4 <f and 4 9 . — This is nearest allied to E.serratarla, but diflers in being 

 paler (or sometimes dark brown), whitish-ochreous, with the border of the 

 wings much palei', sometimes concolorous with the rest of the wings, and 

 the under side is pale, thickly spotted with brown specks. Antennae not so 

 heavily pectinated as in serrutarla. Head, body, and wings concolorous, 

 ■ whitish-ochreous. Fore wings clear at the base; an inner, curved, narrow, pale 

 fawn-brown line, often oljsolete; outer line oblique, much curved opposite 

 the discal dot, not confused with the sliade on the byrder of the wing, as in 

 serratarid, liut distinct, and bent at nearly right angles opposite the discal 

 dot, whence it goes to the costa; the line is in one specimen sinuate. Discal 

 dots in both wings black, large, and distinct. Border of both wings pale 

 fawn-brown, or coftee-(with milk-) color, or obsoletely so, being in one male 

 concolorous with the rest of the wing. A dark apical streak, with often 

 three rounded blackish spots or lunules in the three interspaces below. 

 Hind wings like the fore wings, with an inner faint line (often obsolete) 

 running near the discal dot, and the outer line darker than the brown portion 

 beyond, sometimes duplicated in the middle (when the part is not obsolete). 

 The male with the apex as acute if not more so than in serrataria ; middle 

 angle disposed to be more marked than in serrataria. Hind wings with 

 deeper notches, with four ])rojecting teeth. 



The females are a little more deeply angulated than in serrataria; teeth 

 arranged the same. The under side of the wings is much paler than in 

 serrataria, and uniforndy and densely speckled. Border of the wings but 

 a little darker (in some no darker) than the rest of the wing. Lines and
