E. poasia Schs. (84 f) is a much larger species, the base of the forewing is light brown, costally darker, 
the rest of the surface greyish-white strewn with red-brown, discal dot absent; the almost straight interior 
postmedian portion dotted on the veins, behind it a red-brown shadow-like stripe, at the costal margin more 
remote than at the inner margin, discally incurved. Described from Costa Rica. 
E. egra Schs. (84 f). Here the basal area is light yellow, the double dark brown antemedian line filled 
with red-brown, the median and marginal area light bluish-grey, subterminal area light yellow; discal streak 
small, black; subterminal line strongly curved. Hindwing very light reddish-brown, at the apex extensively 
white, in the basal half of the costal margin blackish-brown. The $ is much larger and darker, the basal and 
subterminal area dark ochreous, the median and marginal areas like the hindwing almost blackish-brown. 
Costa Rica to the Amazons (Sao Paulo de 01iven§a), here darker, greyer. 
E. gera Schs. is very similar, basal area of forewing yellowish-reddish, strewn with brown, the double 
blackish antemedian line filled with light brown, the whole distal area mouse-coloured; postmedian shadow 
light brown, inside bordered with a darker grey, and crossed by a darker line; subterminal line whitish-grey. 
Hindwing light red-brown, basally at the costal margin brown, defined by the dark brown postmedian line 
against the light grey apex, subterminal line darker grey. Costa Rica; Guiana; Venezuela. 
E. limba Drc. is browner on the forewing, in the basal area lighter, the antemedian line is double, 
the median area darker brown, outside behind the single postmedian line bordered by a somewhat lighter 
colour. . Subterminal line irregularly dentate, shadowy grey, distally not bordered by a lighter colour. Hindwing 
monotonously slate-coloured brown, at the apex hardly lighter. The $ is much larger, more monotonous, more 
reddish-brown, the antemedian line only single. Costa Rica. 
E. canities Schs. (85 h). Body olive-brown. Forewing from the base to the dark discal streak whitish, 
strewn with yellow and olive-brown as far as the fine double, almost straight antemedian line; distal half of 
the wing olive brown, behind the discal streak with an almost straight darker line and behind it an irregular 
dark shadow; subterminal shadow very broad, at the apex distally curved. Hindwing olive brown, in the costal- 
marginal half whitish, strewn with olive-brown, with a dark median shadow and broad darker subterminal shadow. 
Costa Rica. 
E. lanea Schs. (85 h). Body dull brown, thorax grey; forewing at the base white strewn with black, 
the median area of a purer white, the distal half thickly strewn with brown; antemedian line black, almost 
straight from the costal margin to 2, then inwardly interrupted and oblicjuely to the centre of the inner margin, 
the dark brown fine postmedian line forms 3 small bows below the costal margin, between 3 and 5, and below 
2; subterminal shadow brown, irregular. Hindwing dull brown, at the costal margin broad grey, at the distal 
margin narrow grey with dark median and subterminal lines. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. mediana Schs. (85 li) is somewhat smaller, head and thorax grey, abdomen brown. Forewing 
brown, at the base a small dark spot; the whitish median area on each side bordered by a grey shadow; the 
dark subterminal line is undulate. Hindwing brown, at the costal margin broad whitish with traces of dark 
median and subterminal shadows. Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Rio de Janeiro. 
E. amida Drc. (84 g). Forewing in the basal and marginal areas light grey, strewn with brownish, 
at the margin with fine dark veins; the median area is white, very scantily — particularly towards the costal 
margin — strewn with grey, with a very feeble dark discal dot; antemedian and postmedian lines finely dentate 
black, the former line deeply incurved submedianly, the posterior line inwards prolonged to small fine black 
dents, with a feeble brownish-grey shadowy line behind it; subterminal line composed of small feeble dark 
wedges. Hindwing brownish, at the costal margin only slightly whitish, behind the fine dark subterminal line 
the margin is narrowly lighter. Ecuador. 
E. pseudamida Dogn. is very similar to amida , the antemedian line is double, without the deep sub- 
median inward tooth; postmedian line likewise double, but only the anterior portion is distinct and black, 
in the median area with a large black discal dot; subterminal line more deeply dentate, parallel to the margin; 
the white fringe blackened between the veins. Hindwing in the costal-marginal portion much broader white. 
French Guiana, also from Costa Rica and Colombia. 
E. argyphea Berg (= varona Schs.) (85 h). Anterior body and base of abdomen light brownish-grey, 
abdomen rusty brown. Forewing in the basal half silvery white, scantily strewn with grey, in the distal half 
brownish-grey, in the postmedian area darkened; antemedian line hardly visible, the postmedian line forms 
a large bow between 4 and 7, the subterminal line is strongly dentate; fringes on the ends of the veins interrupted 
by white; hindwing rusty brown, in the costal-marginal half white with a median line and a subterminal line. 
Expanse of wings: 27 to 33 mm. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
E. albigrisea Schs. (85 li) is allied with argyphea : thorax dark greyish-brown, abdomen reddish-brown, 
dorsal ly at the base blackish-grey. Forewing white, on the veins strewn with grey and brown, at the inner 
margin narrowly dark greyish-brown as far as the centre, then expanded along the distal margin as far as 
7, a dark undulating postmedian line separates both the colours, above 7 passing over into an irregular white 
apical patch. Hindwing white, at the anal margin broad light brown. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Costa
