cosia stiiiii^lil, apex siilin'claiiiiiilar, outer edge iiol ven' ol)li(iue, veiy sliglitly 

 heiif oil t lie first median venule. Hind wings with the apex slightly jiro- 

 diiced, with (he out(;r ('x\gL' full, eoiivex, and distiuetly scalloped. The tore 

 wings in the female hav<' the outer edge more ohruiue, while the hind wings 

 are less convex on tiie outer edge. The venation is very different from (hat 

 of FidoHKt, justitying (he sejtaradon effected by Ledcrer fi-om that genus; there 

 are tiu( two sulicostal veiii.s. of equal length. The subcostal areole is long, 

 linear, curved. The costal vein unites with the subcostal in the middle of the 

 areole. The apical cell is unusually large. The anterior discal vein is curved 

 and directed inward toward the origin of the independent vein, while the 

 posterior discal is long and oblique, not curved. Hind legs short, with tibiae 

 slighdy swollen: spurs long; tarsi nearly as long as the tibiae. Coloration 

 brown: hind wings oehreous, with darkei- bands. 



While (his genus diifei's from FidcJiiia in (he more bushy, jilumose an- 

 tenna^ and fuller fron(. (liese charact<'rs would seem ardlicial, but a glance at 

 the venation shows (hat (lie separation is a natural one. Our E. Fa.ronii 

 differs very slightly from the European E. atoiudria, and the genus as thus 

 coiisli(u(ed is well circumscribed.

 darker. Male fore winus with flii-ee dark, diffuse, indistinct bands, the basal 

 curved, the middle and e\tradiscal much alike, and often converging on the 

 inner I'llge. Along tlie extradiscal line, tln^ wing is powdered more or less 

 distinctly with white scales, and again along the subniargiiial dark line. 

 Fringe concolorons with tlu' wing, lighter or darker as the wing varies in 

 hue. Hind wings didl orange or rcddish-ochreous, thickly speckled with 

 black, with three black bands, (he middle one distinctly scalloped, the points 

 ex(ende(l along (lie \eins. The outer line is merged with (he liroad brown 

 bordei- of (he wing. Beneath, both wings alike deep oehreous. and crossed 

 by three brown sliade> common to both wings, the outer one often ending in 

 (he midille of the wing near (he independent vein, and also nearly oljsolete 

 on the hind wings. Legs concolorons \\i(h the under side of the iiody.
