Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 13 
purely ochreous shade along external margin before anal angle. 
The whole surface is sparsely irrorate; a faint median line crosses 
the wings, corresponding to the transverse line of primaries, but 
much weaker and fainter, composed of aggregated brown scales 
and becoming more distinct and linear before internal margin. 
Under surface, whitish ochreous, deeper stained along costal region 
of primaries and over the secondaries, coarsely and sparsely irro- 
rate with brown scales. The transverse bands of the upper surface 
are here reflected. 
Epanse, 2, 1.50 inches. 
Habitat.—Colorado Territory (Mr. Jas. Ridings). 
Allied to the European E. tiliaria and E. angularia. Our 
specimen, though beautifully fresh, has the abdomen broken.

é. Head, dark ochraceous; antennae, finely bipectinate, the 
stem, above, ochraceous sprinkled with blackish. Thorax, ochra- 
eeous, with black dots on the disc. Abdomen, ochraceous, a little 
longer than internal margin of secondaries. Beneath, the body 
parts and legs are ochraceous, more or less speckled with black. 
Wings, ochraceous, with reddish or ferruginous external shades. 
Anterior wings with the apices produced and pointed; external 
margin angulated at above the middle, where it is produced a little 
beyond the apex. Secondaries twice broadly excavate superiorly : 
first, at apices, obliquely and shallowly; secondly, immediately 
below the first excavation, more deeply and prominently. Prima- 
ries, yellowish ochreous; median space, paler. Basal space, pale 
ferruginous ochreous, speckled with black scales, especially at 
costal base. Median lines, dark reddish ferruginous; transverse 
anterior, sub arcuate, slightly projected superiorly ; transverse 
posterior, broad, evenly obliquely arcuate. Median space, pale
