Notes on the Zepidqptera of America. 447 



when the wings are expanded, it is seen to arise from a point on 

 the costa of secondaries further removed outwardly than the point 

 of termination of the latter line on internal margin of primaries. 

 External margin, entirely and evenly darker colored than within the 

 median line, similarly colored with the terminal spaces of prima- 

 ries, and without any paler maculations or shadings. External 

 edges of both wings dark. Under surface, clear pale oehreous, 

 thickly irrorate with brown scales; the "veins" marked with 

 brownish. Inner common lines composed of aggregated brown 

 atoms, more distinctly marked on primaries. Distinct black discal 

 dots. The transverse posterior line is S-shaped on primaries, dark 

 brown and geminate centrally, since an even oblique narrow 

 line leaves it below costa at its outward inflection, and connects 

 with it again at its inward inflection at a point on the interspace 

 between 3d and 4th m. nervules. Outside of the t p. line, the 

 external margin is dark colored as on upper surface, leaving a dis- 

 tinct apical mark pale oehreous. Secondaries, clear pale oehreous ; 

 a median S-shaped brown line corresponding to the t. p. line of 

 primaries and geminate, since it is crossed at right angles by an 

 even oblique narrow brown line, commencing on costa nearer 

 the apex than the median line, which it crosses and again meets 

 and is fused with below 3d m. nervule. Outside of median line, 

 the wing is clear pale oehreous, not corresponding to the dark ter- 

 minal space of the upper surface and to both surfaces of primaries. 

 External margin edged with dark brown.

Of the size of E. amoenaria, Guenee, but differently and 

 paler colored ; the apices are less produced than in Guenee's 

 representation of that species ; there is no dark subterminal 

 line with inferior pale spots annulated with black. The orna- 

 mentation of this species recalls that of Hyperitis amicaria, 

 Guenee.
