the shadow behind the cell as far as the margin purple brown, a whitish line dusted orange is subapically above 
it. The hindwing is white in the basal half, cinnamon-brown with a bronze gloss outside, with white fringe. Peru. 
E. audax Drc. is much lighter yellowish bay on the forewing, yellowish at the inner margin, the black audax.

by a white longitudinal streak; otherwise similarly marked as plechelm. Hindwing light yellowish-brown, 
darker outside. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Described from Panama.

sand-coloured, the base and the discal veins strewn with greenish and black, light greenish scales are also below 
the distal half of the cell; transverse lines double, the anterior one velvety black, interrupted below the fold, 
a triangular dark shadow before the middle line in the lower half; a round velvety black spot is in the lower 
cell-angle and a smaller streak bordered with white above towards the base, and a vertical streak above it; 
a black longitudinal line with a fine short silvery white Y-mark extends through the cell and behind it; the 
double posterior transverse line is brown, filled with a lighter colour, a white line is before it at the inner margin; 
blackish-brown subterminal streaks above 5 and 6. Hind wing brown, whitish towards the base with a small 
double anal spot. Expanse of wings: 42—50 mm. Mexico to French Guiana and Colombia.

basal half — in the anterior half as far as the cell-end, below the median vein only as far as the strong antemedian 
double streak — covered with light greenish-grey scales behind the subbasal area, the distal half of the wing 
light violet-grey, more greenish at the costal margin and in the proximal half of the median area; a whitish 
patch behind the submedian red-brown double streak; the two black fine dots at the cell-end, a fine black 
longitudinal streak between these dots extends to the very fine arcuate submarginal line, interrupted on the 
posterior undulate-dentate transverse line, but not white; a double row of black dots behind the transverse line; 
subterminal line feebly shaded with rusty brown inwards; fringe rusty brown. Hindwing light brownish, broadly 
darkened at the margin. Type: 1 $ from Mexico (Colima) in the Coll. Draudt; 1 from Guatemala in the 
Berlin Museum. 
E. lupicina Schs. Forewing light brownish-grey, the veins strewn with black and white, double undulate lupitina. 
transverse lines, a whitish brightening behind the anterior line between the cell and the inner margin; a short 
vertical line before the median line is composed of erect velvety black scales, with an appendage towards the 
base on the fold; a large round velvety black spot; in the lower cell-angle, and a smaller one above it; the 
posterior transverse line is punctiform with an indistinct undulate line behind it between the costal margin 
and 5, and a triangular silvery spot between 5 and 4; blackish-brown velvety subterminal spots below 7 and 6, 
and a large duller spot below 5 at the silvery spot. Hind wing white, veins and margin brown with an anal 
double strigiform spot. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Paraguay. 
E. donatian Schs. Head and shoulders whitish, thorax brown, abdomen brownish-grey. Forewing donatian. 
brownish cinnamon-coloured, suffused with grey, basal area and costal margin lighter; a vertical velvety black 
antemedian line between the cell and the inner margin; median line in the cell light brown, silvery white scales 
behind it above the median vein as far as the cell-end, a small black spot on the cross-vein; end of median 
vein black, continued along 5 as far as the margin, interrupted by a silvery white streak behind the double 
postmedian line, a brown shadow behind the latter between the cell and the inner margin; the whole fore wing 
is transversely striated darker. Hindwing white, narrowly brownish at the margin. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. 
British Guiana. 
E. complicata Dogn. was described as Gisara, but it belongs near to donatian. Fore wing earth-brown, complicata. 
yellowish-white in the basal and anal areas, watered violet or greenish along the costal margin, on the sub¬ 
median vein and behind the cell as far as the margin, traversed by indistinct double blackish-brown transverse 
lines which are edged with yellowish ochre, the posterior line forms a yellowish inward point between 4 and 5, 
black longitudinal streaks are behind it; two black dots at the cell-end, the lower dot is much thicker, two 
more dots before the upper dot in the cell. Hindwing blackish, lighter towards the base, with whitish fringe 
and a black anal spot divided by light. Expanse of wings: 51 mm. French Guiana. 
E. longara Stoll has not yet been undoubtedly diagnosed, but according to Schaus it is to be ranged longara. 
here; it almost resembles a Dasylophia, fore wing yellowish-grey, darkened grey in the marginal area, broader 
towards the apex, with fine brownish double transverse lines, the posterior line surrounding the cell-end in a large 
bow, a fine black dot in its lower angle; veins finely striped darker, dark longitudinal streaks between them in 
the marginal area. Hindwing brownish-grey. Surinam. 
E. cretosa Dogn. Forewing light yellowish, strewn with red-brown, with double chestnut-brown trans- cretosa. 
verse lines proceeding from intense costal-marginal streaks, a black double streak at the end of the cell which 
is dusted with brown; the double subterminal line filled with white forms a bow from near the apex to the anal 
angle, one white dot or streak each is before and behind it. Hindwing red-brown, base and fringe yellowish- 
white. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Ecuador.
