and running obliquely, slightly arcuated, to internal margin, the middle 

 one most distinct, and running closely parallel to the second brown line 

 mentioned above at internal margin, the latter line apparently joined to 

 the inner line at about the middle of the wing. 



These fine transverse lines form a figure which somewhat resembles 

 a sprawling K. A blackish-brown, linear dash, in the interspace be- 

 tween the first and second median nervules at base. A cinereous shade 

 spreads from the costa, where it is narrow, outwardly to external margin 

 above the second m. nervule. Apical space, limited inwardly by this 

 shade, of a brownish hue; nervules ciiiereous with brown spots; two 

 dark brown, disconnected, macular shade lines, of which the ante-apical 

 is the most distinct; fringes cinereous. 



Posterior wings, bright yellow at base, with very wide blackish mar- 

 ginal bands, traversed by two black lines, which are more distinctly per- 

 ceivable when crossing a cinereous patch at anal angle; costa very pale; 

 fringes cinereous. 



Under surfoce of both pair of wings rather pale brownish, suffused 

 centrally with a warmer shade, and traversed by regularly undulate- 

 dentate, darker shade lines, of which one is very distinct and prominent. 



Head above, and collar, brownish-cinereous ; thorax, cinereous, with 

 blackish median line ; abdomen, cinereous, with two dorsal, interrupted, 

 black lines, and with broad, segmentary, black, lateral demi-bands. 



The female resembles the male ; the transverse lines on the anterior 

 wings are medially more obscured by pale brownish, and more obsolete; 

 subcostally, the apex is whitish.

This is impossibly to be referred to Cramer's figure E, PI. 301, which 

 is a caricature of any lepidoptei'ous insect. I imagine. Dr. Herrich- 

 Schfeffer doubtfully refers this species* to Cramer's " .sry row." while 

 E. rimosa is apparently the species so determined by Mr. Walker. 

 Until an original for Cramer's figure be found, if found it can be. acjjrun 

 may be placed on the lists as a doubtful species, while the grossness of 

 the figure will probably lead to the rejection of the specific name. 

 T (1(1 not enter into the disagreements of the present species with Cra- 

 mer's figure, for the reason that I can find no striking resemblance be-
