Tliis ver}' pretty species differs fi^om E. mndiisdiid, or trom E. iiuirgiiiafa, 

 in the niiifoian chocolate-color, which is not broken by paler patches and 

 spots. The form of the wings is exactly as in Fj. iii(i(his(iri<(. It also dilfers 

 in the extradiscal line being simple in lioth wiuirs, not doubled as in 

 E. madusar/d.

 the broader wings, the rather shorter body, the tip of the aixlomen not reach- 

 ing to the anal angle of the hind winus. in the much shorter pal|)i, and in 

 the peculiar arrangement of the two lin<'s on the fore wings, th(! hind wings 

 being caudate rather than scalloped. Body and wings pale oehreoiis; front 

 concolorous on the lower two-thirds, al)ove daik brown ; vertex like the rest 

 of the body. Antennfe pectinated l)roadly to ntnir the tip. Wings densely 

 mottled and strigated with l)rownish-oeher, giving a somewhat (dieekered 

 a|)pearance to the clearer p(jrtions. Veins ochreous-brown. An inner, 

 curved, pale-brown line, bent outward on the sidjmedian vein, and meeting 

 the outer line, which either runs very near, or, it remote, throws out a con- 

 necting streak, in the tbrmer case forming an oval, with the end resting on
