The allied E. docilisalis has been declared to be 

 synonymous with E. stilbeaUs, a species differing from 

 it in size, coloration, and pattern ; the two have also 

 been pronounced to be females of Messatis sahirusalis = 

 Paconia alhifimhrialis = Tricomia auroralis = Rhodaria 

 rohina ; if it be a fact that either E. docilisalis or E. 

 StilbeaUs is the female of Walker's M. sahirusalis (which 

 has much the aspect of Pihodaria sanguinalis on a larger 

 scale), the species can no longer remain in Endotricha, 

 a genus in which the sexes agree in both size, form, and 

 pattern. 



E. obscura, in pattern, nearly resembles E. sondaicalis 

 of Snellen from the Celebes.
