Fig. jj. — Hind wing ought to have the first discal branch dotted through 



the wing. 

 Fig. 41. — E. cuncolorcUa does not agree with mounted specimens so 



labeled (improperly ?). 

 Fig. 42. — Should have the apical branch near to the subcostal and a 



dotted indistinct median branch in place of the distinct one 



which should be nearer to the subcostal. 

 Fig. 4 J. — Discal branch of wings ought to be furcate. 

 Fig. 4§. — Hind wing instead of five marginal should have four, one c>{ 



them furcate. 

 Fig. 54. — (3mits furcation of apical branch of fore wings. 

 Fig. 53". — Should have one more submedian branch in fore wings. 

 Fig. j6. — Not strictly accurate. Hind wing has the discal branch much 



too distinct. 

 Fig. 57. — Fore wings should be caudate and the subcostal ought to be 



bent down to the median instead of vice versa.
