E. anna Stoh. (43 f). Both sexes light yellow; palpi at the sides black. Forewing finely dusted brown, 
and with traces of two light transverse lines being curved towards each other. Hindwing hued blackish. Fringes 
yellow. Under surface pale yellow, unmarked. Expanse of wings: 39, $ 49 mm. Kina Balu (Borneo). 
E. gentia Swh. (43 g). $ palpi, antennae, head and anterior part of thorax orange-ochreous, the rest

Antennal combs, the rest of the thorax, and abdomen black, chest and legs light yellow. Wings whitish with a 
black spot at the cell-end, and a blackish hue in the basal area. In the hindwing nearly the whole basal half 
is black and in it the black discocellular spot is visible. Expanse of wings: 41% mm. Kina Balu (Borneo). 
E. virgo Swh. (44 d). E antennae ochreous with white shaft. Head, body, and wings above and

E. celebesa sp. nov. (43 b). <$ resembles E. postnigra Swh. (43 d), but the forewing is not strewn with 
jet-black scales, the white discal spot on the same wing does not enclose a black spot, etc. It also reminds 
us of E. praecurrens Wkr. (43 e), boleora Sivh. and pyroxamha Pag. Forewing pale ochreous speckled with
