From related species, this may be distinguished, according ^ 
Dr. Packard, “by the very distinct line at the base ° f ^6^abdo 
the basal ring beyond being unusually white, a ?Hfd h fMrd line 01 
of the wings having a broad marginal shade, while the^tlnrdh^o

costa acutely dentate, while in G. Humana it is instead obtuse) 
curved. It varies a good deal, especially m the tint of the brow, 
shade accompanying the third line. It does not apparently 
much in size.” The species is widely distributed, from Maine an 
Pennsylvania to Alabama, Texas and Nebraska, and u is said 
fped likewise upon the leaves of the pear.
