blackish. Distal margin from veins 6—3 with a black luna. The median band on the hindwing violettish blackish, 
both the edges sharply angled at vein 4. Blackish at the margin from the apex to vein 4. A black spot at each 
dent. 24 mm. Peru. 
E. ignefusa Warr. (171 d). Wings rusty brown and olive brown, costal margin of forewing paler. The 
lines indistinct, dark brown. A few near the base. The exterior line angled at vein 4. Somewhat darkened at 
the excision. The two lines on the hindwing more distinctly, dark brown, both angled in the middle. Between 
the dents black marginal lunae and a black spot below the lowest dent. The species is said to resemble E. scabra 
(171 f), which is not to be seen in the figure. $ 18 mm. Peru. 
E. fulvigrisea Warr. i. 1. (171 e). Dark rusty brown, veins and margin of forewing dark brown, a black 
luna before the excision. Two black dots at the costal margin indicate the beginnings of a median and exterior 
line. Hindwing dark reddish brown, violet at the margin. Lines black, the interior one uniformly bent, the 
exterior one more bent at vein 4. $ 20 mm. South America. 
E. nigricans Dogn. Wings blackish, lustrous blue, the last quarter at the costal margin and below 
the apex greyer, reddish at the excision. The two transverse lines only indicated at the inner margin by 2 dots 
each. Hindwing with 2 blackish brown lines, the interior one bent in the cell, the exterior one at vein 4, both 
edged with white. The $ is browner. Forewing with a blacker median band, the edges of which are faded, twice 
as broad at the costal margin as at the black dots at the inner margin. 26 mm. Colombia. 
The following species show a deeper excision on the forewing. 
E. hians Eldr. (171 e). Bluish grey. Interior line of forewing thick, black, from y 4 costal margin to the 
lower cell-angle, then finely white, edged with black to the middle of the inner margin, extra-angular above 
it. Exterior line fine white, undulate, from % costal margin to % inner margin, slightly excurved at vein 4, 
broadly edged with black inside. A black submarginal line from the apex to vein 3. Interior line of hindwing 
black, straight, from V 4 costal margin to % inner margin. Exterior line fine white, pointedly projecting at 
vein 4, edged with black inside. Inner margin yellowish. 28—30 mm. Venezuela. — lucisquamata Warr. ( 171 e, f) 
is mostly less dusted with blue, ground-colour reddish brown. Interior line dark brown, the exterior one double, 
blackish, filled with red-brown. Blackish between the two lines at the inner margin in the Both lines on 
the hindwing red-brown, finely white on the averted sides. 28—30 mm. Peru. 
6. Excision on forewing strong, the dent at vein 7 on the hind- 
wing is more salient than the one at vein 4, a projecting lobe at vein8. 
E. draco Warr. (171 f). Lilac greyish brown, coarsely dusted dark, lighter at the apex. Interior line 
dark brown, very obliquely outward from % costal margin, very indistinctly from the cell to the middle of the 
inner margin. Exterior line from % costal margin vertically to vein 4, then quite indistinct, removed outward, 
ending at tire inner margin near the anal angle. Hindwing red-brown in the interior two thirds. A yellowish 
brown faded median and exterior band. Margin lilac grey. 22—24 mm. Bolivia. 
E. scabra Warr. (171 f). Rusty red, dusted with lilac grey. The forewing with a greyish yellow spot 
between the exterior and submarginal lines down as far as vein 5, a series of red lunae behind it at the distal 
margin. Interior line red, indistinct, from y 3 costal margin obliquely outward as far as the cell, then vertically 
to the middle of the inner margin. The exterior line almost vertically from % costal margin, slightly angled 
at veins 6 and 4, then concave. Hindwing with a darker curved median band, finely edged with light outside. 
A dark spot at the lower dent. $ 22 mm. Peru. 
E. vulpecula Warr. (171 f) resembles a large pale scabra. Light brick-red, dusted dark at the costal 
margin. A broad lilac grey postmedian band. Transverse lines indistinct, but rather similar to scabra. Hind¬ 
wing still more indistinctly marked. Traces of a light band at the inner margin. A blackish spot below the 
lower dent. $ 24 mm. Peru. 
E. reversata Warr. (171 f). Greyish brown, dark oblique streaks at the costal margin, without trans¬ 
verse lines. Distal margin broadly blackish brown. A brown spot traceable at the cross-vein. Hindwing browner, 
with 5 indistinct dark bands. <$ 21 mm. Peru.

E. illota Dogn. Greyish ochreous, marbled with greenish brown. Interior line bent at the costal margin, 
more intensely greenish brown, then faded. Besides a similar interrupted exterior line and a marginal line. Cross¬ 
vein spotted reddish, before the excision likewise reddish. Hindwing more reddened, the spots forming a straight 
exterior and submarginal band. $ 20 mm. Colombia. 
E. equinata Gn. (172 c). Greyish brown, with a slight lilac reflection. Interior line black, from y 3 costal 
margin obliquely outward to vein 2, then vanishing. Exterior line from a black oblique streak beginning at % 
costal margin, bent at vein 4 and parallel with the margin to % inner margin. There before it a black semi¬ 
circle. The latter and the anterior space between the two lines somewhat darker brown. A brown line before 
the excision. Both the lines on the hindwing fine black, rectangular in the middle of the wing, the exterior one 
finely edged with white. Darker between them. 22 mm. Cayenne.
