Guiana, Honduras, Portorico. — nigrocapitata Sn. (171 c) are intensely brown specimens indistinctly marked. 
Venezuela, Colombia. Presumably always together with incolorata. Hindwing dentate at veins 7 and 4, concave 
between them. 
E. pauxillata Sn. Greyish brown, dusted dark brown. Forewing with 2 brown lines from 2 / 5 and % costal 
margin, nearing each other in the middle at the inner margin, wdiere they form a joint spot. Four black dots 
in front at the distal margin. Hindwing with two brown bent lines. The notches at the distal margin are 
probably inexactly represented in the original figure. $ 14 mm. Venezuela. 
E. excludaria Mschlr. is just as small. Forewing ochreous, dusted with dark red-brown, no further 
marking being noticeable. Hindwing darker. Median area bordered by dark lines edged with light outside. 
Interior line rectangular in the centre of the wing, exterior line rounded off with a larger bow at vein 2. Distal 
margin cut out between veins 6 and 7. The only specimen preserved is unfortunately not fit for a reproduction. 
14 mm. Portorico. 
E. amorata Pack. Pearl-coloured grey. Forewing with two dark lines from 2 / 5 and 3 / 5 costal margin, 
in the beginning parallel ex curved as far as vein 4, from where the exterior one extends more inward, connected 
with the interior line by a bar at vein 2, then the two lines separate again. Dark between veins 4 and 6 at the 
distal margin, edged by a brown line. Hindwing with a rounded interior line, the exterior line with a sharp 
outward point at vein 4, finely edged light outside. Hindwing with a dent at veins 7 and 4, a smaller one at 
vein 6. $ 20 mm. Canada, New York. 
E. certiorata Pearsall. Larger than amorata , the excision on the hindwing deeper. Dark bluish grey, 
dusted with black. The lines agree exactly with those of amorata. The median area on the forewing with black 
and smoke-brown scales. Hindwing with a round black spot at the margin between veins 3 and 4, dusted with 
blue in the exterior half; at this place the margin is not fringed, but a hair-pencil is at vein 4. The whole in¬ 
cision on the hindwing with a strong black marginal line. 21 mm. Arizona. 
3. Differing from the 2nd group in a lobe at the costal margin 
o f t h e h i n d w i n g. 
E. rectangularia Jones (172 c). Brownish ochreous, the costal margin of the forewing darker. Interior 
line indistinct, extra-angular below the costal margin and at vein 1. Exterior line dark, faded, strongly bent 
inward behind the cell. Marginal area ochreous, creamy white at the apex, a violettish brown spot at the anal 
angle. Interior line black, rectangular in the centre of the wing, violettish brown behind it, except in the apical 
area. Exterior line sharply angled at vein 4. The light apical area is edged dark. $ 24 mm. Brazil. 
4. Forewing slightly cut out at the distal margin between veins 6 
and 4. Hindwing with a feeble dent at veins 7 and 4. 
E. albiocellata Warr. (171 d). Forewing red-brown and grey without a distinct marking. Traces of a 
strongly bent exterior line at %. Distal margin dark in front, a dark spot in the cell. Hindwing bluish grey, 
somewhat yellowish at the costal margin. Interior line blackish, undulate, interrupted. Exterior line black, 
angled at vein 4. Cross-vein white. A fine white streak below the lower small tail. Antennae of $ serrate. Veins 
8 -|- 9 -f- 10 of forewing stalked, vein 3 of hindwing far off from 4. £ 18 mm. Venezuela. 
E. turbinata Warr. (171 d) is just as insignificant as albiocellata. Pale greyish yellow. A narrow greyish 
brown median band, somewhat broader at both its ends, very narrow in the middle, edged with black, some¬ 
what oblique. Submarginal band marked by dark scales. Hindwing more greyish brown. A bent dark median 
line. Fine black lunae at the marginal excision. Submarginal line traceable. 13 mm. Peru. 
E. lignicolor Dogn. Wings wood-coloured yellow, the scanty marking dark brown. It consists of a 
marginal spot on the forewing between veins 4 and 6. Besides both wings are traversed by a broad median 
band, interrupted on the forewing, with a spur branching off at vein 4 of the hindwing, the margin of the hindwing 
sorpewhat brownish. Forewing with a hair-pencil at the anal angle. $ 20 mm. Colombia. 
E. rufula Warr. (171 cl). Greyish brown or reddish brown, with a darker median band. The interior 
border from V 3 costal margin to % inner margin, extending somewhat inward at the median vein. The exterior 
one from % costal margin to the middle of the inner margin. Distally angled at the median vein. Two black 
submarginal spots behind the cell. Hindwing with an indistinct dark brown median band. Q 20 mm. Ecuador. 
E. bilineata Dogn. Ground-colour reddish. The two lines on the forewing rusty brown. The interior 
one strongly angled in the cell, then oblique, straight. Exterior line oblique, straight, continued on the hindwing, 
bent at vein 2, extending to the inner margin. Between these two lines the ground-colour is lilac grey. A few' 
black dots before the margin. Margin of hindwing slightly salient at vein 7, otherwise the species is said to be 
allied with rufula. 25 mm. Colombia.
