E. subfuscula Hmps. (45 i) deviates from E. flavinata (Vol. II, t. 23 a) by its being more or less 
lined brownish or also uniformly one-coloured reddish-brown; in the forewing the lines and the cell-spot are 
indistinct, the hindwings are not lighter. The costa of the forewing beneath is dark. Expanse of wings: 
E 38, $ 46 mm. India (Nilgiris). 
E. fraterna Moore (44 i). The $ differs from E. guttata (43 g) by its smaller size (expanse of wings: 
24 mm) and by its shorter and more quadrangular forewings. The $ has sometimes an almost complete sub¬ 
marginal row of black spots on the forewing. Expanse of wings: 30 to 38 mm. — Larva black with a red head, 
the first segment with long lateral brushes of black hah rising from projecting tubercles. On the other segments 
are dorsal and lateral brushes of white hah. Subdorsal light lines. The 9th and 10th segment with white dorsal 
spots. The 11th segment with a black dorsal brush. India: Ceylon, Burma. 
E. luteifascia Hmps. (45 k, misprinted in lateifascia). <$\ head yellow. Thorax brownish ochreous. 
Forewing wine-coloured brown, strewn with dark scales, and with an antemedian line of orange-red spots, and 
yellow fringes. Abdomen, hindwing and under surface yellow. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Nilgiris. 
E. apicalis Wkr. (45 i). body and wings reddish-yellow. Forewing with indistinct, light, undulate 
antemedian and postmedian lines the edges of which are strewn with red-brown scales; near the apex a black 
spot encircled by white, and another one towards the posterior angle. $: head, thorax and anal brush dirty 
grey, abdomen orange. Forewing bright orange-red with indistinct and darker lined margins, and with two 
black spots each towards the apex and anal angle. Hindwing orange. Expanse of wings: $ 40, $ 33 mm. •— 
Larva black with a scarlet head and long anterior and posterior hair-brushes, each segment with lateral brushes 
of white hair which are curved upwards across the dorsum; the first and second segments with white bands 
and the 9th and 10th with dorsal spots. Ceylon. 
E. sagroides Hmps. (45 d). $■. uni-coloured yellowish-brown with yellow fringes. Expanse of w r ings: 
22 mm. Nilgiris. 
E. variegata Moore (47 c). <$: body white and olive-yellow. Forewing in the basal area white, speckled 
with black and olive-yellow scales forming indistinctly defined subbasal, antemedian and median bands, besides 
an indistinct, forked postmedian band connected with the distal olive-yellow area speckled with black scales. 
Hindwing white with a dark discocellular spot and a broad dark marginal band not reaching the posterior 
angle. Forewing beneath almost entirely liued black. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Sikkim. 
E. plagiata Wkr. $: distinguished from icilia (Vol. II, t. 22 g) by the basal purple-brown area of the 
forewing being united with the postmedian band both in the costal and dorsal area; yellow remains a spot at 
the posterior cell-angle, and the margin. No black discocellular spot. Expanse of wings: 60 mm. Nepal. 
E. marginata Moore (43 e) deviates from plagiata by the abdomen being black except the orange anal 
segment and similar anal brush. In the forewing the red-brown colouring is darker and more distinctly defined 
by the yellow marginal area marked with a row of 8 black spots. Expanse of wings: $ 46, $ 60 mm. Darjeeling, 
Sikkim, Kurseyong. — quadrangularis Moore has lighter hindwings, and in the row of spots of the forewing 
one subapical and two median spots are missing. Manipur. 
E. uniformis Moore (43 d). $: body brown, anal brush orange. Forewing wine-coloured brown, 
strewn with darker scales. Fringes yellow. Hindwing dark brown with a broad yellow marginal band. Expanse 
of wings: 57 mm. Sikkim, Pegu. 
E. bipartita Moore (45 g). $: body reddish-yellowish brown with a reddish-yellow anal brush. Forewing 
reddish brown, strewn with darker scales, and with lighter, curved antemedian and postmedian lines inside 
and outside the cell; the apex and a narrow marginal line yellow, a subapical spot black, some specimens with 
a black mark in the cell. Hindwing yellow, frequently lrued brownish, except the marginal area. Expanse 
of wings: 52 mm. Sikkim. 
E. costalis Wkr. (= incomptaria Wkr., complens Wkr., illepida Wkr.) (47 c). body dark. Forewing 
whitish, in the basal and costal areas hued dark brown, at the cell-end a large, blurred, brown patch enclosing 
three dark spots and from which an oblique streak extends to the apex, an indistinct submarginal row of dark 
spots. Hindwing light greyish-brownish. -—■ $: in the basal and costal areas of the forewing no brown colouring, 
the three spots at the cell-end are not situate in a brown diffuse patch and are separated from the oblique streak. 
—* Larva blackish-brown with short hair-brushes; between the 5th and 6th segments a rosy-red line. Expanse 
of wings: E 24, $ 30 mm. Ceylon.
