E. perdita Stgr. (10 g) is much smaller, red-brown, with a light grey costal-marginal part and median; perdila. 
only the posterior indistinctly double transverse line is present; the small grey maculae are coherent with the 
costal area. Forewing greyish-brown. From Fuegia. 
E. bicolor Mob. is somewhat larger than perdita (10 g), of a deeper red-brown with a lighter costal- bicolor. 
marginal part and veins; the cell before and between the maculae is decidedly black; behind the undulate line 
the margin is of a purer grey. Hindwing dark brown with ochreous yellowish fringes. The $ has the costal area 
greyer, the ring-macula larger and coherent with the costal-marginal part. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Pata¬ 
gonia and Fuegia. 
E. typhlina Mob. has olive-brown forewings with a black and red-brown basal ray as in gravida , typhlina. 
and with a similar longitudinal stripe in the lower half of the cell, another at the proximal margin from the 
base to beyond the middle, and a third above the inner-marginal vein extending from before the middle to the 
margin; transverse lines and maculae entirely absent; small black antemarginal sagittae. Hindwing dark brown¬ 
ish-grey. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Patagonia. 
E. dissociata Stgr. (10 g) is grey, dusted with brown, with a reddish-brown costal part, cell and sub- dissociata. 
median fold; the indistinct transverse lines are finely dentate; the maculae small, dark, in light rings and sur¬ 
rounded with black; undulate line marked by small dark sagittae. Hindwing brownish-grey with yellowish- 
white fringes. Patagonia. 
E. interclusa Wkr. (10 h). Greyish-brown, strewn darker; transverse lines only marked by small interclusa. 
spots; the maculae are quite effaced, between them a quadrangular black spot; undulate line effaced, darker. 
Hindwing yellowish-brown, towards the margin darker. North-western coast of America. 
E. coppingeri Btlr. (10 h) is a larger species with rather narrow wings, dark red-brown with a lighter coppingeri. 
costal area and veins; transverse lines indistinctly darker, the posterior line dentate; maculae lighter in a dark 
ground with traces of a median shade between them; the undulate line is proximally bordered by small dark 
brown sagittae. Hindwing dark brown. Patagonia. 
E. frigida Mab. has bright red-brown forewings dusted with a violettish grey except the discal area, frigida. 
the marginal area being strewn with a dark colour; transverse lines single, dentate, maculae small, bordered 
with a lighter colour. Hindwing reddish grey. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Patagonia. 
E. bollii Grt. (= hilaris Grt.) (10 h). Greyish-brown, strewn with whitish, with whitish, feebly bent bollii. 
transverse lines, the maculae marked by small black quadrangular spots before and between them. Hindwing 
yellowish greyish-brown, towards the base lighter. Known from Texas. 
E. fungorum Grt. (10 f) is a large, reddish ochreous species with 2 single blackish transverse lines fungorum. 
and a quadrangular blackish spot in the cell-end. Hindwing ochreous-reddish. United States, Eastern and 
Central States. 
E. madida Gn. is larger than ftmgorum, of the same colouring, with single darker transverse lines, madida. 
the posterior line being light with dark dots on the veins; maculae yellowish-brown with lighter rings; undulate 
line composed of small dark lunae. Hindwing diaphanous white, with darker veins and reddish fringes. Brazil. 
E. perotensis Schs. (10 f) is allied to madida, but not synonymous, it is larger, with broader wings, perotensis. 
lighter maculae, between which the ground is somewhat darker, also the transverse lines lighter, the dots on 
the veins of the distal line very faint; the hindwings are lighter, too. Mexico. 
E. hahama Dyar (9 g) is very similar, strewn more with brownish, the transverse lines light, the hahama. 
proximal line almost straight, the distal line rounded, before it dark dots on the veins; the large, lighter-ringed 
maculae in a darker ground; the subterminal line is undulate, before it a darker shade at the costal margin. 
Hindwing whitish, proximal margin and fringes tinted pink, costal margin, veins and a discal spot ochreous- 
brownish. Mexico. 
E. pyrsogramma Dyar. Anterior body and forewing reddish grey with an olive tint; collar posteriorly pyrsogram- 
jet-black; transverse lines broa l, light, finely bordered with a darker colour, the anterior line almost straight, ma - 
the posterior line bent in the costal-marginal part; costal margin, proximal margin, fringes, a stripe on the 
sub median fold, in the base of the cell, and the pupils of the 2 upper maculae are orange-red; between the maculae 
a quadrangular black spot; undulate line brown, spotted. Hindwing greyish-brown, in the disc lighter with 
orange fringes. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo), recently also taken in Arizona (Huachuca Mts.). 
E. molepa Schs. (10 f) is brownish-red, strewn darker, with rows of black dots on the veins instead molepa. 
of the transverse lines and blackish traces of the reniform macula; no other markings. Hindwing of a pure white. 
Brazil. 
E. cyminopristis Dyar (10 h) is a very different, large, uni-coloured dust-grey species with 1 or 2 cymino- 
blackish cellular dots, indistinct postmedian dots on the veins, as well as black marginal dots. Hindwing whitish pristis. 
with darkened veins. Mexico (City) in August. 
E. amphipyroides sp. n. (13 e) is finely strewn darker on a light reddish-grey ground; of the markings amphipy- 
only some small costal-marginal spots are traceable, a small, slightly darker crescentiform spot marking the roides.
