2 . Fore wiugs straw-colour, with a yellow suffusion, sprinkled 

 pretty thickly with round dark atoms ; 1st and 2nd lines black, 

 exactly like those of E. hymenaria ; ocelloid cell-spot obsolete 

 above, with a vertical black costal spot exactly above it, whereas 

 in E. hymenaria this spot is obliquelj^ nearer the base ; a dark 

 blackish smoky suffusion occupies the whole apical portion of the 

 wing, except the extrem^e apex itself ; the edge of the suffusion 

 running obliquely from the costa at the origin of the 2nd line to 

 the hind margin shortly above the anal angle. Hind wings like 

 fore wings, with the apical portion only slightly and diffusely 

 smoky. The whole of the wing-surface much clearer yellow, and 

 not dusted and suffused with smoky bluish-grey atoms and shades 

 as in E. hymenaria. Underside clear white, \^ith dark grey 

 mottlings, and the smoky apical suffusion of the upperside exactly 

 reproduced in black. (In hymenaria the disk of both wings is 

 suffused ^^■ith cinereous, and the margins have a broad black 

 fascia.) Head and thorax dark mottled ; abdomen yellowish, with 

 blackish markings above on each segment ; clear yellowish below. 



Expanse of wings 80 millim.
