E. flexuosana nom. nov. (= flexuosa Wilem. nec Veen). $ forewing yellow; an antemedian, slightly 
bent transverse band reaching neither of the margins, a postmedian curved transverse band not reaching the 
costa, both bands formed of single black scales and accompanied by a whitish line; between the antemedian band 
and the base of the wings there is a black spot and two similar ones in the marginal area. Hindwing hued orange 
with lighter fringes. Under surface uni-coloured orange. — $ larger (expanse of wings: 25, $ 28 mm), but 
it seems otherwise to resemble the <$. Formosa. 
E. simplex Wilem. <$ antennae ochreous with whitish shaft. Head and thorax light ochreous, abdomen 
ochreous, hued greyish on the middle segments. Forewing white, at the base hued light ochreous. Fringes 
silky. Expanse of wings: 23 to 26 mm. Kanshirei (Formosa); in May. 
E. inornata Wilem. $ light brown, hued ferruginous. Abdomen greyisli-brown with a yellow anal 
segment. Forewing speckled with black scales, three whitish double spots on the margin, a dark median band 
being interrupted near the posterior margin and bifurcate towards the costal margin. Hindwing dark, towards 
the margin somewhat whitish. Expanse of wings: 52 mm. Kanshirei (Fomosa); in May. 
E. benguetana W. Schultze. $ thoracal dorsum and forewing red-brown, forewing with black scales * 
in the middle of the marginal area. Abdominal dorsum and hindwing dark. Length of wings: 13% mm. — 
$ head, thorax above, anterior and middle legs yellow, posterior legs and thorax beneath dark. Abdomen dark 
brown with a creamy-whitish anal brush. Forewing dark brown, costal area, veins and fringes light yellow. 
Hindwing dark brown. Length of wings: 20 mm. Luzon. 
E. samarensis W. Schultze. $ head, antennae and legs yellow, thorax above pale reddish-brown, beneath 
and abdomen dark brown. Forewing reddish-brown, with a large, moon-shaped, creamy-white discocellular 
spot, and with a yellow, proximally dentate macular band at the margin. Hindwing in the basal half dark 
brown, in the terminal half yellow. Length of wings: 30 mm. Samar (Philippines). 
E. atrosquama Wkr. (= glandulosa Fldr.) (45 f, as albosquamn). Very pale ochreous. Forewing with 
an accumulation of black scales in the middle and an often interrupted submarginal band of small black spots 
touching on the posterior margin a spot formed of long, black, penicillate hairs. Hindwing slightly darker 
than forewing. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. Philippines. Semper describes the $ to be considerably darker 
than the 2 figured by Felder, antennae brownish, palpi and first pair of feet pale orange; forewing darker 
than hindwing (in the $ the contrary), with a sublimbal row of black dots or spots, and with two dark brown 
transverse bands, a black discocellular spot pupilled white. Hindwing towards the proximal margin almost 
as dark yellow as the forewing. — The larva lives near Manila on Sesbania sp., Caesalpina sp., Pithecolobium 
sp., Psidium sp., Bambusa sp. and sometimes occurs in great numbers on all the plants of gardens. In its juvenile 
state it is light brown with darker segmental indentations, thinly haired, with hair-tufts, and at the anus with 
an obtuse elevation, in its adult state it is dirty brown with a whitish streak, more thinly haired dark and with 
dark hair-tufts, pupa brown with lighter wing-cases. Pupal stage near Manila in February-March 16, in Septem¬ 
ber 12 days. 
E. distracta Wkr. $ white. Palpi above ochreous. Thorax in front ochreous. Forewing ochreous, 
speckled black, and with 3 whitish undulate lines, the first of which extends very near the base, whilst the 
second is connected with the third by a streak, approaching it very closely on the posterior margin, but strongly 
diverging anteriorly. Fringes dotted white. Hindwing with a slight golden reflection. Expanse of wings: 
22% mm. Sarawak. 
E. enunciativa Swinh. bright ochreous. Forewing with a heap of black scales forming a ring- 
shaped spot at the cell-end, two parallel, ochreous-grey, transverse, almost straight, narrow bands speckled 
with black, one of them extending through the spot, the other beyond the middle of the wing, both extending 
anteriorly and distally beginning from the posterior margin; besides a submarginal band and the posterior 
margin are speckled black. Marginal line of both wings slightly darker than the surface of the wings. Hindwings 
and under surface unmarked. Expanse of wings: 34 mm; Philippines. — enunciativoides form. nov. is lighter, 
the median bands of the forewings are scarcely visible and in the dorsal area of the forewing there is a dark 
ochreous patch. Manila. 
E. austriaca Semp. $ black, forewing with two lighter transverse lines, two round light spots in 
the apical area and a smaller similar one in the anal angle. Hindwing with a lighter marginal area. Length 
of wings: 20 to 22 mm. Flies in July and October. Mindanao. 
E. sibulana Semp. (43 b). $ deviates from E. coyispersa (45 k) by the ground-colour being on both 
sides a more intense yellow, the forewing showing a dark yellow macular line parallel to the margin, and the 
yellow distal margin of the hindwing being more dentate; forewing beneath plain orange. South East Mindanao.
