white tornal patch. Hind wings with 3 and 4 stalked ; in $ grey- 

 whitish, becoming pale grey towards apex, in $ light grey ; cilia 

 whitish with grey subhasal line, round apex grey. 



TRANSVAAL, Barberton, in April (H. Edwards), and Johannesburg, 

 in January (one $ in my own collection) ; ZULULAND, Mfongosi, in 

 May (W. E. Jones); three specimens. At first sight very like 

 E. leucopctra, but larger, and the male of that species has a costal 

 fold, besides differences of detail.

$ . 18 mm. Head ferruginous, with a white band behind antennae, 

 lower part of face whitish. Palpi white, second joint ferruginous 

 above. Antennae grey. Thorax white, spotted with light brownish. 

 Abdomen pale ochreous, apex white. Forewings rather elongate- 

 triangular, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate, 

 rather oblique ; snow-white ; a small dark fuscous spot on costa near 

 base, and several dark fuscous strigulae between this and a roundish 

 brown spot resting on costa before middle, thence to apical spot the 

 costa is narrowly dark brown cut by oblique white striguhe ; a rather 

 broad streak of fuscous suffusion partially tinged with ferruginous and 

 transversely strigulated with silvery- whitish extending along dorsum 

 from base to tornus ; a rather thick irregular dark brown streak much 

 strigulated transversely with silvery-whitish and somewhat mixed 

 with pale leaden-grey extending from costa before apical mark to 

 dorsal streak at f ; an elongate-triangular ferruginous-orange mark 

 on costa before apex, edged above with white at apex, and beneath 

 by a curved white line, below which is a round yellow apical spot ; a 

 series of four small leaden-grey spots before termen, each preceded 

 by a fine black transverse-linear mark : cilia white, at apex ferru- 

 ginous, tips ferruginous on upper part of termen. Hindwings light 

 grey, apex narrowly whitish ; cilia white, with two blackish basal 

 dots at and above apex, and a fine greyish basal line, round apex with 

 a ferruginous postmedian line becoming fuscous on upper part of 

 termen. 



ZULULAND, Mfongosi, in November (W. E. Jones) ; one specimen. 

 Approaches the Australian optima, but can be immediately dis- 

 tinguished by the markings on posterior half of costa.
