termen slightly bowed, slightly oblique; white without 

 ochreous tinge; a few scattered blackish scales and a blackish 

 discal dot beyond middle; lines grey; first from J dorsum, 

 obsolete towards costa; second from mid-costa, irregularly 

 dentate, curving inwards in a short incomplete circle round 

 ■discal dot, ending on mid-dorsum; third from | costa, finely 

 dentate, nearly straight, to f dorsum; fourth subterminal; 

 fifth slender, submarginal; an interrupted terminal line; 

 -cilia whitish. Hindwings with termen strongly rounded; as 

 forewings but without first line; discal dot before middle, 

 minute or absent. 



Very similar to E. chloristis, but Meyrick states that the 

 posterior tarsi of male in this species are J; also to E. poly- 

 gramma; but Lower states that in this the discal dot of 

 forewings is just anterior to median line.
