E. depilis Grt. ( = bombyoiformis Sm.) (27 g) has grey forewings irrorated with dark brown, with or depitis. 
without a black basal ray and rather indistinct transverse lines; the whitish maculae are centred brown, between 
them a faint median shadow, the whitish undulate line is proximally shaded with dark. Hindwing brownish, 
at the margin darker. From New York to Ohio and Texas. 
E. rolandi Grt. (= vernalis Morr.) (27 h). Forewing greyish-brown with rather indistinct transverse rolandi. 
lines, the broad coniform macula extending to the cell, the large upper maculae only laterally bordered with 
black, above and below open; instead of the undulate line there are small black sagittae. Hindwing brownish. 
The $ is much darker. Massachusetts, Missouri, Texas. 
E. damalis Grt. (27 h) differs from the others by its almost purely bluish-grey ground-colour with damalis. 
a very slight brown hue, all the markings being but very feebly marked. Hindwing white, at the margin slightly 
irrorated with blackish. From California. 
29. Genus: C'opipanol is Grt. 
Separable from the preceding by the thorax being only clad with hair, without any tufts, and by the 
entirely stunted proboscis. The genus contains but one though most variable species from North America. 
C. styracis Gn. (27 h) is a most variable insect, greyish-brown or 1 reddish-brown with or without more styracis. 
or less faded transverse stripes, with or without equally coloured or whitish maculae, an undulate line is hardly 
ever present. The nomenclatural type is a greyish-brown form with a purely brown central area, the maculae 
being grey, surrounded by a darker colour. •— Very closely allied and perhaps coincident with it is the form fasciaia. 
fasciata$m. (27 h), a brighter red-brown form, in the basal and marginal areas irrorated with whitish, somewhat 
greyer maculae, the ring-macula being very small, and with red-brown transverse lines, the posterior line intense, 
the anterior line more faded. Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois. — borealis Sm. (27 h) from Canada is likewise borealis. 
a greyish-brown form with a more reddish-brown central area, without a ring-macula. — cubllis Grt. is similar, ciibilis. 
but with whitish maculae. Range like that of fasciata. ■— The form stigma Sm. finally is reddish-yellow, without stigma. 
transverse lines, with yellowish-white small maculae and apparently much smaller, from Florida. -— The larva 
lives on Styrax. 
30. Genus: Provia B. u. McD. 
Very closely allied to the two preceding genera from which it differs in its strong proboscis and 
only ciliated, not pectinate <$ antennae, and in the absence of the horny terminal plate on the anterior tibia, 
exhibited by the two others beside the claw. As to the covering of the thorax it resembles Copipanolis. 
whilst the shape of the wings is more like that in Eutolype. Only 1 species: 
F. argentata B. u. McD. (27 i). Forewing smoky-brown, in the central area somewhat darker, the argentata. 
costal margin and hind-margin irrorated with grey, without transverse lines, but the maculae are intensely 
prominent, being black with a silvery-white ring, the ring-macula being small, a horizontal oval, the reni- 
form macula large, in the centre somewhat lighter centred, its lower end extended in a bipartite silvery white 
spot from which a black-striped shadow runs to the apex; the large coniform macula is also silvery white; 
at the distal margin small white spots. Hindwing whitish. with brown veins, in the $ brown. From Utah. 
31. Genus: Kpfdemas Sm. 
Without proboscis, with short palpi, serrate antennae, and a roughly haired and scaled thorax, in 
front and behind with loose tufts, the 1st abdominal ring being likewise tufted. 
E. cinerea Sm. (27 i). Forewing grey, irrorated with brown and strewn with black, with a black basal cinerea. 
ray, double transverse lines filled up with whitish, a long pointed coniform macula reaching to the post- 
median line, and whitish-ringed upper maculae. Undulate line whitish, crenulate, the marginal area behind 
it darker. Hindwing light brownish. Washington. Colorado. 
E. obscura Sm. (27 i) is similar, more red-brown, the coniform macula much shorter, the transverse obscura. 
lines much more indistinct, only the posterior line double, not filled up with whitish, instead of the undulate 
line with dark internerval dots. Washington. 
E. melanographa Hmps. (27 i) has greyish-white forewings in some places irrorated with blackish-brown melanogra- 
the black basal ray above somewhat scaled ochreous-yellowish, the black transverse lines on the averted V ha - 
sides bordered with white; the maculae are white, surrounded by black, between them an intense black 
median shadow; before the white undulate line there are black sagittae. Hindwing light brown. Described 
from Canada (Vancouver).
