ii-i: Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 



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. 



Expanse, £, 1.50 inches. 



Habitat. — Colorado Territory (Mr. Jas. Ridings). 



Allied to the European E. tiliaria and E. angnlaria. Our 



specimen, though beautifully fresh, has the abdomen broken.

& . Head, dark ochraceous ; antennae, finely bipectinate, the 

 stem, above, ochraceous sprinkled with blackish. Thorax, ochra- 

 ceous, 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 

 yellowish ochreous, minutely speckled; a distinct, large, discal,
