i. — Head, prothorax, and Hire trochanters beneath violaceous. Body 

 and wings ochreous, with a dull-greenish tinge: costa subfuscous toward tin* 

 base; an inner oblique line, which is not waved, dark or reddish-brown; 

 an (inter, blackish-brown, straight line, blacker toward the inner edge oi the 

 winy: between the two lines the wing is clear: miter line shaded externally 

 with gray scales: wing toward the internal angle with larger Mack strigae 

 than elsewhere, but no spot, with a distinct violaceous tinge; ochreous 

 toward the apex, as in the middle of the wing ; apex somewhat rounded, 

 outer edge deeply excavated toward the inner angle; a crescent-shaped spot, 

 on the inner angle, concolorous with the lines; a well-marked discal dot. 

 Hind willies ochreous, whitish toward the base and costa, more ochreous on 

 the hind edge; a dark outer line, slightly sinuate, becoming obsolete toward 

 the costa and duplicated toward the internal angle, and edged with violaceous. 

 Beneath, ochreous; outer edge of the winy and tip of the abdomen beneath 

 dull violaceous; costa strigated with dull violaceous; common line dull dark 

 violaceous; apical region ochreous, toward the internal angle violaceous; 

 inner edge whitish; hind wings more deeply ochreous, with the border 

 uniformly pale violaceous.

The usual absence of the discal dot, the few black strigse collected near the 

 internal edge, and the peculiar greenish hue in the middle of the fore wings 

 will distinguish this species from E. fervidaria. The antenna' are well 

 pectinated, and the head and thorax are violaceous. One female has no 

 bands, these being obliterated. It varies in sometimes having the discal dot 

 and in the greenish tinge on the wings. 



One male specimen is dull ochreous, with a greenish tinge, the wings 

 being a little strigated, especially on the outer edge and on the costal edge. 

 Head, palpi, and front of thorax with a violet lint. Inner brown line curved 

 on the COSta, straight below; discal dot lame and distinct on the fore wing; 

 outer line a little waved, dark brown, and ending on the costa at a distance
