aniliaria (ZZ. S.), from Venezuela, but is at once distinguished 
by the shape of the external margin of the secondaries. A 
specimen of E. arefactaria, had been forwarded to Mr. Walker 
for comparison, who regarded it as a distinct species allied to 
the Floridian E. astylusaria, Wadk., a species unknown to us. 
Endropia vinulentaria, n. s. 
(Plate 154A, fig. 5, ¢ .) 
é. Head, thorax, and abdomen, pale ochreous; antennae, finely 
bipectinate, the pectinations obsolete at tips. Wings, pale ochre- 
ous, evenly and improminently irrorate with darker scales than the 
ground color; outside of the transverse posterior and median lines, 
the entire terminal spaces are darker than the wings within them, 
being of an even purplish dove color. Primaries, pointedly pro- 
duced at apices; external margin, rounded outwardly to internal 
angle, being roundedly produced medially without any prominent 
angulation. Secondaries, obliquely depressed at apices, below 
which is a wide and shallow excavation. Anterior wings, evenly 
pale ochreous from base to transverse posterior line, evenly dusted 
with pale purplish scales, which become obsolete before the t. p. 
line, leaving a narrow space clearer pale ochreous. A brown, out- 
wardly arcuate, irregular, transverse anterior line, slightly pro- 
jected on median nervure. All the “ veins,” on either wing, are 
obsoletely brought into relief by darker scales. Transverse poste- 
rior line, brown, evenly and obliquely arcuated, succeeded by a 
bright brown coincident shade, this latter color obtaining along 
costa to apex. An obsolete discal dot on the cross vein. Outside 
of the transverse posterior line, the wing is darker than elsewhere, 
evenly washed and shaded with pale purplish dove color. A dis- 
tinctly defined pale ochreous apical mark. Secondaries, resembling 
primaries in color and appearance ; within the distinct median line 
pale ochreous, irrorate with darker scales. An inner transverse 
shade line, composed of aggregated dark atoms; a distinct black 
discal dot. Median line resembling the t. p. line of primaries in 
color and conformation, but not corresponding with that line, since,
