88 LEPIDOPTERA. 



specimens seem to be possibly E. viygaurcata, var., but 

 smoother, and those in the late Mr. S. Stevens' collection are 

 ;i])parently the var. nrci'vfhntd of E. lulrrtimriri. This also is 

 the case with those iu Dr. Mason's collection ; and 1 feel no 

 doubt that Staudinger is right in referring egenaria to this 

 large variety of ^. Iiclirfirariu ; indeed this is confirmed by 

 reference to llerrich-Schafler's original figure. {E. cgoiatii, 

 /eller, appears to be a very different species, from North 

 America.) 



22. E. satyrata, /f/VJ.— Expanse f to -^ inch (18-23 

 mm.), h'ore wings very pale umbreous with numerous faint 

 brown rippled transverse lines, often having whiter fainter 

 lines between, nervures dotted with white and smoky black ;. 

 discal sjwt small, black. Hind wings whitish-brown. 



Antennic of the male simple, thickly ciliated, dull brown ;. 

 ]ialpi rather projecting, blunt, grey-brown ; head and thorax 

 ashy-brown ; abdomen of the same colour, with a faintly 

 white edge to each segment, and on the dorsal ridge a minute 

 raised grey-brown tuft ; anal tuft rather compressed. Fore 

 wings moderately broad, ashy-brown, all the markings faint ; 

 the basal and first lines very obscure, the latter double or 

 triple, most distinct on the costa, sometimes visible otherwise 

 but often only as a faint dot or two on the nervures ; discal 

 spot black but small and indistinct ; immediately beyond it 

 is a series of four faint slender parallel grey-brown lines, 

 edged outwardlj- with ashj--grey ; then a fifth which is more 

 dotted, and seems to represent the normal second line, and 

 is without the pale edging ; all these five are sinuous and 

 strongly bent back below the costa ; the subterminal line 

 only exists in detached whitish dots, one of which, above the 

 anal angle, is more distinct and whiter; cilia ashy-brown. 

 Often the only indication of the transverse lines is by 

 dots on the nervures. Hind wings rather broad ; very 

 pale greyish-brown, with a faint series of whitish commence- 

 ments of transverse lines down the dorsal mar<iiu ; central
