'I'ongue present but sliort. Palpi moderate (slightly over 1), porreet, hairy; 

 terminal joint minute. Antennae with a spreading anterior tuft from first joint, 

 bipectinated in both sexes, apex simple. Thorax with an acute anterior crest. 

 Posterior tibiae with two pairs of spurs. Porewings with an incision preceded 

 by a large tuft of scales on dorsal margin; areole long and very narrow, 6 from 

 upper angle of cell or from areole, 7 from end or near end of areole, 8, 9, 10 

 stalked from areole, or 10 closely approximated at origin. Hindwing-s with 12 

 approximated to cell to three-fourths. 



Type, E. strigosa Wlk. from Java. 



An Oriental genus of which one species has reached Australia. It is our 

 only representative of a large section of the family distinguished by the presence 

 of a dorsal tuft of scales on the forewing.

Rothschild's name for this fine species is unfortunately chosen. Both sexes, 

 which differ markedly, are closely similar to argentifera Wlk., but differ in an-
