E. marmoratum Btlr. (= flavofasciatum Moschl.) (25 c) on the forewings is on the whole similarly 
marked as the following, but of a darker colouring, dark brownish-grey. From Guiana to the Amazon. — 
f. atratum Bothsch. is still much darker, sooty brownish-black. -— Venezuela. 
E. simile nom. nov. ( = tessellatum Bothsch. nec Schaus) differs from marmoratum by the smaller 
size and narrower forewings, the shoulder-covers being light yellowish-grey bordered with brownish-black, 
not dark grey with black stripes; the whole thorax is yellowish-grey, not dark grey, of the same colour are the 
forewings; the veins are dark brown, the antemedian dentate line is only visible at the proximal margin; 
an irregular, dark brown oblique band extends from the costa to the proximal angle, at the apex there are 
2 brown bands. Length of forewings: 18 mm. Venezuela; Surinam; Colombia. 
E. complicatum Btlr. (25 c) resembles flavicaput on the forewings, the marking is somewhat finer, 
but the abdomen is quite different: orange-yellow, with a triangular, blackish-brown basal spot and black 
terminal segment, on the ventral side whitish-yellow. From Brazil (Amazon); before me also from East 
Colombia (Rio Negro) and Bolivia. 
E. albidius Bothsch. is much larger than the preceding. Head whitish grey with orange spots. Thorax 
whitish with narrow sooty black margins. The abdomen is blackish-grey and exhibits only on the 2 last 
rings above a large orange spot. Forewings creamy white with 3 irregular, transverse zigzag lines, veins and 
a discal spot of a sooty-brown colour. Hindwings sooty-grey with darker veins. The $ has more grey forewings 
and a lighter disc of the hindwing. Length of forewings: 27 mm. Amazon (Fonte Boa; Manaos; Rio cle 
Janeiro). 
E. compositum spec. nov. (25 d) combines the characters of complicatum and pyrozonum, the mar¬ 
kings in the basal part of the forewing being like in the former, in the marginal area like in the latter. Body 
light greyish-brown, with darker markings, abdomen like in complicatum. 1 the patria not being stated, 
in the Coll. Seitz. 
E. amadis Schaus (25 d), from Mexico (Coatepec, Misantla) and Colombia, is on the forewings coloured 
and marked almost exactly like latifascium Wh\, only somewhat darker, the head and thorax unicolorously 
deep blackish-brown, the hindhead exhibiting two orange-yellow spots. The abdomen except a large, triangu¬ 
lar, blackish-brown spot at the base and the black apex, is ochreous-yellow, which colour is separated from 
the ventral surface being somewhat lighter by a blackish-brown lateral stripe. 
E. tripunctatum Druce (25 d) looks very much like myrtusa Bruce , except being somewhat smaller, 
but owing to the ground-colour being somewhat lighter, reddish-brown, the 3 black spots at the base, below 
the cell-end and before the apex are more prominent. The abdomen is ochreous-yellow with a large, triangu¬ 
lar, black spot at the base, rows of black dots across the dorsum and at the sides and black anal apex. 
Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama. 
E. velutinum Schaus (25 e) has light brown, darker dotted forewings with single, darker, small spots; 
from the middle radial vein to the proximal angle extends an indistinct line growing much broader here; the 
hindwings are blackish-brown. The abdomen is at the base blackish-brown, otherwise orange with black 
dorsal and lateral spots, the venter whitish. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
E. striatum Druce (25 e) is a species well characterized by the peculiar shape of the wings: the 
long-extended forewing is strongly bent at the costal margin towards the apex, below the lower radial begins 
a concave indentation of the distal margin. Yellowish white, tinted olive, with blackish-brown veins and 
longitudinal markings. More prominently white longitudinal streaks are below the lower median and above 
the middle radial vein. Hindwings light grey transparent. Abdomen blackish-brown with ochreous-yellow spots 
growdng larger towards the anus on the sides of the 5 last segments. Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, 
Brazil. — subsp. pallescens Bothsch. from Parana, is of a much paler colour, the markings less distinct and 
partly vanished. 
E. perstriatum Hmps. is extremely near to the preceding and differs chiefly by its entirely dark 
brown abdomen with subdorsal and sublateral yellow spots only on the 2 last rings; the 3 first rings exhibit 
beneath hairy, white spots. On the forewings the transverse lines are more distinctly prominent. Expanse 
of wings: 44 mm. South East Peru. 
E. reniferum Hmps. (25 f). The anterior body is grey, spotted and striped black, the neck yellow; 
the orange-yellow abdomen shows a large, triangular, blackish-brown basal spot, black lateral stripes and 
anal apex; venter white. The forewings are light grey with black veins and strongly bent transverse lines; 
at the transverse vein there is a large, brown spot with a lighter pupil, expanding still more below the 
cell. Hindwings blackish-brown. Amazon. Pebas. 
E. coenobita Moschl. (25 d) approximates the following species, but it is darker on the whole; head 
and thorax are quite blackish-brown, only the upper part of the forehead and a transverse band behind 
the collar are white. The abdomen is browner, the 2 last rings above quite orange. The black spots on
