outwardly edged by dark grey, and met by an oblique black shade from below apex; a row of contiguous 

 black lunules before termen; renifonu stigma with inner half a blackish limulc, the outer half paler, the whole 

 somewhat obscured by a diffuse bluish median shade; hindwing rich deep orange, with sinuous black median 

 band constricted at vein 5 and a sinuous-edged terminal border, containing a large orange apical blotch and 

 a shallow blotch on subniedian fold. Changhai Mis.. Siberia. Amurland. The perfect insecl rests on rocks 

 overgrown with moss. 



E. intacta Lctvli. Forewing whitish grey dusted with darker: basal area darkest, edged by the inner intacta. 

 arm of the oblique wavy double inner line, the outer arm of which is thickened and black from cosla to 

 subniedian fold, then linear; outer line double, finer, angulated on vein 6, then dentate lunulale, with a long 

 sinuous inward projection to middle below reniform, and a sharp angulation above inner margin; renifonu 

 stigma placed in a dark costal triangle; terminal third darker grey; subterminal line dark edged with pale grey; 

 hindwing pale straw colour sull'used in basal half with olive fuscous; a narrow curved median band, angled 

 on the folds, and a broader, nearly terminal, border black; the apex and extreme termen pale; veins in outer 

 half of wing blackish. Said to be allied to ella Btlr., from which it is at once distinguished by the pale grey 

 forewing and straw coloured hindwing and underside. Described from a single cf from Nagahama, Japan; 

 in the Tring Museum are two ??, simply labelled Japan. 



E. streckeri Stgr. (63 c). A small species somewhat intermediate between conversa Esp. and eutychea Tr. streckeri. 

 Forewing blackish grey, dusted with whitish; inner and outer lines black; the inner oblique, outwardly curved 

 and inwardly dentate on veins: the outer angled at vein 6 outwardly and on vein 1 inwardly, vertically 

 dentate between: reniform dark with black centre and outline: the spot below it heart-shaped, white; hindwing 

 pale luteous yellowish; terminal border broad, enclosing a yellowish apical patch; median band bent at middle 

 and diffused towards base. From the Ussuri district, Amurland. 



E. ella Btlr. (57 a). Forewing pale bluish grey, dusted with blackish, especially in the median area, ella. 

 which is in some instances suffused with blackish ; inner line thickly black, outwardly curved ; outer line black, 

 forming two nearly equal teeth above and below vein 5, then irregularly and vertically dentate; submarginal 

 line diffuse, pale blue grey, preceded and followed by a dark grey shade; reniform stigma dark-centred, with 

 pale grey outline: the spot below it pale with black edging; median shade diffuse, dark grey, sometimes developing 

 into a large black suffusion; hindwing orange yellow; the terminal border broad with lunulate dentate inner 

 edge: median band broad, complete, meeting a broad diffuse olive fuscous shade from base along submedian 

 fold and inner margin, the orange areas often small and restricted; fringe chequered black and white, wholly 

 white at apex and beyond subniedian fold ; — the form nutrix Graes. (57 a) is darker, generally with more black nutrix. 

 suffusion in the forewing; the hindwing with the orange spaces restricted and towards base below cell discoloured 

 with olive fuscous; the terminal border broad. The paler, and generally larger type form from Japan and 

 China; the darker nutrix from Amurland, the examples from the Ussuri district having the yellow of the 

 hindwing still more restricted and the median band broader than the rest; Japanese forms appear liable to 

 even greater aberration; for while specimens from Oiwake are quite as dark as the darkest Ussuri forms, in 

 some cases even with the yellow of the hindwings diffusely blurred and dull; — a single specimen from Yokohama, 

 ab. tenuivitta ab. nov. (57 a), has the median band of hindwing quite narrow and scarcely reaching inner tenuuitla. 

 margin, with the yellow areas consequently much ampler, and the base of wing without any fuscous suffusion 

 below middle. 



E. hetaera Stgr. ( 63b). Resembles praegnax Walk., but smaller and slighter in build; forewing blackish grey, helaera. 

 thickly irrorated with pale grey; inner line more oblique, somewhat waved, thick, not edged with light; outer 

 line as in praegnax, forming a strong double angle on vein 5 and one inwards on vein 1 ; reniform stigma 

 small, faint, slightly paler-edged, the cell before it paler; spot below it rhomboidal, whitish, dark-edged; 

 subterminal line pale, edged outwardly with a series of dark wedge-shaped spots; a row of dark pale-tipped 

 spots before termen: hindwing as in praegnax. S. Ussuri district, Amurland. 



E. puella Leech. Forewing grey brown; inner line black, indented; outer line black, oblique outwards puella. 

 to vein G, then curved inwards to near vein 2, then inwards and upwards to below reniform stigma, thence 

 to inner margin, making an acute angle externally on vein 1; subterminal line dark, wavy; a row of dark 

 terminal lunules; reniform stigma indistinct; hindwing pale yellowish orange, with broad blackish terminal 

 border, shewing a splash of yellow at apex; median black band curved and interrupted below costa; a black 

 streak from base along submedian fold. Described from a single cf from Gensan, Corea. 



E. flavescens Hmps. Forewing yellowish grey with blackish irroration; lines black; the inner oblique and flavescens. 

 waved; the outer irregularly dentate below vein 5, above which it is angled outwards; the reniform stigma 

 pale and indistinct, beneath a fuscous costal patch: a line of terminal lunules edged by ochreous spots; hindwing
