E. obliquifascia Dogn. resembles a small rufula (171 cl). Light reddish brown, the marking brown. Both obliquifascia. 
wings with a joint median band which is broadest at the costal margin of the forewing. This band is traversed 
on the forewing by a thick straight dark oblique line almost parallel with the distal margin. On the hindwing 
the band turns darker, yellow striae are at the margin. The excision on the forewing is edged with brown.

costal margin, bent over at the median vein and to inner margin. Exterior line straight, from % costal margin 
to % inner margin, the space between darker brown especially at the inner margin, also at the base of the wing. 
A faded spot at the margin between veins 4 and 6. Interior line of hindwing slightly bent, the exterior one 
more bent. <$ 20 mm. Peru.

edged with black. The interior border from x / 3 costal margin obliquely bent outward, then vertically to the 
middle of the inner margin. The exterior border almost vertical, slightly excurved at the costal margin to % 
inner margin. Blackish brown before the excision. The median band on the hindwing is much broader, ex¬ 
tending almost to the base, edged pale outside. A black spot at the margin between veins 3 and 4. 22 mm. Peru. 
E. rostrifera Warr. (171 d). Wood-brown and dark brown, the lines blackish brown. The interior one rostrifera. 
excurved from % costal margin to the median vein, then vertical. The exterior one from 2 / 3 costal margin vertical 
to vein 4, where it forms a feeble angle, concave above the inner margin, edged with light. Black at the margin 
before the excision. Hindwing paler at the base. Interior line indistinct, notched, light. Exterior line also pale, 
pointedly projecting at vein 4, bent inward above it and below it. Peru.

dark. The first obliquely outward from y 3 costal margin, bent to y 3 inner margin in the middle. The exterior 
line from 3 / 5 costal margin rather vertical, then slightly inward, ending beside the interior line. A dark shadow 
from the anal angle to the middle of the exterior line. Argentina. 
E. excoria Warr. Forewing grey, with dark striae at the costal margin. The transverse lines fine. The excoria. 
first from y 3 costal margin outward, bent in the middle of the wing, then obliquely inward. The exterior line 
at %, straight, obliquely inward. A blackish spot in the narrow interspace between veins 4 and 6. A dark sub¬ 
marginal shadow is traceable, the excision edged with brown. On the hindwing the lines are brown, both bent 
parallel. A few bluish white scales at the distal margin. Beside the excision between veins 7 and 4 of the hind¬ 
wing there is another one in the submedian fold. The dents and excisions are stronger in the 18 mm. Mexico. 
E. purpurata Dogn. Lilac blackish brown with a few white scales. The interior line on the forewing purpurata. 
is hardly traceable, the exterior one reddish, black inside, strongly angled at vein 4. A black luna before the 
excision. Hindwing with the exterior line likewise angled at vein 4. A black dot at the margin above and 
below vein 4. The dents at veins 7 and 4 pointed. $ 23 mm. Colombia. 
5. Forewing more or less cut out at the distal margin between 
veins 6 a n d 4, apex obtusely cut off. Hindwing with a dent at veins 7 
and 4, a smaller one at vein 5. 
E. acutangularia H.-Schaff. (= praeflorata Mschlr.) (171 e). Forewing of greyish brown, $ reddish acutangu- 
brown. The excision at the margin not very deep. A quadrangular spot in the middle of the costal margin 
somewhat darker than the ground-colour, a semicircular spot above the middle of the inner margin, both distinct, 
edged with dark brown. A brownish shadow from the anal angle vertically upward to the costal margin. A 
straight black line before the excision. Hindwing of $ more intensely red-brown, of $ greyish brown. Interior 
line near the base, dark, rounded. Exterior line fine white, sharply angled at vein 4, then extinct to the inner 
margin. 28—32 mm. Brazil. 
E. rubrofasciata sp. n. (172 c). <$. Similar to acutangularia in the wing-contours. Ground-colour light rubrofascia- 
reddish brown. Of the anterior spot only the exterior black border-line is preserved; of that at the inner margin ia ' 
only 2 spots above vein 1. Hindwing with the black interior line extending from % costal margin vertically 
to the lower cell-edge. The exterior one from 2 / 3 costal margin, obtusely angled at vein 4, to % inner margin. 
The space between both lines in the anterior part filled with red-brown with 2 white dots. Dark dusting in 
the submedian fold at the margin. $ 26 mm. Bolivia.

ochreous, the lines dark brown. Costal margin of forewing dusted somewhat white. Interior line only from ] 3 
costal margin to the base of vein 3, then again as a short oblique streak at the inner margin. Exterior line 
almost parallel with the distal margin. Submarginal line indicated by white dusting. Interior line of hindwing 
twice bent, the exterior line excurved between veins 2 and 6. The whole hindwing is strewn with white, especially 
at the veins. $ 24—28 mm. Colombia.
