costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen straight, somewhat oblique ; pale greyish- 

 ochreous irregularly tinged with crimson-pink, with scattered brown and blackish scales ; 

 second discal stigma dark grey ; a reddish-fuscous outwardly oblique streak from dorsum 

 before middle, not reaching fold, and a similar inwardly oblique streak from tornus : cilia 

 pale greyish-ochreous suffused with dull crimson-pink, with a few blackish scales. 

 Hindwings light grey ; cilia grey-whitish, greyer towards base. 



Silhouette, Mare aux Cochons plateau, 1000 feet, in September; one specimen.

$%. 22 — 26 mm. Head grey-whitish, with a black spot on crown and a black 

 mark behind each eye. Palpi grey-whitish, second joint with some black scales above 

 middle and a black submedian band, terminal joint mostly occupied by two black bands. 

 Antennal ciliations of $ \\. Thorax grey-whitish, with eight black spots, viz. on 

 shoulders, at base of patagia, and dorsal and posterior pairs. Abdomen yellow, with 

 dorsal series of seven black spots, less marked in $, beneath with two series of six 

 large black spots each. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, 

 termen nearly straight, rather oblique ; 7 to apex ; pale whitish-grey, with about 

 seventeen small black spots or dots, partially elongate, more or less indistinctly edged 

 with white, viz. one in middle of base, two transversely placed beneath costa near base, 

 one beneath costa at £, one towards dorsum beneath this, one on fold beyond these, 

 one in disc before middle, one near dorsum beneath this, one on fold beyond these, one 

 towards costa at § , one in disc at y, two beneath this obliquely before and beyond it 

 respectively, and a curved series of four towards apex ; eight irregular black dots round 

 termen and apex, on extremities of veins 2 — 9 : cilia grey, basal half pale whitish-grey, 

 tips whitish. Hindwings with 5 and 6 nearly approximated at base ; ocbreous-yellow ; 

 a blackish-grey apical patch extending over about \ of wing, not nearly reaching cell ; 

 cilia pale ochreous-yellow, round apex and upper part of termen dark grey. 



Dennis Island, Seychelles (Fryer) ; Coetivy ; in August and September, six 

 specimens. Also four others received from Mr T. B. Fletcher. This species, belonging 

 to a puzzling group of which the members are extremely similar, appears nearest the 

 Hawaiian E. colonella Wals., which is itself regarded by Lord Walsingham as probably 

 introduced there ; it differs by the apical patch of hindwings not being angularly 

 produced to reach cell, and the presence of eight (not seven) terminal black dots of 

 forewings.
