Therina fisce llaria peccataria n. var.
This is a good variety of T. jisccllaria Gn. whieh ocenrs late in the fall. Expands :3:3- 35 mm. Head ochre, with a tinge of orange. Palpi yellow,
tipped with dark hairs, yery short. Thorax golden yellow, as are all wings. Abdomen a little lighter yellow than thorax. Fore wings golden yellow minutely speekled with dark atoms; basal line enrved outwardly like a bow from costa to inner margin, shaded inwardly with a deep smoky color much the same as the general eolor of atlwsaria \Valk. Between basal line and extradiscal line, light golden yellow, with prominent linear discal spot. Extradiscal line runs straight from costa for 2 mm., • then suddenly turns at an angle opposite the discal spot on median vein, whenc·e it bends baek to the fourth Ycin and then nms straight to inner margin. The basal and extradiscal line are fairly broad and shaded inwardly '"ith a smoky tinge, and outwardly almost to border of wing, except at apex, which is in all my examples golden yellow, the smoky shading being especially broad at inner margin. Hind wings clear golden yellmY to median brown line, 'Yhich has a prominent angle opposite the fifth w in. This line is shaded outwardly with a smoky color nearly to edge of wing, it being widest near inner angle.
Hl09] SWETT- NEW l'~lRIETY OF TIIERIN-:1 FISCELLARIA GN. !)7
Beneath och.re, lines on fore wings (bnt not the smoky hands) faintly showing through, a lighter ochre color than above. On the hind wings the median line alone sho\vs. The specimens vary somewhat in the sharpness of the angle of the extradiscal line of the fore wings, but are very tlistinct from all other speeies. Packard evidently recognized this, as he refers in his l\Ionograph, page .f!J4, to examples from Salem, l\Iass. The Vancom'er Island specimens are not this, but ~omniaria Hulst.
'This variety \Vas found by my friend l\Ir. Reiff at rest on trees at Forest Hills, Boston, l\Iass., late in the fall. I am rather inclined to bclieYe that fercidaria and fiscellaria arc one \'ariable species. Pcrrataria seems to he between these and athasaria 'Valk., and may be a form prodncetl by climatic changes.
Types: 2 0', 3 Q, Forest Hills, Boston, l\lass., (Reiff) Oct. 15; l\lass., (Sprague) Boston Soc. Nat. Hist.; Forest Hills, (Reiff) Sept. 15 and Oct. 20, the former retained in n1y collection; Cohasset, l\Iass., (0. Bryant) Oct. 7, Boston Soc. Nat. Hist.
