Harp symmetrical, slender, tapering, but very faintly scobinate toward apices; apices hooked; viewed ventrally 
and unspread harpes no longer than tegumen to base of uncus; uncus deeply bifurcate, rather long; anellus 
a semichitinous simple tubular support fusing with the strongly arched transtilla; aedoagus very stout (about 
half as broad as long), straight apex strongly chitinized and produced into a short stout right angular hook; 
cornuti a dense cluster of heavy spines. (Slide made and described by C. Heinrich.) 
E. captiosa sp. n. Dravdt (73 a) belongs to the same group; Antennae drab, head and collar yellowish- 
white, body white, abdomen with light buff dorsal stripe. Wings thinly scaled, white, veins and discocellulars 
drab on both wings. Underneath apex of forewings suffused with drab. Type one from Rio Songo e 
coll Stgr. in Mus. Berlin. 
II. Forewing with veins 7, 8, and 9 stalked. 
E. festiva Wkr. (nee Cr.) (73 a). <J. Antennae with the shaft white spotted with fuscous, the pecti¬ 
nations drab. Frons white, vertex and collar yellowish. Thorax and abdomen white, the latter with a fuscous 
dorsal line. Wings white, the veins fuscous except the discocellular of hindwing. Forewing with the areole 
long and narrow. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 
E. compulsa sp. n. Draudt (73 a). Very near to festiva, smaller, apex of forewings more acute, more 
thinly scaled; antennae paler, pectinations nearly white; iveins and discocellulars on both wings more heavily 
fuscous. May be only a more northern form of festiva. Type: 1 from Arouary (Cayenne), in Mus. Berlin 
(Sahlke coll.). 
E. ebba sp. nov. <J. Pectinations of antennae light drab. Wings white, the veins and disco- 
cellular drab. It differs from mallalia Schs. in venation from areole and in genitalia. Expanse: 40 mm. Vene¬ 
zuela, Amazons. 3 genitalia as in mallalia Schs. except harpes longer, reaching almost, if not quite, to end 
of uncus; aedoeagus with apex trongly chitinized and tapering to a curved point, but very slightly hooked; 
cornuti a single comb of very short spines. (C. Heinrich) *). 
E. corvicoa sp. nov. <$. Head, collar and body creamy buff, the dorsal line on abdomen very faint. 
Wings white, the veins very faintly vinaceous buff; a paratype from Venezuela is only distinguishable from ebba 
Schs. by the genitalia. Veins 7—9 on a longer stalk. Type from Corvico, Bolivia. genitalia with harpes 
symmetrical, elongate, slender, curved, tapering, strongly scobined on apical half; uncus rather long, very 
slightly bifurcate (with scarcely more than a triangular invagination) at apex; anellus produced beneath into 
a deeply bilobed heart shaped plate, fusing above into the divided arms of the transtilla; aedoeagus moderately 
stout; apex bluntly pointed, rather strongly chitinized with a short sharp sub-apical lateral spur; cornuti a 
comb-like cluster of moderately short, stout spines. (C. Heinrich.) 
E. liniafa sp. n. Draudt (73b). $. Head and collar creamy white, body otherwise white; abdomen 
with black dorsal stripe except last three segments. Wings with ajiices very rounded, white, very thinly scaled, 
costa somewhat more heavily scaled; veins light buff. Underneath some very light buff suffusion on costa 
and apex. Type: 1 ^ from Chaco (La Paz), Bolivia, e coll. Stgr. in Mus. Berlin. 
E. subnuda Wkr. (73 b). Shaft of antennae white, the branches drab. Body white, the vertex 
and collar yellow. Wings semihyaline, white, the veins white; costal margin broadly, termen and inner margin 
more densely scaled; costa of forewing finely black, more defined on under side. Honduras; Mexico. This is 
the festiva of the Biologia (nec Hbn.). 
E. edana sp. nov. <$. Shaft of antennae cream colour with drab branches. Head and thorax 
white. Abdomen cream colour with fine white segmental lines; a very faint dorsal line. Wings white, the veins 
light buff. Forewing below with the costa and apex light buff. Expanse: 33 mm. Venezuela. Small proboscis 
in S- 
E. noyesi sp. nov. (73 b). $. Antennae with shaft white, the pectinations drab. Head and body 
white, the abdomen with a dorsal buff line. Wings white, semihyaline iridescent; veins finely light drab. Fore¬ 
wing: the costal margin suffused with light drab, the apex rather broadly light drab narrowing to tornus. 
Hindwing below with termen narrowly light drab. Showing in transparency on upper surface. Expanse: 38 mm. 
Venezuela. Named for Mr. Noyes, the artist who is doing such beautiful work. 
*) Seems rather variable; specimens occur with the disocellulars on both wings very broadly suffused with fuscous; 
such are before me from Sao Paulo de Olivenga (Amazons); in specimens in the U. S. Mus. the genitalia are the same as 
in ebba ; we are figuring it as — nugax form. n. Draudt (73 a). — Other specimens which are before me from Sarayacu 
(Ecuador), have head and collar white, not yellow, on hindwing veins 4 and 5 are wider apart; as communicated by Schaus, 
the same form is under ebba in the U. S. Mus.; genitalia not examined; perhaps a good species: albicollis f. n. Draudt 
(73 a). Types of both names in Mus. Berlin (Draudt).
