radials is less satisfactory; but his localities — Tali (Haut Yunnan) and Ta-tsien-lu — leave no doubt about 
the determination; it reaches westward to the Khasis and eastward to Central China. 
E. submarginata Warr. ( = oc-hreata Hmps., Prout, nec Moore) (Vol. 4, pi. 7 i, as ochreata). Smaller 
(often much smaller) than picata, much less handsome, the greenish areas less dark, the white area outside the 
postmedian line less pure, on the hindwing scarcely or not all indicated; distal area of forewing above and of 
both wings beneath often with more dark shading, but variable. N. W. India and Afghanistan, the type from 
Kashmir, where it is locally common. 
E. undulata Leech ( = undifraga Prout) (Vol. 4, pi. 13 c). On account of my temporary conservation in 
Vol. 4 (under protest) of the unwieldy and in part unnatural “genus” Cidaria, I was compelled to find (Suppl.- 
Vol. 4, p. 150) a new name for this striking black, white-lined species, since there existed an older Cidaria 
undulata; in Euphyia this substitution is no longer necessary. Palpus somewhat elongate, the 3rd joint longer 
than usual, at least in the $. Wings glossy, black, with numerous, mostly punctiform white lines; underside 
similarly or still more strongly marked. East and Central China, the type from Kiukiang. 
E. contortilinea Warr. (27 1). Equally unmistakable, on account of the abnormal course of the thick 
black lines. Underside with almost the same markings, strongly expressed. Hindwing somewhat elongate. 
Khasis, few specimens yet known. 
E. discomelaina Wehrli ( undulata Sterneck nec Leech) (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 14 a). Much smaller than 
undulata, more brownish, the white markings slighter, the subordinate lines not punctiform, the apical white 
spots wanting. Like the two preceding it has large cell-spots and sharply marked underside. Pekin, obtained 
in numbers by Stotzner ; also recorded from Sunpanting, West China. 
E. unduliferaria Motsch. (Vol. 4, pi. 10 h, as albostrigaria) geraea Prout (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 14 a). Gener¬ 
ally large, like the name-typical Japanese race, but paler or less yellowish-tinged and with the postmedian line 
nearly always slender. W. China, locally common. 
E. leucoxyla Meyr. (27 1). This was described from a $ and assumed to belong to Xanthorhoe, but the 
discovery of the $ within the last decade has necessitated its transference here, the antenna being simple. Aber¬ 
rant in the elongate wings and with rather elongate face-cone and palpus. I do not know any other species 
with which to compare it. Hawaiian Islands: Kauai. 
E. aphoristis Meyr. (27 1). Another apparently isolated species, with somewhat the facies of a Horisme 
but without the crests. Face scarcely at all tufted. Palpus moderate. Wings dark and weakly marked, the 
termen of the hindwing waved. Hawaiian Islands: Kilauea. 
E. (?) roseata Swezey. “27—31 mm. Forewing whitish much strigulated with rosy-pink and scattered 
fuscous scales; median band with some suffusion also of brownish ochreous, proximal edge wavy, distal edge 
wavy, outwardly prominent in middle; discal spot small. Hindwing of the same colour and strigulation, median 
band less distinct”. Kilauea, in both sexes. Shape and venation not given. 
E. giffardi Swezey. “23—24 mm. Forewing white with a few scattered fuscous scales and much strigul¬ 
ated with fuscous; median band with proximal and distal edges nearly straight and marked with blackish lines, 
the proximal line discontinued between cell and costa; discal dot round, black. Hindwing similar to fore wing 
but with the strigulations less distinct.” Kilauea, a pair. Here also we lack detail as to shape and venation. 
E. lithurga Meyr. (28 a). Palpus l 1 /,. Antennal ciliation short. Wing-margins rounded, crenate. Very 
distinct in the shape of the median band, its edges strongly dentate, proximal edge twice sinuate, distal edge 
with strong lobe. Both wings beneath with conspicuously darkened subterminal band. The pupa of the type 
was found in a loose cocoon among Miihlenbreckia. New Zealand: Makara Beach, near Wellington (loc. typ.) 
and near Sinclair Head. 
E. prionota Meyr. (28 a). Wings elongate, the distal margins highly crenulate or dentate. Antenna 
non-pectinate, otherwise similar to Xanthorhoe cedrinodes episema, for which, indeed, Mr. Howes had deter¬ 
mined it in his collection. As Meyrick described it in his Arsinoe (Anachloris) I suppose the antenna is 
“strongly dentate”, but Hudson, whose figure of the we copy, is definite as to the “entire absence of pectin¬ 
ations". The “greenish" costal and distal shading of the forewing should further distinguish it from episema. 
South Island: Castle Hill and Dunedin; subsequently also from Gouland Downs. 
E. loxocyma Turn. “$, 20—24 mm. A small and inconspicuous species, best distinguished by the 
form of postmedian line of forewing”; this line is “very distinct, from % costa to mid-dorsum [hindmargin], 
with a well marked outward projection beneath costa and another more obtuse in mid-disc". Palpus short
