are once excavated below the apex, but not dentate. Fore wings uniformly 

 pale chocolate-brown, with two reddish-brown lines, the inner much curved, 

 with a projection on the median vein (sometimes obsolete) ; the outer line is 

 straight, slightly curved on the costa; in one specimen, the wing is much 

 paler within the extradiscal line than without; in another, it is of exactly 

 the same hue ; fringe concolorous with the lines ; a distinct, whitish, oblique, 

 apical patch; discal dots distinct on both wings, black. Hind wings with a 

 faint inner line, obsolete in one example; the outer line is straight, double 

 beneath but not above. Beneath, whitish, speckled finely with reddish- 

 brown ; on the fore wings the outer edge beyond the extradiscal line with 

 a large, oblique, apical, whitish patch ; the extradiscal line is double, but 

 the oval area is one-half narrower than that inclosed on the hind wings. 



Length of body, £, 0.50-0.60; of fore wings, £, 0.60-0.68; expanse 

 of wings, 1.20-1.40 inches.

This very pretty species differs from E. madusaria, or from E. marginata, 

 in the uniform chocolate-color, which is not broken by paler patches and 

 spots. The form of the wings is exactly as in E. madusaria. It also differs 

 in the extradiscal line being simple in both wings, not doubled as in 

 E. madusaria.

3 £ . — This species differs from all the foregoing and from madusaria in 

 the broader wings, the rather shorter body, the tip of the abdomen not reach- 

 ing to the anal angle of the hind wings, in the much shorter palpi, and in 

 the peculiar arrangement of the two lines on the fore wings, the hind wings 

 being caudate rather than scalloped. Body and wings pale ochreous ; front 

 concolorous on the lower two-thirds, above dark brown ; vertex like the rest 

 of the body. Antennae pectinated broadly to near the tip. Wings densely 

 mottled and strigated with brownish-ocher, giving a somewhat checkered 

 appearance to the clearer portions. Veins ochreous-brown. An inner, 

 curved, pale-brown line, bent outward on the submedian vein, and meeting 

 the outer line, which either runs very near, or, if remote, throws out a con- 

 necting streak, in the former case forming an oval, with the end resting on
