 without autoptical acquaintance with E. Caicics, has regarded it as con- 

 ajenerical with the European species.

The female has the anterior wings evenly and entirely cinereous, all 

 markings — except the terminal and subterminal arcuated iuterspaceal 

 rows of blackish dots, which are nearly obsolete — are entirely wanting. 

 Cramer's figure is very defective, and barely recognizable.

 Anterior wings cinereous, traversed by brown, irregularly undulate, 

 zig-zag lines. Extreme base at costa brown, with two blackish brown, 

 short, broad, dashes, the upper immediately below the costa. the lower 

 parallel, and immediately below the subcostal nervure. A pale cinere- 

 ous space succeeds, projected nearly to the extremity of the discal cell 

 at the middle of the wing, traversed by two faint, undulating, oblique, 

 brown lines, limited exteriorly by a distinct, slightly undulating, brown 

 line, which is strongly marked inferiorly to internal mai'gin, and runs ob- 

 liquely from costa to discal cell, thence inversely very obliquely to inter- 

 nal margin, which it joins near the base of the wing, directly below the 

 cnsto-basal dashes. A second, similar brown line to the one last men- 

 tioned, runs shortly parallel, separating below the third m. uervulo. 

 thence running straightly to internal margin, thus leaving a cinereous, 

 somewhat triangular space on internal margin. The wing, between 

 these lines and beyond, is shaded with brown. No discal dot. An in- 

 terrupted, costal, cinereous space, beyond which, three iindulate, brown 

 lines, of which the outer very faint, all very plainly uiiikcd at costa.
