curved; wing sli.uled brjoiid with lawny; a submarginal row oi" pale, 

 irregular spots, often oltsolete, connecting with a pale, apical, oblique streak 

 (soniefinics not ])resen1); wings beyond the outer line tawny-brown, more 

 or less mottled with ))aler patches, and with a tew scattered black scales. 

 Hind wings with sometimes a tiiint, difluse, inner line; outer line merged in 

 with the darker border of the wing, faintly doubled, the inclosure being 

 rather small; discal dots l)lack, a little larger and more distinct on the hind 

 wings than on the tore wings. Beneath, pale ochreous, both wings uniformly 

 mottled all over; the outer border of the wings l)eing the same as within; 

 no inner line; the common outer line very distinct tawny-brown, curved as 

 ai)ov(' and on the hind wings doubled in the middle, and sometiriies shaded 

 beyond irregularly with tawny; discal dots indistinct. Hind til)ia? swollen; 

 legs pale, mottled sparingly with dark.

It is easily known by the large non-serrate wings, its large size, and 

 pale ochreous color, with the submarginal row of pale spots, and nearly 

 entire hind wings. The outer line on the fore wings of the female is straighter 

 than in the male. 



It ditl'ers from E. cfl'ectaria Walk, in the outer edge of the litre wings 

 being entire, and the hind jiair being tridentate instead of seven-toothed, 

 witli no teeth behind the middle of the wing. The outer third of the wing 

 is fuscous, tlie outer line being merged into this part and not so distinct 

 nor d(>id)led, as in E. effect arlti. '^I'he l)asal line on the hind wings is much 

 shorter and broader and is more diffuse. The antennjv and legs are darker 

 than in that species, though the head and palpi are of nearly the same tint.
