both pairs. In Ihe European E. Iicrharia, the subcostal cell is closed, but in 



several specimens of our E. cliluiolcucdiiii it is open. The legs differ greatly 



in Ihe length of the tarsi in Ihe ditferent species, but tlie siiapc of the wings 



is very constant.

 deep gret^n. i'alpi and leas |)nle ochreous. Fore wings pale ochreous on the 

 costa ; two parallel, very distinct, whitish-ochreous lines, l)oth ciuved on the 

 costal region, much alike, and nearly parallel and both a little wavy. The 

 outer line continued on to the hind wing, and rather suddenly bent a 

 little outward in the middle of the wing, the similar line in chloroleucaria 

 licing straight. Tiie fringe on both wings is paler than the wings. Beneath 

 greenish, washed slightly with ochreous; costa of fore wings ochreous.

Waco, Texas, August 8-21 (Belfrage, iMus. Peab. Acad. Sc). 



This ex([uisite species differs from E. chloroleucaria, being less strigated 

 with white, and in the head l)eing green in front instead of reddish; in the 

 outer line being curved like the inner on the costal region instead of straight; 

 and in the single line on the hind wings being suddenly bent in the middle. 

 It is more nearly allied to the European //^r/w/Zw {\mn chloroleucaria. The 

 hind legs are as in rh/inolcuairia, however, witii a larye lirush of hairs: hind 

 tarsi half, as lony as the tibije.
