 E. vtelanocepJiala. They are of a broad oyal shape and have a con- 

 siderable amount of gloss. The ground-colour is very faint bluish- 

 \yhite, minutely speckled or spotted all oyer with umber-brown and 

 underlying lilac-grey, the markings in some specimens forming an 

 irregular wreath round the broad eud. They measure from -78 to 

 •90 in length, and from -57 to -63 in breadth.
