14 Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 
black dot. Terminal'and sub-terminal spaces, shaded with reddish 
or ferruginous, sparsely speckled with black scales. Sub-terminal 
band, interrupted, broad, irregular, whitish ochreous, speckled with 
black scales, forming a distinet apical pale and broad mark, becom- 
ing obsolete at just before internal angle. Posterior wings resem- 
bling anterior ; terminal space, outside of the median line, becoming 
diffusedly ochraceous inferiorly and over anal angle, ferruginous or 
reddish superiorly and along the median line. Median line, dark 
reddish, ferruginous, strongly marked and straight, resembling the 
transverse posterior line of primaries in appearance and color, but 
not strictly corresponding to it, since, when the wings are expanded, 
it does not match that of the primaries, or run continuous with it, 
but arises at a point on the costa of secondaries which is removed 
farther outwardly than the termination of the transverse posterior 
line of primaries on internal margin. Disecal dot black, smaller 
than on anterior wings. A second, less distinct, inner transverse 
shade line, corresponding to the transverse anterior line of prima- 
ries and accompanied by rather numerous black speckles. The 
secondaries are almost entirely speckled with black, but more 
prominently so basally and along external margin, the dark space 
contiguous and outside of the median line being partially free from 
speckles. The median line is shortly geminate opposite the dis- 
cal cell; this is more prominent beneath. Under surface, resem- 
bling but brighter than upper, paler, more prominently irrorate 
and with clusters of black speckles at base of both wings; discal 
dots distinct ; secondaries entirely pale ochreous, except the trans- 
verse bands, which are more distinct than above. The transverse 
posterior line of primaries is followed by a broad reddish shade 
band, limited externally by the sub-terminal pale ochreous shade 
and by an undulating sub-obsolete series of black dots. 
Hxpanse, 2,1.50 inch. Length of body, 0.70 inch. 
Fflabitat.—Atlantic District. (Penn. to Maryland. !) 
We have seen the female of this species, which resembles 
the male and is larger, but have no longer specimens before 
us, In size and general appearance this species resembles E.
