16 Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 
when the wings are expanded, it is seen to arise from a point on 
the costa of secondaries further removed outwardly than the point 
of termination of the latter line on internal margin of primaries. 
External margin, entirely and evenly darker colored than within the 
median line, similarly colored with the terminal spaces of prima- 
ries, and without any paler maculations or shadings. External 
edges of both wings dark. Under surface, clear pale ochreous, 
thickly irrorate with brown scales; the “veins” marked with 
brownish. Inner common lines composed of aggregated brown 
atoms, more distinctly marked on primaries. Distinct black discal 
dots. The transverse posterior line is S-shaped on primaries, dark 
brown and geminate centrally, since an even oblique narrow 
line leaves it below costa at its outward inflection, and connects 
with it again at its inward inflection at a point on the interspace 
between 3d and 4th m.nervules. Outside of the t. p. line, the 
external margin is dark colored as on upper surface, leaving a dis- 
tinct apical mark pale ochreous. Secondaries, clear pale ochreous ; 
a median S-shaped brown line corresponding to the t. p. line of 
primaries and geminate, since it is crossed at right angles by an 
even oblique narrow brown line, commencing on costa nearer 
the apex than the median line, which it crosses and again meets 
and is fused with below 3d m. nervule. Outside of median line, 
the wing is clear pale ochreous, not corresponding to the dark ter- 
minal space of the upper surface and to both surfaces of primaries. 
External margin edged with dark brown. 
Expanse, &,1.20 inch. Length of body, 0.50. 
Habitat.—Atiantic District. (New York State !) 
Of the size of E. amoenaria, Guenee, but differently and 
paler colored ; the apices are less produced than in Guenée’s 
representation of that species; there is no dark subterminal 
line with inferior pale spots annulated with black. The orna- 
mentation of this species recalls that of Hyperitis amicaria, 
Guenee.
