aniliaria (H. S.)> from Venezuela, but is at once distinguished 

 by the shape of the external margin of the secondaries. A 

 specimen of E. arefactaria, had been forwarded to Mr. Walker 

 for comparison, who regarded it as a distinct species allied to 

 the Floridian E. astylusaria, Walk., a species unknown to us. 



Endropia vimilentaria, n. s. 



(Plate 15A, fig. 5 j $ .) 



S . Head, thorax, and abdomen, pale ochreous ; antennae, finely 

 bipectinate, the pectinations obsolete at tips. Wings, pale ochre- 

 ous, evenly and improminently irrorate with darker scales than the 

 ground color ; outside of the transverse posterior and median lines, 

 the entire terminal spaces are darker than the wings within them, 

 being of an even purplish dove color. Primaries, pointedly pro- 

 duced at apices ; external margin, rounded outwardly to internal 

 angle, being roundedly produced medially without any prominent 

 angulation. Secondaries, obliquely depressed at apices, below 

 w T hich is a wide and shallow excavation. Anterior wings, evenly 

 pale ochreous from base to transverse posterior line, evenly dusted 

 with pale purplish scales, which become obsolete before the t. p. 

 line, leaving a narrow space clearer pale ochreous. A brown, out- 

 wardly arcuate, irregular, transverse anterior line, slightly pro- 

 jected on median nervure. All the " veins," on either wing, are 

 obsoletely brought into relief by darker scales. Transverse poste- 

 rior line, brown, evenly and obliquely arcuated, succeeded by a 

 bright brown coincident shade, this latter color obtaining along 

 costa to apex. An obsolete discal dot on the cross vein. Outside 

 of the transverse posterior line, the wing is darker than elsewhere, 

 evenly washed and shaded with pale purplish dove color. A dis- 

 tinctly defined pale ochreous apical mark. Secondaries, resembling 

 primaries in color and appearance ; within the distinct median line 

 pale ochreous, irrorate w T ith darker scales. An inner transverse 

 shade line, composed of aggregated dark atoms ; a distinct black 

 discal dot. Median line resembling the t. p. line of primaries in 

 color and conformation, but not corresponding with that line, since,
