Notwithstanding the variability of D. varus Grote, of which species D. sesquilinea is stated by Dr. Packard to be the ordinary male form, there can be no doubt that a very interesting species from Maine (prof. Fernald)and Massachusetts (Mr. Roland Thaxter) is distinct from any previously described. In this form the exterior line is without a costal angulation. It may be called Drepanodes Fernaldi n.s. ♀ Larger than the other species, light purplish brown. The two transverse lines composed of broken black lunules shaded with white. A black discal point on primaries. A median diffuse brown shade near the exterior line and continued on hind wings. The exterior line extends straight to costa near apices and is here not angulated; it is continued on hind wings, but merely as a white sub-lunulated line with black pointlets on the veins. Terminal space on fore wings shaded with brown. Fringes on both wings pale. Edge of secondaries brown. Beneath paler than above, sub-irrorate. A common white exterior lunulated line marked by black pointlets on the veins. Discal dots on both wings.
