Notes on the Zepidojitera of America. 449 



A larger species than E. vinulentaria, nob., but resembling 

 that species in general color and style of markings. The clear 

 pale ochreous color of the wings above is not dusted with a 

 faint obscure purplish shade ; the subterminal ochreous shade 

 band again appears, below the apices of the primaries, over 

 the median nervules ; the transverse lines are more irregular, 

 distinctly geminate on both surfaces ; the external border of 

 secondaries is clear pale ochreous on both surfaces. E. vino- 

 saria ($) varies in the extent of the darker shades on external 

 border of primaries. 



Endropia textrinaria, n. s. 



(Plate 15A, fig. 6, $ .) 



$ . Head, thorax, and abdomen, pale ochreous, shaded with red- 

 dish on thorax above. A broad, dark, frontal line, before the 

 antennal insertion ; palpi, dark brownish. Antennae, finely bi- 

 pectinate ; the pectinations becoming obsolete at tips. 



Wings, broad ; anterior pair, produced at apices, and more pro- 

 minently so on external margin at extremity of second median 

 nervule. External margin of secondaries, prominently produced 

 and angulated centrally. Primaries, pale ochreous ; all the " veins " 

 are prominently marked with reddish scales. Basal space, pale 

 ochreous, but so thickly irrorate with reddish and brownish scale 

 streaks as to leave little of the ground color apparent. The red- 

 dish scales are aggregated along costa and form a shade coincident 

 with the dark, slightly irregular and diffuse transverse anterior 

 line. Median space, pale ochreous, coarsely irrorate with reddish 

 and dark scale streaks, narrow, constricted at the sub-median fold 

 by the approximation at this point of the median lines. A distinct, 

 black, discal dot situate on the discal cross vein. Transverse pos- 

 terior line, brownish, distinct, obliquely arcuate to sub-median fold, 

 thence running straightly to internal margin, succeeded by a coin- 

 cident reddish shade. Outside of the t. p. line, the external border 

 is stained with reddish brown and washed with purplish ; the dark 

 portions are finely irrorate with black scales, leaving the pale ochre-
