are broadly scaled ferruginous-red; the proximal transverse line is double, black, with 2 black dots on the proxi¬ 
mal-marginal vein, behind the broken distal line there is a double row of black dots on the veins, the undulate 
line is uniformly bent parallel to the distal margin and of a fiery red, edged with brown, the marginal area 
behind it is dusted with brown, with a black dentate marginal line. Hindwing blackish-brown with red fringes.

E. umbrifer Dyar has light ochreous-brown forewings with a broad blackish-brown longitudinal shade umbrifer. 
below the cell from the base to the undulate line, extending behind the cell to the costal margin and covering 
the reniform macula, and narrowly shading also the marginal area; all the markings extinct except the distal 
bordering of the reniform macula which is filled up with dark and traversed by a light colour. Hindwing blackish- 
brown with a light costal margin and a small blackish discal spot. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo). 
E. milio Dyar. Forewing light loam-coloured grey, at the costal margin, median shade and marginal milio. 
area shaded with blackish, with black transverse lines, the proximal line composed of 3 bows, the distal one 
being dentate with a row of dots behind it; the ring-macula is absent, the reniform macula pupilled black, in 
a light ring, in the upper half and on the discal fold with light dots; the light, irregular undulate line 
is situate near the margin. The light hindwing is darkened on the margin and veins. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. 
Mexico (Hidalgo). 
E. nisio Dyar. Likewise loam-coloured grey, strewn with blackish, on the costal margin and cell blackish, nisio. 
very similarly marked, but the transverse lines bordered with a light colour, and with a round, light ring-macula 
bordered with black and pupilled black, the reniform macula quite similar as in milio; the distal transverse 
line is dentate and with black and white dots behind it; before the narrow light undulate line with small, black, 
wedge-shaped spots, the marginal area blackish. Hindwing brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Mexico

E. vecors Gn. (= enervis Gn., predeuns Wkr., togata Wkr., velata Wkr., nitens Gr.) (21 h). Forewing vecors. 
red-brown, tinted purple, and particularly on the veins strewn with white, with undulate, rather indistinct 
transverse lines and dots on the veins behind the distal line; the maculae are absent except the minute reddish 
luna representing the reniform macula; the indistinct undulate line is yellowish, proximally bordered with 
brown and with some black dots in the centre of the wing. Hindwing yellowish-brown. -— In the form: griseo -griseocinda. 
cincta Harv. the purple brown forewing is more intensely strewn with white, the transverse lines are distinctly 
bordered with white. From Canada and the North Eastern United States to the Mississippi. 
E. diplopis Dyar (21 h). Thorax black, with a contrastingly ferruginous brown collar; forewing purple diplopis. 
blackish, with extinct transverse lines; the reniform macula is white, proximally broadly margined with ferru¬ 
ginous-yellow, the large, oblique, black-ringed ring-macula of the ground-colour, between them the cell is 
filled up with black; the undulate line is only visible below the costal margin as a black stripe, from which a 
black line on the fold extends to the reniform macula. Hindwing light brownish-grey, towards the margin 
darker. — In aleuca form. nov. (21 i) the reniform macula is not white. From Mexico (Zacualpan) in June aleuca. 
and July. 
E. calceolaria Streck. is allied to vecors (21 h), but of a more greyish-brown ground-colour with rather calceolaria. 
dense coarse whitish strewing; the undulate transverse lines are single, behind the distal line with black dots 
on the veins; the maculae are marked by small darker spots; before the undulate line being bordered with a 
darker colour the subterminal area is still more densely strewn with white. Hindwing greyish-brown. From 
New York. 
E. imora Streck. resembles more the following virgula. Forewing greyish-brown, coarsely strewn imora. 
with black, with rather indistinct transverse lines, the posterior line dentate with black dots on the veins 
behind it; both the upper maculae are encircled with a lighter colour, the reniform macula is pupilled somewhat 
darker, between them a darker median shade passes through; before the light undulate line there are some 
small blackish sagittae. Hinclwing yellowish-white, on the veins and margin smoky. Wisconsin. 
E. virgula Gr. (21 h). Forewing dull reddish-brown with indistinct, undulately dentate transverse virgula. 
lines and a light undulate line with small black sagittae before it; of the maculae only the narrow reniform 
macula with an indistinct whitish ring is present, before it a faded dark median shade. The yellowish-white 
hindwing is dusted with a brownish grey except the basal area. Colorado, New Mexico. 
E. poasina Schs. is allied to the following pyropis (21 h). Forewing lustrous blackish-brown, with poasina. 
broad, lighter brownish transverse lines being almost straight; the ring-macula is a small black spot, the reni¬ 
form macula quadrangular, light reddish-yellow, ringed and strewn with black; the fine light undulate line 
is hardly visible. Hindwing brownish-grey with reddish fringes. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Costa Rica.
