subcostals on a footstalk half beyond the cell ; discocellular outwardly-concave, 

 radial from its middle ; the middle median near end of cell, lower at nearly oue- 

 t]]ii-d. Body short; palpi porrect, projecting half beyond the head, broad, stoutly 

 pilose, tip pointed; antenna3 distinctly articulated, minutely pubescent in front; 

 legs very laxly scaled, hind tibias with two pairs of spurs. 



Type, E. reticulata. 



ETJSTROMA DISSECTA (Plate 207, Fig. 9, ? )• 



Forewing purplish ochreous-brown ; crossed by a slender ochreous-white 

 curved basal and antemedial line, an outwardly-curved medial line, which joins a discal 

 line above the posterior angle, a curved line from middle of the posterior margin, some 

 wavy submarginal lines with zigzag lower ends, and a curved upper marginal line ; 

 the lines thus disposed forming two basal bands, an upper and lower discal band, and 

 two narrow apical bands ; the basal bands being traversed by a pale-bordered darker 

 brown Kne, and the discal bands by brown ringlet markings : hindwing pale purplish- 

 ochreous, the base ochreous-white ; crossed by a discal slender ochreous-white line, 

 and submarginal lunules ; marginal line dark brown ; inner marginal broken line 

 and adjacent cilia ochreous-white. Body purplish ochreous-brown, with ochreous- 

 white segmental edges ; front of head, palpi, and legs ochreous-white ; side of palpi 

 and legs above brown speckled.

Forewing triangular ; costa arched at the base, apex pointed ; cell fully half the 

 length ; first subcostal at two-fifths before end of cell, second close to end, joined to 

 first for a short distance, trifid, fifth from end of cell, touching second beyond its 

 juncture with the first; discocellular outwardly-concave, radial from the middle; 

 the middle median close to end of cell, lower at one-third : hindwing with apex and 

 exterior margin convex ; cell fully half the length ; subcostal joined to costal from 

 near base to near end of cell; two subcostals at one-third beyond the cell; 

 discocellular bent above and below the middle, radial from lower angle; middle 

 median near end of cell, lower at one-third. Body slender, anal tuft lax; palpi 

 porrect, stout, projecting a little beyond the head, hirsute beneath, third joint short, 

 pointed ; antenna3 subserrated, biciliated ; legs moderately slender, long, squamous, 

 middle and hind tibial spurs long.
