;i sul)in;irgii]a], zigzag, brown line, and marginal row of intervenular linear 



spots on the submedian space and inner edge ; five lines only extending as far 



as tlie median vein. Beneath, the dusky discal dot and hand and submarginal 



white line is distinct; wings checkered on the costa, with a submarginal 



dusky band ; a marginal row of intervenular linear spots, and a dusky spot on 



the fringe opposite the end of each venule; hind wings with five well-marked 



lines, two beyond tlie discal dot.

It is allied to E. 7niserulata, but the wings are more russet-l)rown, and 

 the lines are more distinct ; the extra-discal line is curved farther from the 

 costa, and the lines on the hind wings are much more distinct. It seems to be 

 tlie most common species in California, as abundant as our E. mhcndata. 

 The submarginal line sliould l)e represented on the plate as waved.

2 <?. — Palpi very long, nmch longer than in an undescribed species closely 

 allied to this; extending by a distance beyond the head greater than the length 

 of the latter; third joint long and slender, acute. Fore wings long, the apex 

 produced, but elongated; outer edge very oblique; hind wings more pointed 

 toward the apex than usual. The moth is much of the form of rotuwlo- 

 punctaUi., but nearly Iwico as large, while the hind wings are more acute. 

 The cohn- and markin^rs are much as in that s|)ecies. The fore winjj is 

 crossed by about ten wavy black lines, but two douldc dark lines (sending a 

 slender point out into the discal space), situated half-way l)etween the base 

 of the wing and the extradiscal prominent wavy line, are the most prominent 

 lines. This last line is bent sliarply Ijclow the costa, and is followed by a clear 

 space. Half-way between tlie clear space and the edge of the wing is a sub- 

 marginal row of white dots, with a large V-shaped spot on the inner angle. 

 A marginal inlerrupted black line. Fringe jmle-ash, checkered distinctly. 

 Hind wings with four well-marked wavy black lines, and a submarginal row 

 of while spots. Discal dots much suiallcr, more linear than in rotundo- 

 jmnctata; larger on (he under side of the wings. Beneath l)olh winirs paler 

 than above, wi(h an intra- and extra-discal l)road blackish l)an(l, and on the 

 fore wings the niai-iiin of the wing is broadlv shaded with blackish. On the
