ffi verruculata differs from (E. cequalis in the follow- 

 ing particulars : in (E. cequalis the black band across 

 the middle of the wings is broad, its outer edge as well 

 as the inner distinct, the outer border at first straight, 

 then well rounded, curving inwards where it approaches 

 the outer border ; beyond the band the wing is pellucid, 

 with black veins, not cloudy, and at the tip there is either 

 a dusky patch or irregularly clustered square blackish spots. 

 In (E. verruculata the inner border of the band is more wavy 

 and is illy defined ; the outer border is straight, and where 

 it approaches the outer border of the wing, is turned slight- 

 ly outwards instead of inwards, and is frequently very in- 

 distinct, being merged into the more or less dusky space 

 beyond it, which increases in cloudiness to the tip, where 

 it is as dark as the band. The band itself is quite narrow 

 in the middle, so that it might be said to be made up of 

 two triangular patches which meet and merge in the mid- 

 dle. The broadest band I have seen in (E. verrucu- 

 lata, is not more than half the width of the narrowest in 

 (E. cequalis. In (E. cequalis the hind tibiae are either wholly
