This is probably a local race of E. crockeri, Butl., from 

 which it may be distinguished by the bright golden-yellow 

 band of the fore-wing and the darker cilia. 



Only a single female was obtained, but there are several 

 specimens in the Natural History Museum from Nigeria 

 which agree with that here described.
