DESCRIPTION OF A NEW TEXAN ANISOTA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
The following species, new to the fauna of the United States, have been collected by Mr. L. Heiligbrodt, in Bastrop Co., Texas, and the types are contained in the beautiful collection of my friend, Mr. Otto Meske, in Albany.
Anisota Heiligbrodti, n. s.
♂ ♀. The antennæ of the male are broadly bipectinate, except at the tips ; those of the female are simple. This species differs from its allies by its purely gray color and by the fore wings being covered by two narrow blackish lines. The first of these is sub-basal, irregularly sinuous, produced on the disc; the second is regularly scalloped, interspaceally waved, and runs from apical third to internal margin. The wide median space has a more purely whitish ground, while the wing everywhere is thickly dusted with duskily cells.
