterminal band. New Mexico, 
f. megarena Sm., from Texas and Utah, is lighter with pure white hindwings. 
Sch. albafascia Sm. (49 b) is on the forewing only white in the broad discal area, in the basal 
and marginal areas red-brown and strewn with bluish-grey, in the latter with white veins and with an indistinct 
undulating line; the transverse lines are black, and the maculae being centred with bluish-grey are surrounded 
by black, the reniform macula is situate in a feeble light reddish-brown band. Hindwing yellowish-white with 
a brownish-grey discal spot and marginal band. Utah, Colorado. — f. erosa Sm. is the race from Arizona, it 
is somewhat smaller, on the forewing basally and subterminally lighter, yellowish, the distal half of the median 
area being mostly hired with yellowish. The whitish hindwing exhibits a broader dark marginal band. 
Sch. brunnea B. <£• McD. (49 b) is a most variable species, on the forewing brown, mixed with yellowish 
ochreous and olive, basally and subterminally darker brown, strewn with bluish-grey, also in the distal half 
of the median area mostly more intensely powdered with brown, with a faded broad median shadow being 
the darkest as a costal-marginal spot above the quadrangular reniform macula; undulating line light with 
a dent above the centre extending to the postmedian line. Hindwing yellowish with a broad black marginal 
band and discal spot. Single specimens are all over powdered with brown, so that the whole marking is covered, 
others being of very contrasting colours, whilst others again are very pale, yellowish. From California. 
Sch. alba Sm. (49 1)). Forewing yellowish white, basally and subterminally yellow and strewn with 
brown, the transverse lines broad brown, the posterior line divided into spots; from the dark brown reniform 
macula a yellowish median shadow extends to the hind-margin. Hindwing brownish with a feeble discal 
spot and marginal band. Arizona. — f. brucei Sm., from Colorado, is somewhat larger, lighter, monotonous, 
basally and subterminally more reddish, also the discal area powdered with brownish. 
Sch. diffusa Sm. (49 c) is quite light reddish-grey with hardly visible markings, the basal and sub- 
terminal areas being hardly darker, otherwise similar to the preceding ones. Colorado. 
Sch. walsmghami Edw. (49 c). Forewing white, powdered with rusty brownish, basally and subter¬ 
minally darker, the anterior transverse line below the. cell acute-angular, the posterior line finely dentate; 
the reniform macula is a dark luna; fringes speckled white and red-brown. The white hindwing shows a faint 
reddish-brown hue. Oregon. 
Sch. unimacula Sm. (49 c) is similarly marked, of a purer silvery white, the basal area scarcely darkened, 
the reniform macula very characteristic, strangulated, and on the median inwardly produced, the end of which 
is white; from here a faint reddish-brown median shadow extends to the hind-margin. Hindwing white with 
a light reddish-brown discal luna and a white-spotted marginal band. Colorado. 
Sch. lynx Guen. (49 c). Forewing olive ochreous-brown, the light transverse lines on the averted 
sides accompanied by broad red-brown bands, in the faint reddish-brown median shadow with the crescentiform 
blackish-brown reniform macula. Abdomen and hindwing orange, the latter with a large black discal luna 
and marginal band. Massachusetts to Florida and Texas. 
Sch. sordida Sm. (49 c) is similar, smaller, more chocolate brownish, with a pink hue in the discal 
area, the base and an apical spot more yellowish, with more distinct white, dentate transverse lines. Hindwing 
more extensively black. Texas, Alabama. 
Sch. pelulans Edw. (49 c) differs from sordida in its smaller size, the paler, more yellowish colouring 
with an orange basal and subterminal tint. Hindwing much paler orange, the black colour very much reduced. 
Florida. 
Sch. ar StrecJc. Fore wing light ochreous yellowish, in the basal, subterminal, and marginal areas brown, 
the white transverse lines rather indistinct, feebly dentate like the undulating line; the indistinct reniform 
macula is brown, the fringes are speckled brown. Hindwing yellowish with a brownish-grey discal spot and a 
very broad marginal band. Texas. Probably only a pale form of sordida.
