E. incimcta Morr. (19 k). Forewing brownish-grey with a violettish tint, with single darker transverse incincta. 
lines, and behind the dentate distal line with black dots on the veins; the rather small maculae are in light 
rings, the reniform macula with a darker pupil; before the light undulate line a brown shade forming in the 
centre small indistinct sagittae. The whitish hindwing is strewn with brown, whilst the veins and margin are 
brownish. United States. 
E. infelix Dyar (19 i) resembles incincta, but it is more slender, with narrower wings, the undulate injclix. 
line is more broken, more densely dusted, the marginal area darker; the ground-colour is more an ochreous 
grey, the afiterior transverse line very much dentate. Mexico (City) in September. 
E. satumus Streck. is almost the intermediary between incincta (19 k) and oviduca (20 b), the forewing salurnn*. 
being greyish-brown, strewn but slightly darker, with single, dentate, on the averted sides somewhat lighter 
edged transverse stripes, with dots on the veins behind the distal one; the maculae are larger than in incincta, 
likewise in lighter rings and with somewhat darker pupils; before the lighter undulate line extends a red-brown 
nebulons stripe discally with 2 long black sagittae. Hindwing brownish-grey with lighter fringes. From Wisconsin. 
E. oviduca Gn. (= capsella Grt.) (20 b) has greyish-brown forewings with a violet, reddish or yellowish tint oviduca. 
and black strewing, the transverse stripes edged whitish, and black and white dots on the veins behind the distal 
one; the maculae are pupilled brown and with yellowish rings, the yellowish undulate line is proximally edged with 
dark brown. Hindwing brownish-grey with light er fringes. — The dirty brown larva is on the dorsum lighter with 
darker spots therein and orange colouring on the 12th ring; it entirely resembles the larva of rufula, but it 
shows orange colouring only on the posterior third of the prothorax. From Canada to New York and Illinois. 
E. melanopis Hmps. (19 k). Forewing greyish-brown, strewn darker, with the same transverse lines as in melanopis. 
oviduca, but darker, blackish, white-ringed maculae, the reniform macula on the median proximally produced; 
behind the distal transverse line there are black streaks on the veins; the whitish undulate line is proximally 
edged with dark. Hind wing white, on the veins and margin brownish, in the $ quite brown. From Arizona. 
E. constans Dyar is similar to melanopis (19 k), of a lighter grey, the maculae dark grey, not so black, constant:. 
the double transverse lines filled up with a lighter colour are faded in the more distinct in the $, instead 
of the distal line there is a series of dots on the veins; before the light, irregular undulate line a dark shade, 
behind it the marginal area is darkened. Hindwing dusted with grey with a dark central spot. Expanse 
of wings: 29 mm. Mexico. 
E. phanerozona Dyar likewise resembles melanopis (19 k), on the grey forewings it is strewn with phanerozo- 
black, the light yellowish transverse lines are straight, edged with a darker colour, like the undulate line; the >,a - 
maculae are scarcely darker than the ground, in lighter rings. Hindwing dirty whitish, at the margin, veins 
and central spot darkened. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Mexico (Tehuacan in Puebla), in June. 
E. orobia Harv. (19 k). Forewing olive-brown, strewn with white, with partly double, white-filled orobia. 
transverse lines, behind the distal one dark streaks on the veins and white dots, and with a white undulate 
line. Hindwing strewn with brownish, on the veins and margin darker. From Texas. 
E. ochrota Sells. (19 b) is rather variable; forewing ochreous-yellowish, densely strewn with blackish, ochrota. 
predominantly in the costal-marginal and distal-marginal areas, with rather indistinct, black, dentate trans¬ 
verse lines; the small maculae are surrounded by black, the reniform macula below and above open, distally 
spotted white; before the undulate line long black sagittae opposite the cell. The white hindwing is strewn 
with brownish, with a dark central dot and marginal line. Mexico. 
E. obtusa Sm. Forewing dark grey, strewn with black, with entirely extinct transverse lines and obtusa. 
small yellowish maculae encircled with black, the coniform macula being present, too; undulate line marked 
by yellowish dots. Hindwing white. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. From Arizona. 
E. antennata B. & Me. D. (20 b) has deep brown or purple brown forewings with more or less dis- antennata. 
tinct, double transverse lines filled up with a lighter colour, the distal part of the posterior line composed of 
dots on the veins, between both a black median shade; the ring-macula is small, surrounded with dark, the 
reniform macula in the upper half distally filled up with yellow, above with one, below with two white dots: 
behind the somewhat lighter subterminal area follows the light yellow, broken undulate line which is proximally 
shaded with dark. Hindwing diaphanous whitish, distally smoked dark with a small central dot. Expanse 
of wings: 25 to- 28 mm. From Arizona. The distinctness of the marking varies and the white dots of the 
reniform macula may be absent. 
E. condensa Dyar (19 k) has but very short antennal pinnae, of the width of the shaft at most, condensa. 
Ochreous-brownish grey with double transverse lines, the posterior line followed by a row of dots, with a dis¬ 
tinct median shade. The reniform macula consists of 2 small black lunae with reddish colour between them; 
the subterminal area is of a darker brown, traversed by the lighter undulate line. Hindwing dark with reddish 
fringes. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
Sec t. II. antennae serrate-denta t e with ciliary t u f t s. 
E. rhodohoria Dyar (20 b). Forewing pinkish-brown, in the shape of broad transverse bands strewn rhodohoria. 
with blackish, with undulately curved, brown, single transverse lines, on the averted sides of which the pinkish- 
brown ground shows pure; the maculae are finely surrounded with brown, the reniform macula is below
