It is more tliaii probable that specimens of this species are in other 

 collections mixed with either E. (imula or E. americalis, but the species 

 seems more rare than either. It is represented in the jSTational Museum 

 collections by two poor specimens, without locality, marked July, and 

 which were found with (vmuJa.

Ground color, a dull smoky gray over luteous; ])owdery. Head and 

 thorax uniform; immaculate. Primaries uniformly colored, without 

 contrasting shades; the transverse maculation distinct, but not con- 

 trasting or prominent, and uot marked by costal spots or blotclies. 

 Basal line reduced to a black mark on the median vein and sometimes 

 a small costal spot. Transverse anterior line nearly upright, with three 

 variably nuirked outcurves in the interspaces; single, black. Trans- 

 verse posterior line black, denticulate, as a whole outcurved, somewliat 

 retracted in the submedian interspace, followed by a yellowish shade 

 which, as a rule, is marked on the costa, but is rarely consjucuons 

 elsewhere in its course. Subterminal line pale, sinuate and irregularly 

 angulate or dentate, usually defined on both sides by a darker shade; 

 but this may be confined to a preceding shade, and may be entirely 

 absent. Terminal line black, broken into lunules, followed by a pale 

 or yellow line at the base of the usually immaculate fringes. The median 

 shade is blackish, nearly upright, very variably marked and sometimes 

 quite prominent. Orbicular reduced to a small yellow dot as a rule. 

 Reniform ycHow, large, somewhat delined, interiorly marked by the 

 median shade, and often with two small black dots marking the upper 

 and lower margins, forming the only prominent feature in the wing 

 maculation. Secondaries much paler, more grayish, and ai)i»earing 

 more thinly scaled; powdery, crossed by three transverse lines, of
