Larva, — Rather slender compared with larva of E. clemataria ; a sharp 

 dorsal tubercle on the third thoracic ring ; a broad dorsal wart just behind 

 the middle of the body, and a lateral sharp one in the middle of the body. 

 A dorsal hump between the two pairs of abdominal feet. Body violaceous, 

 transversely striped with reddish. Pupa pale brown, spotted with reddish- 

 brown. Feeds on Clethra aini folia'. — (Described and the larva figured from 

 Abbot's MS. drawing.) 



Mr. Emerton has found the larva in Salem, on the currant, at the end of 

 July ; the moth appeared August 6. Mr. W H. Patton reared the moth 

 from the pupa (figured on plate 13) in NcwHavon , July 26. I think that 

 it also feeds on the red maple. 



From an examination of M. GueneVs and Walker's types, I have been 

 led to arrive at the conclusions given in the synonymical table of this species. 

 Fig. 63 represents GueneVs transversata, 68 his goniata (which is Drury's 

 transversata). Walker's transposita is equivalent to GueneVs transversata ; 

 and his transversata is ecpial to GueneVs goniata. The species of Walker 

 are based on individual variations of Drury's transversata.

3 c? and 1 2 . — Antenna?, subpectinated. Wings very falcate, especially 

 in the female, where they are produced into a long point. Body and wings 

 fawn-color, with scattered black dots; front of head reddish-brown ; vertex 

 white. Abdomen a little shorter than the hind wings. Hind tibiae slightly 

 swollen. Fore wings with two inner, reddish-brown, diffuse lines ; the inner 

 situated half-way between the base of the wing and discal dot, curved and 

 more or less scalloped, the outer curved, situated just beyond the discal dot, 

 and joining the third, outer line on the second median venule ; it is broader 

 and still more diffuse than the basal line. Outer line straight, bent back at a 

 very acute angle on to the costa, the line above the bend being more or less 

 angularly curved and dilated on the costa ; an oblicjue white line extends 

 from the bend to the costa just before the apex, which is white above and 

 blackish below, with a large reddish-brown patch extending from below the
