E. rubripuncta Schs. (21 f) has almost the whole costal-marginal area of the forewing beneath covered rubripunc- 
with hair being turned downwards, whilst the median which is continued towards the anal angle as a bent row, 
is covered with short hair being turned upwards, the hindwings exhibiting a very similar arrangement. Fore¬ 
wing chestnut-brown, with indistinct single transverse lines, the posterior line dentate, and with a small, ver¬ 
milion reniform macula, which is white in the form: pseudostigma Dyar (21 e); instead of the undulate line pseudosiig- 
very small black sagittae. Hindwing brownish-grey. Mexico and Costa Rica. ma 
E. confluens Hmps. (= agnata Drc.) (21 e). Costal margin as in rubripuncta, but the cell of the forewing confluens. 
with loose hair being turned downwards, the basal half of the hindwing covered with rough hair. Forewing 
blackish-brown, dusted with silvery purple, with a black basal ray and cell and with black internerval streaks 
behind it; transverse lines double, filled up with reddish; the small maculae are below connected; the undulate 
line is proximally bordered with small black sagittae. Hindwing yellowish-brown. Guatemala, Costa Rica. 
E. volcania Schs. Forewing dark brown with a silky lustre, dusted with steel-grey, at the distal margin volcania. 
with a bronze lustre, with fine, deep dark brown transverse lines, the posterior line dentate; also the maculae 
are surrounded with dark brown, the reniform macula is bronze-coloured; the dark subterminal line is undulate. 
Hindwing brownish-grey with a silky lustre. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Costa Rica (Volcano of Turrialba). 
E. augur Zerny. Forewing yellowisli-grey with a silky lustre, scantily strewn with a bluish white, augur. 
with dark brown transverse lines, the posterior line being double; the maculae are large, yellowish-brown, 
pupilled grey, the reniform macula above distally expanded, below distally with a fine white dot. Undulate 
line yellowish, proximally broadly bordered with dark brown. Hindwing grey, towards the base lighter. Ex¬ 
panse of wings: 35 mm. Described according to 1 $ from Bolivia (Cuesta de Cillutincara). 
E. melanops Dyar (21 e) has dark ash-grey forewings with a deep black ring-macula and reniform melanops. 
macula; the transverse lines are rather indistinctly double, the anterior line with a small black coniform macula, 
the distal one in the distal segment dentate with short streaks on the veins behind it; the marginal area is 
darker with the light narrow undulate line therein. The grey hindwing is brightened up towards the base. Mexico 
(Zacualpan) in August. 
E. cracerdota Dyar (21 e) in its exterior is very similar to the smaller light forms of the lanaris-crenulata cracerdota. 
group (20 h, i). Forewing grey with a brownish tint, with whitish, almost straight transverse lines being on 
the sides facing each other bordered with a darker colour, the posterior line behind the cell sharply angled with 
a row of quadrangular, blackish-brown small spots behind it; the maculae are represented by large whitish 
rings, the ring-macula is oblique, the reniform macula distally concave; the distinct white undulate line runs 
straight. Hindwing brownish-grey with darker veins. Mexico (Zucualpan), August till October. 
E. cachia Schs. is allied to the following infirma (21 f). Forewing light brown, subterminally dusted cacliia. 
grey, with fine, black, double transverse lines being filled up with a lighter colour, before the anterior line a 
submedian black dot, the posterior line above angular, then straight, followed by a double row of dots; the 
undulate line is double, too; in the median area there is an undulate black median shade; on the margin 
a light lunular line with black dots between the veins. Hindwing brownish-grey with light fringes. Expanse 
of wings: 32 mm. Costa Rica (Cachi). 
E. infirnia Gn. (21 f) exhibits, like the large following group as far as marginalis inclusively, on the infirma. 
forewing beneath few long hair turned downwards in the cell. Forewing light greyish-brown with dark transverse 
stripes being bordered with light grey on the averted sides, and black, white-dotted streaks on the veins behind 
the distal transverse stripe; the large, obliquely elliptic maculae are in light rings, the undulate line is light. 
Hindwing white with brownish veins and margin. The $ is of a purer brown and exhibits darker brown hindwings. 
Brazil, Paraguay. 
E. evanida Schs. is light brownish Isabel-coloured, head and collar in front almost white, the forewing evanida. 
with fine black transverse lines, the posterior line forming deep bows between the veins, being dotted on the 
veins; ring-macula and reniform macula yellowish-white, the latter traversed by a faint brownish shade; the 
undulate line is still somewhat lighter; at the anal angle a dark marginal line. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. 
Expanse of wings: 29 mm. From Costa Rica (Volcano of Poas). 
E. pantostigma Dyar (21 f) is on the forewing ochreous-brown varying in all shades to chestnut-brown pantoslig- 
and blackish-brown, with indistinct, black, double transverse lines, and dots on the veins on the posterior line 
and a dark median shade; the maculae are filled up with black, the undulate line is black, undulate, beginning 
with a blackish costal-marginal spot; the extreme marginal area is blackened. Hindwing brownish-grey with 
reddish fringes. Mexico (Zacualpan) in July. 
E. ratelusia Dyar. Forewing dark grey with a violet tint with a broad black median shade extending raielusia. 
to the black-filled reniform macula, and with dentate, black, extinct transverse lines; behind the distal line 
a row of white dots; behind the irregular undulate line the marginal area is subcostally and in the lower half 
shaded with black; the ring-macula is indistinctly darker. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 
29 mm. Mexico (Zacualpan) in May. 
E. violascens Schs. (21 e). Forewing light purple reddish strewn with dark and rather indistinct double violascens.
