Easilv recognized bv the position of the brands,^ 
TypJ.—No. 6012, U.S.N.M. 
' These brands consist of a blackish thickening along vein 1 from center to near 
base, and on both sides of vein 2 at its base, outward about one-fifth its length. 
They are thus horizontal and parallel; not strongly defined. The same structure is 
indicated in E. astiga Schaus, but weakly and supplemented by a faint dot of blackish 
on the submedian fold. In E. ai^ema Mabille, an oblique shade joins all these ele- 
ments producing the usual oblique brand. — Harrison G. Dyar.
