 patch; at extreme inner angle a short dash of blackish scales; from 

 middle of costa, curving down to end of cell and again upward to 

 apex, a moderately broad irregularly crescent-shaped brown mark- 

 ing, more or less suffused with black; along costa several obscure, 

 small fuscous dashes, most noticeable on apical half; cilia concolor- 

 ous with ground color of wing. Hind wing pale smoky fuscous 

 with faint, wavy, darker mottlings ; cilia concolorous with the faint- 

 est indication of a dark basal band.

Described from male type and 6 male paratypes from San Diego, 

 California (type and 3 of the paratypes labeled "W. S. Wright" 

 and dated " 11-14-11," " 11-20-11," and " 11-21-11 ") ; 1 male and 

 1 female paratype from Reno, Nevada (H. G. Dyar, Sept. 20 to 25, 

 1915) and 2 male paratypes from Prescott, Arizona ("Oct. 1-7"). 



A distinct species easily recognized, as it is the only Epinotia with- 

 out costal fold, possessing a curved marking on fore wing from mid 

 costa to apex. The termen of fore wing is straight and slanting and 

 veins 3, 4, and 5 are not approximate at termen.
