marginal band. This apparently rather variable species originates from California. 
fcniseca. E. feniseca Harv. (6 c) is similarly marked, but larger, and of a more ochreous-brown ground-colour, 
with large maculae surrounded by blackish. Hindwing white with brown veins and marginal line, in the $ 
quite brown. Colorado, California. 
conjuncta. E. conjuncta Sm. (6 e) resembles feniseca, but both the transverse lines are distinctly double, the 
distal ones being black, the proximal ones more brownish. Colorado, New Mexico. 
clavigera. E. clavigera Dyar (6 d) is very much like feniseca, but it is somewhat smaller, of a purer grey, with 
a somewhat greasy lustre, very coarsely strewn with black, marked like feniseca, but the maculae somewhat 
lighter, still more prominent owing to the black ground of the cell, the coniform macula is larger and more distinct. 
Hindwing white with ashy-grey veins and marginal band. From Mexico (San Angel), taken in December. 
detersa. E. detersa Wkr. (= pitychrous Grt.) (6 d) is smaller than the preceding, otherwise very similar; whitish 
grey, dusted with reddish brown particularly in, below and behind the cell and in the marginal area; the median, 
the upper median and lower radial branch are white like the anterior undulate transverse lines and the maculae 
which are encircled with brown; between the dentate posterior transverse line and the similar undulate line 
there is a whitish band. Hindwing white with a brown margin and veins, in the $ browner. Canada and Nortli- 
personata. Eastern States to Colorado. — - personata Morr. is a darker and more intensely marked form. ■—- f. azif Streck. 
«-'/• is probably only a synonym of detersa. — The brownish larva with a thin skin, white dorsal, subdorsal, lateral 
and substigmatal lines lives on grasses. 
infrit a. E. intrita Morr. (6 e). Eorewing monotonously reddish dark brown, extensively dusted black, markings 
mostly indistinct; transverse I ines and median shade blackish; the undulate line consists of small blackish sagittae 
which are distaily reddish; the maculae are ringed reddish and surrounded with black. Hindwing brownish- 
strigUis. white with yellowish veins and marginal area. Canada to California and Arizona. — strigilis Grt. (= titubatis 
Sm.) (6e) has the forewing scantily strewn with white, and the transverse lines and maculae are likewise bordered 
reuda. with whitish like the undulate line. Canada. — reuda Streck. (6 f) is somewhat lighter reddish-brown with greyish- 
alticola. hued transverse lines and maculae, in the marginal area suffused with black. Washington. — alticola Sm. (6 e) 
is still lighter reddish-brown, with quite extinct markings, sometimes without any markings at all. From 
Oregon, Colorado and California. 
pliaeochroa. E. pliaeochroa Hmps. Dark red-brown, dusted with grey, with black, dentate transverse lines, the 
anterior line being very much distaily angled above the proximal margin; the ring-macula is a small brown 
spot, the reniform macula faintly surrounded by brown, between them a brown median line to the lower cell- 
angle, from there dentately to the proximal margin; undulate line a little lighter, proximally with small red- 
brown sagittae, the marginal area behind them darkened. Hindwing white, hued with reddish-brown, with 
a faint discal spot and postmedian line. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Peru (Acopampa). 
cartagensis. E. cartagensis Schs. Thorax brown, tinted violet; forewing reddish-brown, with blackish-brown, dentate 
transverse lines, the anterior ones being double, the posterior line single, pointedly dentate; in the darker brown 
cell are the large maculae encircled with a lighter colour and pupilled darker; undulate line fine, before it a 
dark brown shade at the costal margin, below it small dark sagittae, behind it dark grey shades. Hindwing 
whitish, distaily greyish-brown. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Costa Rica. 
rufula. E. rufula Sm. is yellowish brown, strewn with a darker brown, both the transverse lines double, 
and with a darker median shade; the maculae are lighter ringed and encircled with black in a blackish ground, 
the ring-macula is obliquely elliptical, above open; behind the lighter undulate line the marginal area is darkened, 
bus if lava, before it some small dark sagittae. Hindwing brown with a darker discal spot and yellowish fringes. — f. basi- 
flava Sm. (6 f) has a contrastingly lighter yellowish basal area. Canada to Colorado. 
infracta. E. infracts Morr. (= rubefactalis Grt.) (6 f as rubefactalis ) resembles basiflava in the lighter yellowish 
basal area, but also the marginal area is lighter, the transverse lines are only single, sharply dentate; no small 
sagittae before the undulate line. Hindwing ochreous-yellowish brown with darker veins and margin. Washing¬ 
ton, Texas, Colorado. 
infausta. E. infausta Wkr. (= numa Streck.) (Gf). Light brown, strewn with reddish and darker; anterior 
transverse line double, the posterior line single, maculae surrounded with black, ring-macula elliptical, reniform 
macula pupilled dark; median shade distinct as well as the sinuate undulate line. Hindwing brown with white 
fringes. Canada, United States to New Mexico. 
microny.r. E. itlicroiiyx Grt. (6 f) is somewhat larger, dusted with grey on its dark brown ground, otherwise marked 
very much like infausta, but the ring-macula is round and, like the reniform macula, pupilled dark, the latter 
often with an indentation on the inside; the undulate line is proximally reddish and below the centre dentate. 
Hindwing brown with darker veins. California.
