E. annir Streck. is very similar to lineifrons (7 c), the transverse lines and the median shade are less annir. 
prominent; this species is probably only a form of the preceding. Described from Colorado. 
E. discilinea Dyar (7 c) is allied to lineifrons (7 c) and the two following species, it is of a purer discilinea. 
ash-grey, only sometimes with a brownish band between the median shade and the postmedian line. Hindwing 
in the of a pure white with a darker anteterminal band, in the $ quite dark greyish-brown with white fringes. 
It is perhaps a southern form of pedalis (7 d) to which it seems to be the most closely allied. From Mexico (City) 
in November. 
E. annulipes Sm. (7 e) is extraordinarily similar to lineifrons (7 c), smaller, somewhat greyer, without annulipes. 
the black-banded Irons, the forewing towards the margin, particularly towards the costal margin more intensely 
blackened, the median shade still more distinct and darker brown, the dark marginal shading of the undulate 
line leaves the apex itself light; hindwing somewhat lighter. Oregon. 
E. pedalis Sm. (7 d) is likewise similar, more reddish-yellow, the maculae are more distinctly marked, pedal is. 
behind the very intense black median shade the fine double transverse lines recede entirely; marginal area 
blackened, especially towards the apex. Hindwing of a pure white. Colorado. 
E. teleboa Sm. (7 d). On the entirely light yellow forewing almost only the broad faded black median teleboa. 
shade and the blackish-strewn reniform macula are prominent, all the other markings having vanished nearly 
altogether; marginal area somewhat darkened. Hindwings white. From New Mexico. 
E. recticincta Sm. (7 c) is very similar to teleboa, with somewhat intenser markings, particularly the recticineta. 
median shade being deeper, proximally sharply, distally hazily defined; the ring-macula is present as a light 
ring. Hindwing white with traces of a discal spot and marginal shading. Canada (Alberta). 
E. cincta B. & Benj. is allied to annulipes and recticincta, but darker than both, with more strongly eincta. 
serrate antennae. It is perhaps still more closely allied to lucida (9 h), likewise darker with a thicker antennal 
shaft. From all the allied species distinguished by narrower valves with a finely spined uncus. Expanse of 
wings: 31 to 35 mm. Arizona. 
E. murdocki Sm. (7 e) is easily recognizable by the ferruginous brownish colour with a bluish-grey murdocki. 
discal area; the transverse lines are distinctly double, between the two upper maculae the cell is filled up with 
red-brown; behind the undulate line the marginal area is darkened. Hind wing brownish-grey. British Columbia, 
Utah, California. 
E. tessellata Harris (= insignata Wkr., illata Wkr., maisi Fitch., insulsa Wkr., subsignata Wkr., per- tessellata. 
lentans Wkr., nigricans Riley) (7 d). Forewing lighter or darker brown, dusted with grey; transverse lines distinct, 
the anterior line double, the posterior line single, with traces of a median line; the grey-dusted maculae are 
situate in the cell being filled up with black; undulate line light, below the middle dentate, behind it the marginal 
area is darkened. Hindwing brownish-white. Widely distributed from Canada to Colorado. -—- f. atropurpurea atropurpu- 
Grt. (= finis Sm.) (7 e) are the darker forms with a more distinctly prominent undulate line. —- f. nordica Sm. non n ca 
is a dark form with a contrastingly lighter, grey-dusted costal part, from British Columbia. —- i. flaviscapula fiaviscapu- 
Sm. is a very monotonously dark greyish-brown form with some ochreous yellow scales at the distal edge of 
the reniform macula and in the undulate line; the collar is yellowish, too. From New Mexico. — f. fesselloides tesselloides. 
Grt. (= neotelis Sm., objurgata Sm., cariosa Sm., focina Sm., laminis Sm.) (7 e) are more grey specimens, someti¬ 
mes ash-grey with bluish-grey dusting between the post median and undulate lines, and generally more distinctly 
pronounced transverse lines and a black basal ray; if the area between the posterior transverse line and the 
undulate line is especially contrastingly light, this is f. acutifrons Sm., in which there is reddish-brown dusting acutijrons. 
below and behind the cell. 
E. remota Sm. (7 d) is an entirely pale reddish-grey species, in the discal area more reddish, darkened remota. 
in the marginal area; the transverse lines are double, partly reduced to dots on the veins; the maculae are large, 
grey, finely surrounded with black. Hindwings dirty white, at the margin darker. California. 
E. intrusa Sm. (7 e) has broader wings than tessellata (7 d), it is of a reddish-brown, strewn with black intrusa. 
and dusted with a whitish grey in the costal-marginal part, basal area, in the centre of the proximal margin, 
and in the distal-marginal area; transverse lines double, strongly developed; the maculae are very light on the 
contrastingly dark ground of the cell; a median shade together with the postmedian line often forms a dark 
band. Undulate line light, proximally bordered with dark. Hindwing yellowish-brown. From California. 
E. esfa Sm. recalls velleripennis (6 h), it has the same marking, but it is more smoothly scaled and esta. 
not so dark black; the likewise similar punctigera (6 h) is browner, and its maculae are more broadly surrounded 
with yellowish. Forewing smoky-blackish, dusted with yellowish, with more or less faded markings; only the 
yellowish-strewn undulate line is somewhat more prominent owing to black scales. Hindwing yellowish-white, 
towards the margin smoky, in the $ quite brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 32 to 36 mm. British Columbia. 
E. atomaris Sm. (7 e). Forewing oclireous-brown, suffused with a darker colour, with very indistinct atomaris. 
transverse lines, and the maculae are only marked by the fine black bordering; the undulate line is marked 
by whitish scales. Hindwing semitransparent white, towards the margin brownish. From Colorado and Cali-
