is round, in a whitish ring like the reniform macula which is below pupilled blackish; the subterminal row of 
dots is only traceable. Hindwing whitish, in the marginal area tinted ochreous. Known from Arizona. 
E. hueco Barnes (20 d). Forewing whitish-yellow, suffused with a deep red, with white transverse 
lines bordered with a deep red on the averted sides, and red maculae in white rings; the dentate undulate 
line is on both sides bordered with red, behind it the veins of the marginal area are striped red. Arizona. 
E. diplogramma Schs. (= inquisita Dyar ) (20 e), like the following, exhibits a somewhat produced apex 
and slightly concave distal margin of the forewing which is yellowish-white, in the proximal part dusted with 
purple brownish, the veins marked darker brown; only traces of the transverse lines marked by dots; between 
the maculae marked by dots there is an olive-brownish, faint median line which is flawed in an acute angle 
at the lower angle of the cell; the straight undulate line parts the apex, it then becomes double and exhibits 
in front minute sagittae. Hindwing diaphanous whitish, with brownish veins and margin. Mexico. Probably 
also Morissonia albidior B. & McD. (p. 155) belongs hereto. 
E. euryte Drc. (20 d). Forewing slightly reddish, at the costal margin white, scantily strewn with 
black, with white, in the costal part dark striped veins; transverse lines only traceable, the posterior line 
marked by black dots on the veins, farther below accompanied by a dark shade, the apex parted by a dark 
line; the ring-macula is a small, whitish circle with a ferruginous red dot in the centre, the reniform macula 
has the shape of a sand-glass, and is above and below marked black; instead of the undulate line there is 
a row of faint dots. Hindwing brownish-grey with yellowish fringes. Distributed from Costa Rica to Brazil. 
Sect. III. <$ antennae ciliated. 
E. rhodotrichia Hmps. (20 d) is in the 3 distinguished by long pink hair-tufts on each side of the 
abdominal base and by downward hairing on the under surface of both wings almost as far as the margin, 
the femora and tibiae being covered with long pink hair, the forewings being red-brown, suffused with pink, 
with rather indistinct transverse lines, and behind the strongly dentate distal line with dots on the veins; 
maculae finely encircled with brown, the undulate line marked by a very faint shade. Hindwing yellowish 
brownish-grey. Brazil. 
E. pallescens Schs. (20 e) in its exterior is somewhat like euryte (20 d), but it differs by thick red- pallesccns. 
brown hair-tufts on the femora of the 3 and long, yellow, downward hairing on the under surface of the 
forewing in the disc, and by lateral red-brown hair-tufts on the base of the abdomen. Forewing quite light 
brownish pink with hardly traceable transverse lines, the posterior line replaced by dots on the veins, only 
the undidate line being somewhat more distinct and double; instead of the ring-macula a black dot, the reni¬ 
form macula is reddish, above and below with small black spots. Hindwing brownish. From Brazil to Paraguay. 
E. fuscibarbata Hmps. (20 c). This species and the 4 next species have thick hair-tufts only on the fuscibarba- 
rniddle femora and tibiae, at the abdominal base very long hair-tufts, long hair on the sides of the abdomen, ta - 
and within the cell of the forewing beneath silky, downward hair. Forewing yellowish-grey, dusted with red- 
brown, with rather indistinct double transverse lines, the distal part of the posterior lines dotted; the large 
maculae are in light rings, the reniform macula with a concavity towards the base; the dark undulate line is 
edged with a lighter colour towards the margin. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. Brazil. 
E. vinobarbata Hmps. (20 e). Forewing grey, suffused with a reddish or purple brown; the anterior vinobarbata. 
transverse line is double, the posterior line finely dentate, distally grey with a row of black dots on the 
veins. The maculae are pupilled brown, in indistinct light rings, the reniform macula narrow, below filled 
up with black; the light undulate line is proximally edged with dark, the apex parted by an oblique black 
streak. The light hindwing is brownish on the margin and veins. Ecuador. 
E. melanogaster Gn. (20 f). The yellowish grey forewing is dusted with purple brown, on the veins melanoyas- 
and costal margin strewn somewhat darker; the transverse lines are on the averted sides bordered with ter - 
whitish, behind the distal line black and white dots on the veins; the large maculae are encircled with whitish, 
the straight whitish undulate line is proximally bordered with brown. Hind wing reddish-brown. Brazil. 
E. secedens Schs. (20 f). The red-brown forewing is dusted with purple pink, with indistinct, yellowish secedcns. 
transverse lines with black dots on the veins behind the distal line; the large maculae are in yellowish rings, 
the yellowish undulate line is proximally bordered with brown. Hindwing yellowish brownish-grey. Brazil, 
Bolivia. 
E. excavata Hmps. (20 g). Forewing grey, strewn with red-brown and scantily with black, the trans- excavata. 
verse lines rather indistinct, on the averted sides bordered with grey, behind the distal line with blackish 
streaks on the veins interrupted by grey; the large maculae are in grey rings, the reniform macula is towards 
the base concave; the grey undulate line is proximally bordered with a brownish red. Hindwing brownish- 
grey. Brazil, Ecuador. 
E. lamptera Drc. (20 e). The 3 has the same sexual marks, but beneath it shows hair also in the cell lampteru. 
of the hindwing, the basal abdominal tufts being absent. Forewing red-brown, tinted olive at the costal 
margin, with almost straight transverse lines; the dark maculae in light rings; the undulate line marked by 
minute dark sagittae. Hindwing diaphanous white, the costal margin, proximal margin and veins greyish- 
brown. From Mexico to Paraguay.
