marginal area is more densely dusted over and more yellowish. It occurs from Mexico to Panama and in the 
West Indies (Jamaica, Haiti, St. Lucia and Grenada). 
E. chromatica Schs. Thorax and abdomen violet-brown, collar with 2 white lines. Forewings dark 
brown on costa and at inner margin, basal area with ochreous brown spots. Distally of the partially double 
anterior transverse line there is a wide white costal streak to centre of cell, that extends as a white line to the 
reniform stigma. Median nervure and branches 2—4 white; disc brown partially dusted with red with a white 
spot above vein 1. Centre of inner margin yellow-white and red. The longish reniform stigma is red and is 
partly edged with white. Posterior transverse line is white with black inner edge and distally of it there is a 
white line obliquely from costa to vein 7, thence with undulate dentations to 2 and from there extending as a 
black-brown shade to inner margin. A reddish subapical triangular spot has a white edge. At the silvery white 
marginal line 3 black spots between apex and vein 5. Marginal area black-brown in lower half with an ochreous 
yellow shade between 3 and the inner margin. Hindwings white in basal half, black-brown at margin, red 
towards the anal angle with white dentate line between 3 and the inner margin. Wing expanse: 30 mm. Guate¬ 
mala (Cayuga). 
E. cuprea Mschlr. (= chrysotermina Hmps.) (55 a). Forewings deep fuscous, suffused with grey in 
basal costal half, marginal area below vein 6 widely golden yellow dusted with red. The indistinct transverse 
lines are dark grey, the posterior line being double below the cell. Subterminal white in apical area, below 
yellow and indistinct. Hindwings pure white with wide fulvous marginal band enclosing a yellow subterminal. 
From Porto Rico and French Guiana. 
E. albisecta Dgn. (55 b) is a smaller, insignificant species. Forewings grey-brown, admixed with whit¬ 
ish, a longitudinal white band on the discal fold to the postmedian. The narrow oblique band from before 
centre of inner margin is white with a double blackish antemedian anteriorly. The posterior transverse line 
white with inner golden yellow edge in costal area. Posteriorly a dark brown costal triangular mark. The 
subterminal is whitish, the apical area dusted with grey distally of it. Hindwings semi-transparent white with 
dark brown marginal band. Argentine (Tucuman). 
E. albocristafa Breyer. This is related to albisecta; palpi grey with black and fuscous spots. Thorax 
with long grey hairs with iridescent violet sheen. The 4th abdominal segment with a long white opalescent 
brush-like tuft. Forewings brown admixed with white, markings otherwise like albisecta with whitish apical 
spot. Hindwings transparent white, reddish black at outer margin. Misiones, Iguazu (Argentine). 
E. apithana Dyar. (55 b). This also somewhat resembles albisecta, but it is a still more monotonous grey- 
brown with 2 indistinct whitish transverse lines and with a coppery shining spot behind the whitish edged reniform 
stigma. Subterminal white and only distinct towards the costa and before it in apical area a very oblique dark 
brown triangular spot, behind which the apex is somewhat dusted with grey. Hindwings semi-transparent white 
with very wide dusky brown marginal band and large discal spot. Mexico (Guerrero, Tabasco, Chiapas). 
E. auratrix Wkr. (= nattereri Fldr.). Body brown with violaceous grey admixture. Forewings dark 
brown, dusted with grey. The dark anterior transverse line with whitish edges on both sides, acutely 
angulated on mediana. Reniform stigma narrow, black with white circumscription. Distally 2 small dark 
brown spots and posterior to the upper one a reddish yellow spot. In centre a white line edged on both sides 
with brown from the discal fold to inner margin, the area behind with violaceous hue. Behind the fine white 
postmedian there is an oblique chocolate-brown cuneiform spot from costa to vein 6, with a fine white sub¬ 
terminal line beyond. Hindwings semi-transparent white, brown on costa and in the cell with a black-brown 
marginal band dusted with violaceous; a postmedian is indicated and there are 2 streaks at inner margin and 
an oblique white streak below vein 2. Mexico to Brazil (Amazona, Espiritu Santo). 
E. inconstrictrix Schs. is related to auratrix, but is darker and with unconstricted reniform stigma. 
Dark chocolate-brown scarcely, or not at all, shaded with red, occasionally with a small spot behind the brown 
discal spot. Anterior transverse .line white, delicate, the posterior line similar approximating boldly towards 
the anterior line below the mediana. From apex at costa a dark brown cuneiform spot with white outline; the 
white lines conjoin at margin. Subterminal scarcely indicated, with an oblique brown spot distally over the 
corner of wing. Hindwings more blackish, white basally at inner margin to below the discal spot. Wing ex¬ 
panse: 27—29 mm. Costa Rica (Juan Vinas, Tuis). 
E. maryna Schs. Head and collar dark grey, the latter with a chestnut red edge, scapulae show the 
same colour. Abdomen olive-grey, tufts and anal brush reddish. Forewings reddish yellow peppered with 
black on costa and in cell. Inner marginal area and postmedian dark brown with an orange-brownish spot 
before the antemedian. In centre of cell a black triangular mark with yellowish edge; at end of cell a black- 
brown quadrate spot. Reniform stigma with delicate black outline. The double posterior transverse line 
is black-brown, extending vertically to inner margin and at top edged outwardly with white, below with 
lavendar-grey. Marginal area dark brown, contracting towards the anal angle. Subterminal white, angulated 
to margin on vein 6. Hindwings white in basal half, widely brown at margin with heavy discal streak. Wing- 
expanse: 29 mm. Brazil, Rio cle Janeiro, Itatiaya. 
E. pyrastls Hm'ps. (55 b). Forewings fuscous, chocolate-brown in basal area below costal part; a yellow 
spot on inner margin distally of antemedian, marginal veins streaked with white, an oblique dark streak from 
chromatica.
