bands; the inner band bent outward in the middle; the middle band dislo- 

 cated and thrown outward in the middle of the wing. Fringe on both wings 

 dark brown ; *on the hind wings checkered faintly with pale ochreous. No 

 discal dot on hind wings. Beneath, deep rusty orange-ochreous, with three 

 dark hands. Whitish along the middle of the discal space and along the out- 

 side of the outer dark band, as well as along the inner edge of the wing; 

 costa edged at intervals with black. On the hind wings, the* bands are deep 

 rust-red, edged with whitish ; there are scattered black strigae over both 

 wings, and the fringe is as above.

Brunswick, Me., not uncommon in dry pine-woods and adjoining fields, 

 with Eufidonia notataria and Ematurga Faxonii; May 28,- July 1 (Packard, 

 Mus. Peab. Acad. Sc); Albany, N. Y., May 23 (Lintner and Morrison); 

 Colorado Territory, "St. Martin's Falls, Albany River, II. B. T." (Walker), 

 (Mead). 



This well-marked species differs from any other, except E. Faxonii, in 

 its color being deep rust-red, with black-brown strigse and bands. It is about 

 half the size of P Faxonii. It is noticeable for the narrowly-pectinated an- 

 tennas, the long, large palpi, and the four conspicuous black bands on the fore 

 wings. It does not vary much, the Colorado female specimen not differing 

 from Maine male*;, except in the more bent and broken middle line on the 

 hind wings. Structurally, it is nearly allied to Eufidonia notataria.

Thorax rather stout; abdomen short, not very slender, scarcely reaching 

 to the inner angle. Head with a full front, more so than in Fidonia, the 

 clypeus being more convex, with hairs projecting out from it as tar as the 

 ends of the palpi, which latter are rather stout and bushy, much as in Fidonia, 

 but with longer hairs, projecting a third of their length beyond the front. 

 Male antennae plumose, with remarkably long pectinations, giving a bushy 

 appearance to the antennae. Female antenna' simple. Fore wings triangular,
