Larva. — Katliev slender compared witli larva of E. demntaria ; a sharp 

 (loryal tubercle on the Ihird tlioracie, riiiij; ; a liroad dorsal wart jusf: heliind 

 tlic middle of the body, and a lateral sharj) one in Ihi' middle ol' the body. 

 A dorsal liuiiip between tli'e two ]);iirs of abdominal I'cet. I'ody viohiceoiis, 

 transversi'ly striped with reddish. I'lipa jiale brown, spdtfcd with icddisii- 

 brown. Feeds on Cletlira alni folia. — ( Described and the larva (iiru red I'roin 

 xVbbot's MS. drawing.) 



I\rr. Emerton has tbund the larva in Salem, on the currant, at the end of 

 July; the moth appeared August 6. Mr. W. II. Patton reared the niolh 

 from the pupa (figured on plate 13) in New Haven, July 2G. I think thai 

 it also feeds on the red maple. 



P^'om an examination of M. Guenc'e's and Walker's types, I have Ijeen 

 led to arrive at the conclusions given in the synonymical table of this species. 

 Fig. 63 represents Guenee's transversala, 68 his gonlata (which is Dr.ury's 

 transversa fa). Walker's transposita is eipiivalent to Guenee's transversata ; 

 and his transversata is equal to Guenc'e's goniafa. The species of Walker 

 are based on individual variations of Drury's transver.sata.

 and still more diffuse than the basal line. Outer line straight, bent back at a 

 very acute angle on to the costa, the line above the i)eiid being more or less 

 angularly curved and dilated on the costa; an oblique white line extends
