A. pendina Sm. (= saturatior Strd., = ab. 1 Hmps.) (34b) differs from the two preceding in the pendina. 
monotonously deep reddish colour in which all the markings are quite extinct. Hindwing yellowish with an 
uncommonly distinct, broad, smoky grey marginal band, a narrow dark median line and a more or less distinct 
median luna; in the forewing it resembles more indela, in the hindwing lineo.sa. In the male antennae the inden¬ 
tations of the joints are somewhat more distinctly marked than in the others; in the shape of the genitals it 
resembles indela most. — The form palliderufa Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) is probably a somewhat lighter form palliderufa. 
approximating lineosa, with which it may be identical, as we have mentioned there as doubtful. Alberta. Manitoba 
British Columbia. Perhaps all 3 are forms of conradi (34 a). 
A. inficita Wlcr. (34 b) is a bright red-brown species with single red-brown transverse lines which, inficita. 
on the averted sides, are bordered with a somewhat lighter colour, and the maculae in indistinctly lighter rings, 
the lighter undulate line being proximally bordered with a somewhat deeper red-brown colour, with darker 
vein-streaks behind it. Hindwing red-brown. Described from Canada. — belangeri Morr. is perhaps a darker belangeri. 
form and not synonymous, perhaps also a subspecies of conradi, not rarely occurring from New Eoundland 
to Quebec. 
A. popofensis Sm. (34 b) is most closely allied to indela and may only be a northern race of it. Forewing popofensis. 
dull ochre-yellowish, in the distal half of the median area tinted reddish, only the posterior transverse line 
marked by small black vein-dots, maculae surrounded by whitish, the reniform macula below filled up with 
black. Hindwing brownish-grey with yellowish fringes. The species was described as a Luperina and originates 
from Alaska. 
A. satina Streck. (34 c). Forewing dull brown with a black basal ray, indistinct basal and subterminal satina. 
lines, the anterior transverse line being black, above straight, below the cell very much bent outwards, the 
posterior line on the veins somewhat dentate; the maculae are small light unmarked spots, the coniform macula 
is a short black streak. Hindwing blackish-brown, towards the base lighter. Anticosti. 
A. morna Streck. (= hulstii Grt.) (34 c) is a rare species which does not agree well with the other morna. 
species and apparently is allied to Luperina passer (34 g) which represents a transition to the genus Sidemia. 
morna agrees best with the form conspicua of passer and has the same marking, but it has a reddish yellowish- 
brown colour without black strewing, with dark reddish-brown markings, the median area shaded with reddish- 
brown. Hampson did not recognise morna correctly, his figure belongs to indela. Canada to Colorado. 
A. lutosa Andr. (34 c). Forewing greyish-white, strewn with reddish-brown, with darker dentate lutosa. 
transverse lines and blackish vein-dots behind the distal line, the maculae in feebly lighter rings; undulate 
line light, proximally shaded with brown. Hindwing light brown. Central and Eastern States. 
A. helva Grt. (34 c) is very similarly marked as lutosa, but of a very much brighter reddish-yellow helva. 
colour with distinct double transverse lines, the reniform macula in the upper half pupilled with blackish- 
brown. Hinclwing yellowish greyish-brown. Canada to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
A. insama Dgn., doubtfully placed here, ,,is the only tropical species with quite light yellowish-brown insana. 
forewings without any distinct markings; the equally coloured maculae hardly contrast with the ground, nor 
does the postmedian line; only the brown marginal dots are more distinct. Hindwing yellowish. Colombia 
(Quindiu Pass) from an altitude of 3000 m. 
17. Genus: Steph. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the thorax being more roughly covered with hair and 
intermixed with hair-like scales. Prothorax and metathorax with loose tufts, abdomen on the first rings with 
tufts. The genus being also besides palearctic contains half a dozen of North American species. 
E. hilli Grt. (33 k) is a smaller species with whitish forewing, in some places, particularly in the hilli. 
median area, strewn with brown, with a black basal ray, and black, intense transverse lines being connected 
by the coniform macula. Hindwing smoky brown. Northern and Eastern States. 
E. hanhami B. <1- Benj. ( albertina auct. nec Hmps.) (34 c) is very near to hilli, larger, of a more hanhami. 
clumsy structure, with longer wings, less contrastingly marked on the white ground which is strewn with black 
and brown. The under surface is less blackened. Vancouver. •— The figure 33 k is a copy of a sketch, whilst 
34 c is drawn from nature. 
E. claudens Wkr. leucoscelis Grt., fibulata Morr.) (33 1). Forewing grey, in some places irrorated claudens. 
and strewn with brown, with a black basal ray and intense black transverse lines which are bordered with white 
on the averted sides. Both are connected by a black streak from the apex of the coniform macula; the whitish 
maculae are centred with brownish and finely encircled \jdth black, the whitish undulate line is proximally
