E. vesquesa Dyar is larger, more robust than the preceding, the downward turned hair on the forewing 
beneath reach yet to below the cell; with coarser and more angular transverse lines; the $ anal tufts are 
also less developed, without any lighter hairs therein; the marginal area of the forewing is somewhat lighter, 
with a distinctly dentate, light marginal line. The forewing is comparatively dark. Expanse of wings: 35 to 
40 mm. From Mexico, Central America, Venezuela. 
E. oache Dyar is smaller, greyer, less brightly coloured, the distal transverse line forms a less acute 
angle below the costal margin, otherwise the markings are the same as in vesquesa. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. 
Described from Peru. 
E. ultimella Dyar (23 a) is likewise small, light greyish-brown, lustrous, the markings less prominent, 
therefore difficult to find out, but the same as in the preceding, the dentate marginal line is absent altogether. 
The hindwing exhibits a lighter, dull brown, in the disc almost whitish. Expanse of wings: 28 to 34 mm. Brazil 
(Rio de Janeiro and Castro Parana). 
E. loliopopa Dyar (20 f) is strikingly similar to the preceding in the exterior, but at once discernible 
from them by the presence of a large coniform macula being encircled with light, which is absent in all the 
similar forms. Forewing brownish-grey, otherwise marked the same as in the preceding; the marginal area 
looks somewhat darker than the rest of the wing owing to its being more densely strewn with brown, and 
the whitish undulate line is very distinct therein; the brown marginal line is not dentate, but in a speckled 
way crossed by the lighter ends of the veins. Hindwing of a dingy yellowish-white, on the margin and veins 
darker brownish-grey. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
E. croceifinibria sp. n. (23 a) is distinguished by a small patch of the hairy cover of the forewing being 
contrastingly lustrous reddish-yellow right after the rise of the lower median branch. Above the <$ is light 
copper-red, the $ more greyish-brown with a slight coppery tint, the costal margin is strewn with black with 
the two very strong black middle transverse stripes crossed by the veins, behind the distal one with short 
black streaks on the veins, before the proximal one with a black, submedian dot; both the upper maculae are 
coloured like the ground and very finely encircled with a light yellowish colour, the reniform macula is very 
slightly blackened on the median; the fine, somewhat lighter undulate line is proximally shaded with a darker 
colour. Hindwing yellowish, at the margin broadly smoky, in the $ monotonously brownish-grey. Described 
according to 1 couple from the Senckenberg Museum without a statement of the patria. 
E. jamaicensis Hmps. (20 k) in the hairing of the wings beneath entirely resembles crenulata (20 i); the 
greyish-brown forewing is dusted with purple-reddish and strewn with blackish; the anterior transverse line is 
undulate, not straight, the large maculae are contiguous below, the reniform macula is strangulated in the middle, 
behind it black dusting extends to the distal transverse line behind which black streaks on the veins are situate, 
interrupted by white. Hindwing yellowish-white, on the veins and margin brownish. Known from Jamaica. 
E. brachia Joan. (20 k) is a smaller species with remarkably short and broad fore wings, the abdomen 
densely covered with woolly hair, and very long hair on the proximal margin of the hindwing and downward 
hair on the under surface of the forewing. The grey forewing is dusted with red-brown and somewhat strewn 
with black, with double transverse lines filled up with whitish and a row of black dots behind the distal line; 
the somewhat triangular ring-macula touches with its distal apex the centre of the reniform macula; the 
yellowish undulate line is on both sides bordered by red-brown. Hindwing brownish-grey, towards the base 
lighter. Organ Mountains. 
E. rhadata Drc. (20 i) and the 4 following species have a woolly hairing of the body and anal tuft 
and an entire margin of the wings, whilst the under surface of the wings does not show any abnormal hairing 
nor scaling. Forewing dark olive-brown, suffused with a silvery purple colour, with double, deeper black trans¬ 
verse lines, rather inconspicuous maculae encircled with a darker olive-brown and a median shade; of the very 
indistinct undulate line only a reddish-brownish or also greyish-white spot is conspicuous at the anal angle. 
Hindwing blackish-brown, in the disc whitish. Mexico to Costa Rica. 
E. christa Wkr. (= orophila Drc., obscurus Dogn., infernalis Schs.) (21 a) is a common species very 
much like rhadata, but more monotonous, with a single transverse line. Mexico to Ecuador; Jamaica. 
E. stygia Dogn. Forewing deep red-brown with equally coloured markings fading away in the ground: 
undulate anterior and posterior transverse lines, a flawed median shade, an oblique ring-macula tapering off 
towards the base, and a quadrangular reniform macula; subterminally between the veins lighter small spots 
pupilled ochreous-yellowish, at the anal angle a larger spot; marginal area and proximal margin somewhat 
more reddish. Hindwing blackish with lighter fringes. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. South East Peru (Cara- 
baya), Ecuador. 
E. desiota Dyar. Forewing deep purple black, a small spot in the base of the cell, the bordering of 
the maculae and the marginal area dull bronze coloured, with blackish transverse lines: the proximal one single, 
composed of 3 bows, the distal one indistinctly double, dentate; from the reniform distal macula a faint median 
shade extends towards the proximal margin. Hindwing blackish-brown, in the disc lighter with a dark discal 
spot and veins. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Mexico (Hidalgo). 
E. tebota Dyar is larger than the very similar preceding species, more violettish blackish, the marginal 
area and the maculae like there blackish-bronze; the transverse lines are distinct, of a deep black, behind the
