Plate XIII — Yellow-edged Lexis is Fig. 29

The moth is pale slaty-grey, with the head, patagia, and anal tuft yellow. The fore wings are bordered on the costa with pale yellow, the band of this color running out to nothing before it quite reaches the apex. The specimen figured on the plate came from Colorado. It is also said to occur in Canada and the northern portions of the United States.
