ochreous, irregularly suffused with ochreous- whitish ; two small 

 hlack spots on costa towards base ; a blackish longitudinal mark 

 in disc near base ; a straight rather oblique thick blackish bar 

 from costa at f , reaching more than half across wing, followed by 

 an ochreous-whitish bar ; space between these blackish markings 

 suffused with fuscous ; posterior half of costa blackish-fuscous 

 spotted with ochreous-whitish ; a small black spot in disc at f, 

 more or less distinctly bisected by a projection from an ochreous- 

 whitish spot beneath it : cilia pale whitish-ochreous with a 

 median row of blackish points. Hiudwings with veins 5 and 6 

 separate ; whitish-grey ; cilia pale whitish-ochreous. 



Auckland and Christchurch, in December ; two specimens. 

 Nearly allied to E. pharotoma, but distinctly less narrow-winged ; 

 the best distinctive markings appear to be the well-defined thick 

 black bar from costa, and the obsolescence of marking in the 

 cilia.
