Plate XIII — Veined Ctenucha is Fig. 20

From Ctenucha cressonana, its nearest ally, this species may be distinguished by its smaller size, the reddish tint of the stripes upon the fore wings and the edges of the shoulder lappets, and the fact that the fringe opposite the end of the cell on both wings is marked by fuscous, and not uniformly white throughout as in C. cressonana. The species ranges from Colorado to Mexico.
