 agree. Expanse of wings, d 41-47 millim., ? 66 millim.

(S . Allied to E. subdita. Fox-brown, tinted with pink : basal area of primaries crossed 

 by about six parallel indistinct greyish lines (only visible when examined from the side) ; a 

 dark wavy central stripe, wide on costa, very oblique and almost straight from costa to lower 

 radial vein ; two regularly crinkled lines parallel to the central stripe beyond the middle ; the 

 commencement of two other barely visible lines beyond the latter ; two parallel, nearly 

 straight, dark grey lines across the disc; two subapical, grey, ocelloid spots and a faint 

 indication of the usual submarginal line : secondaries with three scarcely visible, parallel, central, 

 wavj' lines ; two grey parallel lines across the disc and the usual submarginal line, but 

 indistinct ; head and collar ochraceous. Under surface with all the markings excepting the 

 two discal lines obsolete. Expanse of wings 90 millim. 

 Dharmsala ; on a wall. 



Although at first sight this species might be taken for a pale example of E. cupreipennis 

 an examination of the markings on the wings and the colouring of the head and collar show 

 it to be more nearly related to E. subdita ; it is, however, quite distinct from any species in 

 the Museum scries.

 coloured to the primaries or only a little paler; the whitish band on the primaries narrow, 

 the veins beyond the band whiti>h ; the fringe cream-coloured as on the primaries : the 

 thorax is creamy whitish, with a large patch of reddish chocolate on the tegulic; the abdomen
