Palpi reddish rusty ocher, erect, surpassing head ; end member quite short hut 

 distinct. Maxillary palpi with end members pineapple-shaped, equal in size, not very 

 long haired. Fore wings rusty-ochreous. Interior line double, arcuate, rusty-brown ; 

 basal space ochery. A costal dark dot surmounting a faint concolorous-ringed discal 

 mark ; median field light stone-gray ; median shade visible as a patch of dark, 

 slightly raised scales. Posterior line rusty, double, inclosing a whitish shade, most 

 ilistinct on costa, of the usual shape. Subterminally the wing is brown, washed with 

 gray on external margni. A fine, terminal, dark line on both wmgs. Hind wings 

 yellowish-gray, with a fine, denticulate, exterior line. Beneath ochreous ; costa at 

 base brown. Head and apjiendages ochreous ; beneath, the fore and middle tibi;^ 

 are purplish ; hind legs dotted with brown. 



Te.x., Colo. I have speciiiiens from Texas taken in July and others 

 taken in September, so that the species is probably double brooded.

 Practically the same as Epipaschia except that the maxillary palpi in the males 

 are pencillate tufted. There is also a decided shortening of the antennal process in 

 the species. There is moreover no tendency to furcation in vein i of the fore wings, 

 the vein being nearly straight to the base and thus not showing the tendency to fur- 

 cation which is evident in a decided bending of the vein at base.
