larly-curved parallel black lines on both wings, seen more distinctly beneath; 

 and by tlie broad, clear, flesh-yellow, or luteous band between the discal dot 

 and the extra-discal line. 



The Labrador specimen does not differ from those from Maine and Mas- 

 sachusetts, except thai it is rather larger. (Length of body, 0.35 ; fore wing, 

 0.42 inch.) 



The following is a description of the Labrador example: 



More luteous on the fore wings than usual. Palpi rather stout; hairs 

 scarcely as long as usual ; front dark cinereous. Fore wings cinereous, with 

 darker scales, especially on the costa and toward the apex; the base of the wing 

 is crossed by dark diffuse lines; discal dot larger, more diffuse than usual; 

 beyond is a broad luteous hand, very diffuse and irregular, but free from dark 

 scales, and still beyond is a submarginal, diffuse, blackish band ; fringe as 

 usual. Secondaries with a dusky discal spot; edge of ring black; fringe 

 long, cinereous, interrupted by narrow dusky spots; inner margin of the wing 

 with blackish scales, gathered just beyond the discal dot into a faint diffuse 

 line, disappearing toward the middle of the wing. 



Length of body, 0.35 ; of fore wing, 0.42 ; expanse of wings, 0.85 inch. 



Caribou Island, Straits of Belle Isle, July 14, 1860. 



This species is much larger than several allied forms from Maine, and 

 the discal dot is more diffuse and larger, the space beyond luteous, more clear 

 from dark scales, while the anterior two-thirds of the hind wings are clearer. 

 Beneath, the discal dot is distinct, on the tore wings being black, linear, with 

 an outer slightly sinuate line; a little dusky on the costa and outer edge. On 

 the hind wings, a dusky line, more distinct than above. Legs pale, as usual.

1 9. — Fore wings acutely produced, less so than in E. luteata; outer 

 margin quite oblique. Head and palpi dark-cinereous; palpi acute, extreme tip 

 pale; thorax covered with brownish scales; abdomen banded with pale-ashen, 

 the broadest band on the basal joint. Fore wings light russet-brown, with 

 brownish-ochreous scales; costal margin rusty-cinereous, with five blackish 

 spots, each sending an obscure russet-brown line across the wing, the extra- 

 discal one being most distinct, and regularly curved opposite the discal dot;
