double anterior and single posterior dentate transverse lines; the maculae are encircled and pupilled in black, 
the space between being blackened; undulate line indistinctly dentate. Hindwing dull brown with a darker 
cliscal spot and a similar transverse line behind it. Colorado. 
E. obesula 8m. (6 a). Dark yellowish-grey, dusted darker, the transverse lines traceable by dots oil obesula. 
the veins, the maculae blurred, dark; before the undulate line being likewise dotted a dark spot at the costal 
margin; the marginal area somewhat darkened. Hindwing white. From Montana and Texas. 
E. siccata 8m. (6 b) is a smaller, brownish-grey species with single indistinct transverse lines, small, siccata. 
blurred, blackish maculae and a lighter undulate line; on the margin a series of black dots. Hindwing white,

E. wilsoni Grt. (4 h) has narrower forewings than the preceding. Greyish-brown, of a more or less wilsoni. 
red-brown tint, the anterior transverse line indistinct, the posterior line being absent. Maculae grey, encircled 
with black or not, the ring-macula obliquely elliptical with a produced lower end; behind the light undulate 
line dusted darker. Hindvving greyish-brown, towards the margin darkened with white fringes. A most variable

E. riversi Currie is very closely allied to wilsonii (4 h) and may not be a different species. It is light, rivers!.

very variable species, the various synonyma of which were even placed in different genera. The ground-colour 
changes from a yellowish white, ochreous yellow, greyish-brown to reddish-brown, invariably with a lighter 
costal-marginal stripe; forewing with a black basal ray, mostly indistinct transverse lines, and the three maculae; 
the two upper ones sometimes in a darker, sometimes in an equally coloured ground, encircled with black, 
the ring-macula V-shaped, above open, the reniform macula in the centre somewhat strangulated; before the 
undulate line with black sagittae, behind it dusted darker. Hindwing white with brownish veins and margin.

E. brevipennis 8m. (6 a) has greyish-brown forewings dusted blackish brown in the cell and marginal brevipennis. 
area, with a lighter costal-marginal streak and median; only the anterior transverse line is indistinctly double, 
the posterior one being entirely absent; the maculae are ringed lighter, encircled with black, the ring-macula 
very obliquely elliptical, above open; undulate line below the middle with 2 pointed teeth and darker shading 
below the costal margin. Hindwing white, veins and margin brownish. Colorado, California. — ab. anguilirena anguilirena. 
Sm. with a more slender, smaller body and broader wings has the reniform macula prolonged like a pointed 
tooth on the median proximally as far as the ring-macula. Colorado. — In f. brevistriga Sm. both the transverse brevistriga. 
lines are absent, and the marginal area is distinctly defined by a dark smoky brown; at the base of the subcosta 
there is a short, black stripe. Colorado. 
E. cicatricosa Grt. & R. (= teplia Sm.) (4h). Forewing greyish-brown with a white subcostal streak, cicatricosa. 
yellowish maculae and a long, yellowish diffuse spot below the lower median vein as far as the undulate line; 
also the area between this and the postmedian is yellowish-white like the upper median and lower radial veins. 
The anterior transverse line is absent, the posterior line being traceable by black sagittae. Hindwing white, 
veins and margin brownish. — recula Harv. (4 i) lias a darker gronnd-colonr, black mixed with brown, whereas recula. 
neomexicana 8m. (4 i) exhibits a reddish sand-coloured yellow colouring with more whitish maculae. Widely neomcxica-

more or less white; the anterior transverse lines are double, the posterior one being single, dentate, the undulate 
line only traceable by the dark marginal area; in the black cell there is the oblong, oblique, yellowish ring- 
macula being ringed white and encircled with black, and the similarly coloured reniform macula. Hindwing
