E. albinotata Heyl. is allied with E. digramma Bsd. (Vol. II, t. 21 h). Whitish, frons and hindhead inter- albinotata. 
mixed with yellowish scales, antennae with long yellow pinnae. Collar, thorax and forewing in the ground 
white, but so densely strewn with ochreous-yellowish scales that the ground-colour appears only here and there: 
a large, white diffuse spot in the middle of the cell, one on vein la, two near the apex and some smaller ones 
here and there on the surface of the wings. The yellow scales are more densely accumulated particularly 
along the margin, where they form a band. Hindwing white, with some yellowish dusting. Expanse of wings: 
17 mm. Fort de Kock (Sumatra). 
E. flavolimbata Auriv. from Java very much resembles Porthesia scintillans Wkr. (Vol. II, t. 21 h), flavolim- 
but it differs by the non-interrupted yellow marginal band of the forew ing. Posterior half of thorax, and abdomen 
dark grey, wings the same, but with a yellow marginal band, and yellow are also the extremities and the anterior 
half of the thorax. Expanse of wings: $ 35 mm. 
E. sabulosa Heyl. $ head, palpi and collar ochreous, antennae with ochreous pinnae and a lighter sabulosa. 
shaft, thorax greyish-ochreous. Abdomen greyish-black with a yellowish-white anal brush. — Contours of 
forewings as in E. miilleri Snell. (43 f), ground-colour whitish-grey with ochreous and brown dots accumulated 
particularly to a rather broad, oblique transverse band from the anal angle to the apex which it does not fully 
reach. Hindwing greyish-black. All the fringes whitish. £ 64 mm. Buitenzorg (Java). 
E. pyroxantha Pag. antennal shaft whitish, pinnae blackish. Palpi above blackish, below whitish, pyroxantha. 
Legs beneath whitish. Body blackish-brown, anal tuft golden yellow. All the wings above blackish-brown, 
the costal margin, the apical triangle and the distal margin of the forewing whitish. At % of the posterior 
margin, in a darker ground, there is a roundish, white spot, below it a smaller one at the posterior margin and 
next to this distally another one. Hindwing blackish with a white distal margin. All the wings beneath blackisli- 
grey, the distal margins whitish. Celebes (Minahassa). 
E. lunifera Wkr. (39 h). $ brown, aboirt doe-coloured. Thorax with a broad, yellow transverse lunifera. 
band, in front black. Abdomen blackish with an ochreous apex. Wings fringed grey. Forewing with a large, 
transversely elliptical, purely white discal spot margined darker, being in front the most pointed and touching 
the posterior angle of the cell. Hindwing blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 80 mm. Celebes. 
E. repanda Wkr. yellowish-white. Head in front with short dehiscent hair. Palpi porrect, scarcely repanda. 
extending beyond the head. Thorax on each side with a yellow patch. Forewing with four yellow', very irregular 
bands partly broken up into spots and partly being connected. $ yellow. Forewing with ochreous bands, similar 
as in the $. Hindwing brown, in the marginal area yellow. Expanse of wings: 24% to 30 mm. Celebes. 
E. inturbida Wkr. (= megaxantha Wkr.). $ yellow. Antennal pinnae black. Abdomen brown, inturbida. 
anal brush silvery white, ventral side yellow with a silvery white base. Hindwing extending far beyond abdomen. 
Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Celebes; Batschian. (Described by Walker as but according to Swinhoe a $). 
E. praecurrens Wkr. (= globifera Fldr., guttulata Snell.) (43 e). $ doe-coloured. Abdomen brown, praecur- 
at the apex with yellow wool. Forewing with a round whitish spot outside of the discocellular. Hindwing brown rens% 
with yellow fringes. Celebes, Moluccas. ■— boleora Swh. from Borneo seems (S) to deviate from the typical boteora. 
form by the broad yellow marginal band of the hindwing, a yellowish discal spot of the forewing, the 
veins of the forewing being lighter than the ground-colour. Expanse of wings: 48 mm. The species is also men¬ 
tioned from Dinding, Kuching and Sarawak. 
E. signatula nom. nov. {— signata Wkr. [1865] nec Blch. [1844]). yellow, palpi above black, signaiula. 
Abdomen brownish-black, at both ends yellow. Forewing in some places white, speckled with black, with 
an oblique, short, brown streak at the discocellular. Hindwing brown with a yellowish margin. Expanse of 
wings: 73% mm. Celebes. 
E. innotata Wkr. (39 h). • $ forewing, head and chest pale yellowish, scantily dusted black, except innotata. 
in the marginal and costal areas of the forewings; the latter with a sublimbal, orange, extremely indistinct 
transverse band. Hindwing sooty black with yellow fringes, abdomen the same with yellow anal tuft. Expanse 
of wings: 63 mm. Ternate (Moluccas). — conspersa Fldr. (45 k) is considered to be a form of innotata, flying conspersa. 
in the Philippines in December and January, March and April. $ yellow with black abdomen (except anus) 
and black hindwing with yellow marginal band. The has brown forewings which are said to be yellow at 
the distal margin (and costal margin ?), with some lustrous golden scales and two white transverse lines; beneath 
they are black with a yellow costal margin and a yellow, broader distal margin. Length of wings: 14 to 15, 
$ 18 to 21 mm. Described from the Moluccas.
