3 S and a ? .—Closely rosomhlcs E. scrratana m size and inarking.s; 

 Iho wiii!,r.s are however less scalloped, [hr. teeth in tiie hind winij between 

 the apex and middle of tliewinir Wmi; shorter and more ()l)tiise; the apex of 

 tin- fore wings is similarly acute. I'.ody and wings deep ochreous, much as 

 in E. amcBnnria, and wanting the dark hue on the outer l)order of the wing.s, 

 which is nearly as clear as tiie middle and base. Two fawn-brown lines on 

 the fore wings, tlic inner much curved, straight between the sui)costal and 

 median vein, and l)ent on the costa. Outer line curved, witii a tendency to 

 become d()ul)led in the middle in the male but simple in the female; shaded 

 outside diffusely with the same color as the line itself in the male l)ut not in 

 the female. Discal dots black, distinct on l)()th wings. Wings speckled 

 with black strigas; apex of fbre wings quite clear, with a dark oblique shade, 

 the outer border clear. In one female, there are two ratiier hvrge submarginal 

 l)lack spots in the middle of i)oth wings; and in one male a pale rust-red one in 

 the second median cell, and one on the hind wing larger and enveloping the 

 second median vein. Fringe darker than the rest of the wing. On the hind 

 wings the common line is duplicated on the hind edge, and again in the middle'; 

 a basal, diffuse, straight line is present. Beneath as above, but the lines are 

 (hirker and more distinct, and the fringe darker, and the striga; coarser 

 t han above. The hind tii)ia; swollen: legs concolorous with the body, speckled 

 with ])lack-brown. Palpi tipped with black scales beneath. 



Length of body, J, 0.75, 9, 0.60; of fore wing, <? , Til, 9, 0.77; 

 expanse of wings, 1.50-1.60 inches.

It may be known by the three well-marked teeth on the apical half of 

 the hind wings, the clear border, and clear dark lines beneath; otherwise it is 

 much like E. ejfedaria. The artist has wrongly put pectinated antenna? on the 

 figure of the female (tig. 18). The male is well represented by Dui)on-
