$. Wing, io'5-I2*5 mm. Vertex and frons white. Base of antennae with few black scales. 

 Labial palps upturned, reaching above vertex, third segment approximately equal to second. 

 Thorax very pale brown. Hind tibia with outer spur of distal pair slightly more than 1/2 

 length of inner spur. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 17, fig. 90, greyish white, with slightly darker 

 patches, white apical marks with brown scales subapically. Underside of fore wing with reddish 

 brown colour anterior to cell, black scales along veins. Two oval patches (only faintly visible 

 on upperside), outer patch darker than inner patch, under fore wing. Prominent white, slightly 

 "L"-shaped subapical line. Hind wing, colour as fore wing, brown patch in hind part of median 

 area. Underside paler. Sc+R x and Rs free. 



Genitalia $ (PI. 63, fig. 400). Anal papillae short. Ostium covered with small spines. 

 Narrow sclerotized portion of duct near ostium. No signum. Neck of duct and bursa covered 

 with minute spines (fig. 400 shows prominent mark along one side of bursa, this is an artifact due 

 to the folding of the bursa) .

Discussion. The underside wing pattern is characteristic of this species. Only 

 two female specimens are known, the type is not a male as stated in the original 

 description. The labial palps are long, 2| x diameter of the eye. Externally this 

 species is similar to E. vocata Whalley but lacks the fusion of the radial veins found 

 in that species. The white streak at the apex of the fore wing is very distinct. 

 Neither of the two known specimens of this species gives information on the 

 localities and even the generic placing is tentative.
