fawn, striated; t.p. lines quite distinct, qiiiie straight on f(>re win^js, apical white 

 crescent distinct as above.

23. Endropia occantaria sp. nov. E.xpands 46 mm. Head, thorax, ab- 

 domen, and wings of a light clay fawn color, the median space being somewhat 

 lighter. A fanit lilaceous tinge over the wings a little more apparent beyond t.p. 

 line. Fine scattered stria tions of dark fawn over the wings. A blurred submarginal 

 clouding, obsolete near middle. A whitish apical spot. Lines fine, reddish, some- 

 what rounded. Wings broader than usual, dentate at the end of each vein. Beneath, 

 color a little lighter. Striations and t.p. lines more pronounced. Some orange ochre- 

 ous shadings present. 



2 9 Nev. : Coll. Graef, Tepper. Appearently nearest E. bilinearia. 

 Pack., of which it may be a distant vafiety. 



24. Endropia decoloraria sp. nov. E.xpands 28 mm. Head, body and ground 

 color of wings fawn brown, with a faint lilaceous shade. Wings with a dark brown 

 e.xtra median band. This band is strongly sinuous, having especially a large sinus 

 outward, just beyond discal space. Within this band some coarse ochreous striations 

 forming somewhat of a band, also a narrow indistinct submarginal band of the same 

 color formed in the same way. Fore wings nearly rectangular at apex with dark 

 brown edge beneath apex, outer margin sinuous, not dentate nor angulate, swollen 

 out at middle and somewhat bent inwardly close to outer angle, where there is a 



'small spot of dark brown. Hind wings obtusely dentate with large double tooth near 

 middle, and another single tooth near outer angle, with a deep sinus between. 

 Beneath as above, without the darker bands and spots. 



2 (^ Coll. Graef and Tepper. No locality with either specimen. 



This is nearest the insect represented by Dr. Packard as a var, 

 of End. annataria H. Sch. (Geom. Moths, p. 511, Plate XII, f. 20.) 

 Dr. Packard speaks of the wings being the same as in armataria though 

 not so represented in the figure, and there they are not so diverse as in 

 decolorcu-ia . It differs from armalarid in the entire diflerence of color of 

 wings and shape of bands above and below, has no suggestion of the very 

 marked and brilliant appearance *j{ armataria below, and there is an en- 

 tire difference in the shape of both wings. 



25. Endropia lentaria sp. nov. Expands 32 mm. Palpi dark drab. Antennre 

 and abdomen drab. Thorax and wings to t.p. line reddish ochreous. Beyond, the 

 color varies from cinereous to dark brown. T.p. line on both wings, nearly straight 

 on front wings reaching costa considerably within apex, reddish brown, edged out- 

 wardly with a narrow while line. Fringes dark brown. T.a. line faintly evident on 

 fore wings. Discal spots distinct, annulate on fore wings, faint on hind wings. 

 Beneath a dull reddish brown irrorrated with dark brown, much darker beyond t.p. 

 line. The lines are faintly evident, discal spots distinct. All wings rounded without 

 angles or dentations.

26. Endropia manubiaria sp. nov. Expands 44 mm. Very much as m E. 

 svrraiaria Dru., but with a single angle to each wing with the space beyond the t.p.
