E. plugma Sepp ( = perplexa Wkr., zygia Drc., chiriquensis Schs., colle Dyar) (164 1). Monotonously plugma.

prominent. Hindwing dark brown. Expanse of wings: $ 12 — 20, $ 25 — 35 mm. Sepp figures a very large $ 
from Surinam (35 mm), the $ is invariably much larger than the whereas the $ of the northern race: —lioboa hoboa. 
Schs. is very small. The larva is elliptical, the lateral horns of medium length and smooth; the subdorsal horns 
with 3 rather long thorns at each end, the 5 middle ones short and smooth; green, the dorsum with a red, somewhat 
spotted band, a white line below the subdorsal horns. Surinam, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico. 
E„ determinata Drc. resembles plugma, the colour of the forewing varies from dark brown to light yellow; determinata.
