New York (A. K. Grote). 



This species is easily known by its' unitbrm iawn-color, by tlu; two 

 spot.s on the inner margin forming a short band going to the third submediaii 

 nervule, and the v-shaped spot near the apex ; while the single diffuse line of 

 scales and the line on the hind wings bent at quite an angle in the middle will 

 also distinguish it. It is the smallest species known to us, while the palpi 

 are stouter than usual. A second male, received from Missouri througli Mr. 

 Riley, is the one figured on plate 13. The extradiscal line on the fore wings 

 is represented in the middle of the wing by two or three whitish venular 

 dots. It is (juite distinct from any of the varieties ot E. fiansceisata, in all 

 of which the line on the hind wings is distinct and straight.
