While in the Catskill Mountains this summer, I met with a very curious variety of L. Misippus in which the conspicuous black stripe crossing the secondaries was altogether absent, and the corresponding mark on the primaries only indicated by a dusky cloud extending to the median nervule and enclosing no white spots. On the underside the differences remain the same. In the ordinary type, there is a whitish cloud around the cross stripe.

In Dr. Clemens Tineid genus Anaphora,the fore wings are 12-Veined. The submedian fold, however, seems to me to become a true vein towards the margin, giving an additional vein (vein 1b). Internal nervure, vein 1a, shortly furcate at base. Median nervure sending out vein 2 near the extremity to internal angle ; and emitting 3 and 4, nearer together, on to the external margin. From the base of the wing at the middle of the discal cell, a “veinlet” is emitted which is furcate before the centre of the wing, sending one branch, the lower, out to extremity of the ce1l between the origin of 4 and 5, near 4, and angulatedly connected with it, while 5 seems independant.

Male expands 1.3 inches. Al1 the wings dark brown above. The primaries throughout the middle and basal areas sparingly sprinkled with fulvous scales. This color is deepest around the stigma, which consists of a velvety black bar extending obliquely from near the middle of the submedian vein to the cell, and is often divided into two equal parts by the fourth median veinlet. A large square patch, not sprinkled with fulvous, occurs in the middle area at the termination of the cell ; and a small detached yellow spot lies immidiately below, and outward from the anterior termination of the stigma.
