central nervule. The subcostal runs almost straight from 

 the base to the tip of the wing, giving off from the cell three 

 marginal branches, one near the middle of the wing, and two 

 near the end of the disk ; beyond the disk it sends another 

 branch to the costa, and before the tip becomes bifid, sending 

 one branch above and another below the tip. The median 

 subdivides into four branches, which are aggregated at their 

 origins, and, except the medio-posterior, are long. The sub- 

 median is furcate at its base. Hind-wings deeply emarginate 

 beneath the tip, which is abruptly produced, although short. 

 The discoidal cell is closed by a slight curved nervure, and 

 is without a disco-central nervule. The subcostal is bifid 

 from the discal nervure, and the median gives rise to a medio- 

 discal nervule, which curves much upward ; the last branch of 

 the median much removed from the two terminal branches, 

 which are approximated. 



Size small. Forehead rounded ; face rather narrow. Ocelli 

 none. Eyes round, moderately prominent. Antennae rather 

 thick, simple, and about one-half as long as the fore-wings ; 

 basal joint rather slender but short. Labial palpi cylindrical, 

 rather short, middle joint slightly thickened toward its ex- 

 tremity, at least one-half longer than the terminal joint, which 

 is somewhat roughened, but slender and pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi not perceptible. Tongue scaled at the base, short, not 

 as long as the labial palpi. 



This genus shows some resemblance in structure to Parasia, 

 but I think it is very distinct. 



E. apicitripunctella. Head, face and thorax ochreous. 

 Labial palpi ochreous internally, externally dark fuscous; 

 terminal joint with a fuscous ring at the base and tip, extreme 

 tip ochreous. Antennae dark fuscous, indistinctly annulated 

 with ochreous. Fore-wings brownish-ochreous, with three 

 oblique dark streaks from the costa to the middle of the wing, 

 bordered behind with very pale ochreous, the first near the 

 base, the second about the middle of the costa, the third near 

 the tip, with its pale-ochreous margin extended across the
