E. placida B. <£• McD. (9 e) is a smaller species very well distinguished by salmon-coloured forewings, placida. 
and a flesh-coloured thorax intermixed with white. Forewing in the costal part lighter, in the basal and proxi¬ 
mal parts blackish and strewn with white; transverse lines marked by somewhat lighter bands which are bor¬ 
dered with a hardly darker colour; ring-macula small, yellowish, in the centre strewn darker, a dark median 
shade near the reniform macula which is only marked by a small dark spot; marginal area darker, strewn 
with blackish, traversed by the lighter undulate line. Hindwing white, at the distal margin darkened. Texas, 
based upon 1 $. 
E. mimanonis Grt. (= rufipennis Grt.) (6 i) is a large, deep chestnut-red species with single, finely mimallonis. 
dentate transverse lines, small dark maculae surrounded with grey, and a dentate median line between them; 
behind the lighter undulate line the marginal area is darkened. Hindwing white, at the margin darkened, in the $ 
quite brown. Distributed from Canada to California. — f. gagates Grt. (6 i) is red-brown with darkened veins, gagates. 
the maculae are encircled with white, the anterior transverse line is absent, the posterior line is indistinct. — f. 
caenis Grt. (= muscosa Grt., lenola Sm.) (7 a) has a more grey ground-colour, suffused and strewn with carmine, caenis. 
particularly around and between the maculae, and only with traces of transverse lines. From Colorado. 
E. messoria Harr. (= spissa Gn., inextricata Wkr. , indirecta Wkr., displiciens Wkr., expulsa Wkr., messoria. 
ordinata Wkr., reticens Wkr., cochrani Riley, repentis Grt. & R., confracta Morr., friabilis Grt.) (6 k) is a very 
common, greyish-brown species dusted with a darker brown, with double dentate transverse lines, large maculae 
surrounded with black, and a sinuate undulate line with small dark spots before it and a darkened margin behind 
it. Hindwing white, tinted brown. Very widely distributed from Canada to California. — f. territorialis Sm. territoriaUs. 
(= fulda Sm.) (7 a) is somewhat greyer with a more distinct dentate median shade and a triangular darkening 
at the costal margin before the undulate line. — Larva light brown, laterally darker with fine lighter longitudinal 
lines; it lives polyphagous on low plants. 
E. septentrionalis Wkr. (= incubita Sm., relexa Sm.) (7 a) is larger, darker brown, intensely strewn septcntrio- 
with black, the cell being blackened round the maculae; the space between the post median line and undulate nalis. 
line is of a purer grey, before the latter small blackish spots. Hindwing whitish with brownish margin and veins. 
Canada to California. 
E. scholastica McD. Forewing brown, dusted with light ochreous, with the same markings as in scholasiica. 
messoria (6 k), but better pronounced, the transverse lines double like there, filled up with somewhat lighter 
ochreous; the ring-macula is a uniform oval, pupilled with ochreous-yellow; hindwing much darker, smoke- 
brown, with a distinct, small median spot. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. The genitals are different from those 
of messoria. According to the author the species may belong near ‘pestula. From Ottawa; apparently rare. 
E. dodi McD. shows narrow, uniformly grey forewings with a very distinct marking; the usual trans- dodi. 
verse lines are black, double, filled up with a lighter colour, the anterior line is straighter than usually, vertical 
to the proximal margin; the long coniform macula is surrounded with black, the ring-macula roundish-oval, 
somewhat lighter than the ground, the reniform macula is broad, both surrounded with black; the light undulate 
line is still more prominent owing to the darkened marginal area, in the middle there are before it often small 
black sagit.tae. The whitish hindwing is smoky. Expanse of wings: 30 to 32 mm. Canada (Alberta). 
E. difformis Sm. (7 a). Grey or brownish-grey, strewn darker; both the transverse lines double, the difformis. 
anterior line partly interrupted, the proximal ones always stronger and black, the averted ones fine, brownish; 
median shade present; maculae rather small, grey, encircled with black, the reniform macula pupilled darker; 
the undulate line is proximally bordered by a shade which is crossed by grey on the veins. Hindwing yellowish 
white, towards the margin brownish. Oregon. 
E. fuscigera Grt. (7 a) is light greyish-brown, strewn darker, in the disc and on the folds suffused with fusdgera. 
ferruginous brownish; the transverse lines are single, black, the posterior line dentate; between the indistinct 
maculae there is a square black spot; undulate line irregularly dentate. Hindwing whitish, distally brownish. 
Colorado, California. 
E. terrena Sm. ( — lagganae Sm.) (7 a). Dark ashy or brownish grey, strewn with a darker tint, terrena. 
transverse lines double, but the posterior line only at the costal margin, median shade on the median distally 
angled; maculae somewhat lighter, the ground between them darkened; undulate line interrupted, grey, proxi¬ 
mally bordered with a darker shade. Hindwing greyish-brown with whitish fringes. British Columbia, Wa¬ 
shington. 
E. brunneigera Grt. (7 b) is reddish-brown, strewn darker. Transverse lines single, no median shade brunneige- 
maculae finely encircled with black. Undulate line indistinctly dentate, distally grey. Hindwing dark brown. 
From Canada to California, a common species. Larva somewhat transparent dirty brown with a lighter dorsal 
line on both sides shaded darker; it lives on low plants. 
E. atropulverea Sm. (7 a) is larger than the preceding, dark greyish-brown with double transverse airoputve- 
lines; maculae like in brunneigera ; a median shade is interrupted on the median; undulate line composed of rC(K 
indistinct, small, blackish lunae. Hindwing light brownish. From Colorado. — f. ternaria Sm. (= masoni ternaria.
