E. bilineata Hmps. ochreous-yellow, head, tliorax and abdomen strewn with brown; forewings bilineala. 
slightly strewn with brown; an antemedian strongly bent line is expanded at the costa to a spot; in the cell-end 
a longish, black dot; postmedian line turning outwards behind the cell and expanded to a spot at the costa; 
before the margin below the veins 10, 8 and 4 stripes, and an oblicpie streak from the postmedian line near 
vein 3 to the anal angle. 16 mm. Described according to a $ from Singapore. 
E. crassa Wkr. (== indeclaratana Wkr.) (18 m) has much broader wings than bilineata, hut it is crassa. 
similarly coloured. Dark brown with yellow fringes, the disc of the forewing and the basal part of the hindwing 
yellowish. Before the apex begins at the costa a dark nebulous stripe extending to the proximal margin which 
it touches before its distal third. Before the proximal margin in the cell a black dot, sometimes another feebler one 
below it. — ab. inconspicua Wkr. has another blackish spot at the base of the costa. From Sarawak (Borneo), incon*pl¬ 
ena. 
E. fascirrorata Bothsch. antennae brown, head whitish, thorax chocolate-brown, speckled with a fascirrom- 
light brown. Abdomen light yellowish wood-coloured. Forewings whitish silvery-grey, before and behind 
the middle broad, irregular bands and at the margin a series of spots are chocolate-brown. Fringes light brown. 
Hindwings dark brownish-grey. Length of forewings: 9,5 mm. Coomooboolaroo, Duaringa in North Queensland. 
E. irregularis Bothsch. antennae dark brown, head and thorax white, a spot on the thorax and irregularis. 
the posterior margin of the tegulae dark brown; abdomen drab. Forewing white, an antemedian band, two 
interrupted, irregular postmedian bands and a marginal band are dark brownish-grey. Hindwings drab. Length 
of forewings: 10 mm. Mount Goliath. Dutch New Guinea, at an altitude of 500 ft., in March. 
4. Genus: Trisidhallis Hmps. 
This genus having been established in 1894 so far comprises three Indian species mostly known long 
ago, looking somewhat like small Pyralidae. Two are known from Borneo, the Lithosiidae of which island have 
been the most thoroughly explored. Palpi short, antennae with very small teeth, tibiae with long spurs. 
Forewing with a very much bulged out proximal margin, an obtuse apex and sharp anal angle, of a yellow 
colour. The lower median vein rises behind the middle of the cell, the middle one before and the joint footstalk 
of the upper and lower radials from the lower cell-angle. The 3rd and 4th subcostal veins are also petioled, 
and the 5th has with the upper radial a very long pedicle which was absent in the Strichophthalma being other¬ 
wise closely allied. The butterflies are widely distributed and common. 
T. subaurana Wkr. (= metalligera Btlr.) (13 d). Yolk-coloured, on the forewings a purple brown subaurana. 
spiral beginning in-the distal angle and terminating below the middle of the wing. Distributed from the Anda¬ 
mans across the Malayan Archipelago. 
T. abscorsditatia Wkr. (13 d) is half the size of subaurana, of a paler yellow, of the spiral only dbscondHa- 
the upper part is left as a dull greyish-brown arcuate shade. Borneo. -— In fiava Hmps. from Ceylon this shade ^ na ' 
is quite dull, scarcely noticeable, and in ab. abbreviata nom. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) from the Naga Hills the abbreviata. 
arcuate shade is narrower and shorter. 
T. iridescens Bothsch. In the £ the antennae and head are lustrous golden yellow, the thorax iridescent iridescens. 
coppery red, the tegulae and base of patagia lustrous golden yellow; abdomen golden buff. Forewings golden 
yellow, the base and the basal third of the costa aniline-coloured with a coppery reflection; an antemedian, 
semicircular band reflecting Magenta-blue, from which slate-coloured streaks extend distally; marginal band 
and apex with a broad coppery reflection. Hindwings buff. Length of forewings: 10 mm. Mount Goliath, 
New Guinea, at an altitude of 5000 ft., March. — subsp. orientalis Bothsch. differs from the <$ of iridescens by orientalis. 
its smaller size and lighter and duller colouring. Length of forewings only 7,5 to 8 mm. New Guinea. 
32. Genus: Meinonia Wkr. 
The small butterflies of this genus recall Tortricidae in their exterior, with brown or grey forewings 
the venation of which, obviously influenced by the Tortrix-like shape of the forewings, has a very peculiar 
course, since all the 5 subcostal veins extend from the posterior half of the cell almost parallel to the costa; 
particularly the first anastomoses with the costal; the cell itself is very long, its upper angle produced pointedly. 
Distributed from the Himalaya across the Malayan Archipelago as far as North Australia.
