Extract

Bronchelia gravilinearia, n. sp.

The general ground color of this species is a light brown, approaching a fawn color. The palpi, however, are of a dark brown.

F. w.—Wing stretch 1¾ in. There are five distinct, dark brown,transverse bands, all commencing on the costa. The first two basal and rather close to each other; the inner of the two somewhat broken. The third very heavy. The fourth is much narrower than the third, and commences on the costa at about one-tenth of an inch from the third, curving until it touches it at about mid-wing, thence running nearly confluent with it to inner margin. The fifth band is not quite so heavy as the third, and is broken at about the third nervule. All the bands curve towards the base, but are not quite parallel. The space between the fifth band and outer margin is thickly .covered with scales of the same dark brown as the bands. Outer margin slightly notched, with a row of dark brown lunar marks. All the bands, except one and two, are extended across the hind wings.
