 ish ; marginal line blackish: fringes white, with blackish scales intermixed; 

 beneath lighter and more clear in color than above, the fore wings powdered with 

 black apically and submarginally, and the hind wings over the whole surface ; 

 discal spots clear, distinct. 



Austin, Texas. Very near in the shape and character of mark- 

 ings, so far as they are apparent, to E. perirrorata Pack. 



E. pallida n. sp. — Expands 18 mm. Palpi and front jet black ; thorax 

 sordid gray. Abdomen gray at base, ochreous posteriorly, with a jet black lateral 

 longitudinal dash on third and fourth segments ; antennae with fascicles of hairs 

 in % ; all wings whitish, pretty generally sprinkled over with fuscous scales, 

 giving a general dull whitish appearance ; fore wings with a broken, indefinite 

 black basal line, another extra-discal. more distinct, but yet broken, rounding at 

 discal spot, irregular, extending within discal spot rather evenly, and more dis- 

 tinct across hind wings : an outer black line, broken, very irregular and indefi- 

 nite, continued clearly and sharply across hind wings, where it is irregularly and 

 deeply dentate ; marginal line of black spots largely obsolete ; discal spots black ; 

 beneath as above, the lines more indistinct and costa dark fuscous. 



Blanco County, Texas. 



E. aiistralis n. sp. — Expands 26 mm. Palpi fuscous ocher ; front black ; 

 thorax and abdomen ocher ; all wings ocher, sligbtly washed with fuscous, and 

 with scattered fuscous scales ; on the fore wings the fuscous is slightly deepened, 

 giving faint indications of an extra-discal and outer waved cross-lines, which are

 beneath as above, slightly lighter in color, with the lines more even and a little 

 more distinct. 



Florida, from Mr. E. L. Graef. 



15. EMMILTIS Hiib. 



Verz. 309, 1818. 



Type pygmsearia Hiib. 

 Anihometria Bois., Index Meth. 231, 1840, type plnmidaria Bois. 



Palpi moderate, front smooth, or somewhat tufted ; antennse bi- 

 pectinate in S ; hind tibite of % not swollen, without hair pencil, 

 with end spurs only; of 9 with end spurs only; fore wings 12 

 veins, 10 from 9, 11 from cell ; hind wings 8 veins, 6 and 7 stemmed. 



I do not know that the typical genus Sterrha is represented in the 

 United States. It differs from Emmiltis in having simple antennse 

 in % . I have only the 9 of Jioridata, and it is possible the % may 

 show it to belong to Sterrha.
