Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 17 
Endropia vinosaria, m. s. 
(Plate 15A, fig. 4, ¢ .) 
&. Head, thorax, and abdomen, clear pale ochreous; antennae 
finely bi-pectinate ; pectinations obsolete at tips. 
Anterior wings, clear pale ochreous, irrorate with brownish 
scales. Transverse anterior line, brownish, irregular, inwardly 
excavate between costal and median nervures, projected superiorly, 
All the “veins” brought into relief by brownish scales. Discal 
dot, obsolete. Median space, clear pale ochreous. Transverse 
posterior line, irregular and geminate, since, opposite the disc, its 
outward projection is accompanied, within, by a second brown line, 
which runs more straightly obliquely and at variance with it at this 
place, leaving a pale ochreous space between the lines; above and 
below this the lines are fused. Outside of the t. p. line, the wing 
is washed with purplish brown, leaving a pale ochreous subterminal 
shade, which is broad and interrupted, being strongly marked at 
apex and again over the median nervules, and becoming obsolete 
towards internal margin. Secondaries, wholly pale ochreous; all 
the “veins” marked with brownish scales; coarsely irrorate with 
brown scales. An internal transverse line composed of aggregated 
brown irrorations, and, owing to the inward inflection of the t. p. 
line of primaries, appearing as if continuous and corresponding to 
the latter line. A distinct dark discal dot. Median line, distinctly 
geminate, since it is crossed below costa by a second, similar, but 
less distinctly marked line, which latter arises on costa contiguous 
to, but within the median line proper, beyond which it is out- 
wardly projected over the nervules, becoming fused with the 
median line again before internal margin. Apices, touched with 
brownish; external margin, distinctly edged with dark brownish. 
Under surface, more coarsely irrorate, but in color and the course 
of the transverse lines, resembling upper, so as to render a detailed 
description unnecessary. 
Expanse, 8, 1.30 to 1.50 inch. Length of body, 0.50 to 0.60 
inch,
