the interspaces beyond the disc. Base, largely black. Ter- 

 minally the wing is black, shading to brownish at the apical 

 interspaces and along external margin. Transverse lines 

 obsolete. 



Secondaries, yellow at base and along internal margin, with 

 very broad, black, terminal borders. Under surface of prima- 

 ries, rather pale brown, suffused with a much darker terminal 

 shade and showing an indistinct, darker, subterminal line, 

 slightly arcuate and dentate between the nervules. Seconda- 

 ries with the base more greyish, otherwise resembling their 

 upper surfaces in coloration. 



The caputal, thoracic, and abdominal parts are quite similar 

 to those of E. rimosa Grote, which latter forms, with E. con- 

 gratulans, a group in the genus, characterized by the elevated, 

 square, thoracic parts, which are but slightly advanced before 

 the insertion of the primaries. 



Expanse (female), 3.30 inches. Length of body, 1.60 inches.

Size of E. cenotras and E. melancholica, as the female of 

 which latter species I have hitherto regarded it. Mr. Gundlach 

 sends a second female specimen, and states, that the male differs 

 by having a longitudinal streak of darker cinereous scales on 

 the primaries above, and in that the tegulse are blackish with 

 whitish external margins. The female has dark grey tegulse, 

 with very faint indications of the whitish borders. Anterior 

 wings, pale cinereous, with very confused darker streaks and 

 shades. An extremely irregular, narrow, dark, sub-basal line 

 can be detected. An oblique, dark, costal shade, at about the 

 middle of the wing, stretching to the sub-terminal dentate line, 

 which it joins at the medio-central interspace and where it is 

 more prominent and darker. A second, dark, costal shade at the
