E. josiata Wkr. (= nobilis Fldr.) (47 e) <$: blackish-brown. Head and thorax dull ochreous. Palpi 
grey, not reaching the level of the vertex, the terminal joint very small. Legs grey. Wings with pale ochreous 
fringes. Eorewing with a broad ochreous discal band being expanded on the costal margin. Hindwing with 
an extinct ochreous streak. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. Celebes. 
E. distincta Fldr. (44 g) <$: forewing, thorax, apex of abdomen and marginal band of hindwing orange, 
hindwing and abdomen as well as two subparallel, almost equally broad transverse bands on the forewing, not 
reaching the costal margin, black. These bands are about equally distant from each other and from the two 
ends of the wing; the distal one is pointed anteriorly and slightly bent convex in its posterior half towards 
the base. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Moluccas. 
E. discophora Snell. (47 h). golden ochreous-yellowish, the posterior half of thorax, and the wings 
as well as abdomen darker, greyish-brown with a yellowish hue. Fringes golden ochreous-yellowish. Wings 
beneath of the latter colouring, in some places, however darker. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. Celebes. 
E. pallipes Snell. (47 h). head and palpi dark brown, antennal shaft orange-brown, thorax and 
forewing in the ground orange-brown or golden yellow, dusted darker greyish-brown in such a way that two 
lighter transverse bands and a row of spots (whether invariably so?) are faintly noticeable. Fringes greyish- 
brown. Hindwing reddish-black, in the with golden yellow fringes. Abdomen black, at apex haired golden 
yellow. In the $ the fringes of the hindwings are whitish, thorax and antennal shaft yellowish. Expanse of 
wings: $ 30 to 33, $ 45 mm. Celebes. 
E. niveinotum sp. nov. (43 b). $: body black, thoracal dorsum with a roundish, snow-white area 
with fine appressed hair, which is on both sides bordered by the black, long, dehiscent hairing of the tegulae, 
whereby it is still more conspicuous. Antennae brown with whitish base. Anal brush dark grey, in front all 
round bordered by a narrow, yellow transverse band being widened beneath. Tarsi brownish-yellowish. Wings 
dull black, faintly hued brownish-grey, with a light ochreous-yellowish marginal band irregularly defined 
by intermixed darker scales, being at the apex of the forewing 7 mm broad, otherwise in the forewing about 3, 
in the hinclwing scarcely 2 mm; beneath this marginal band is rather broader in the hindwing than in the forewing. 
Expanse of wings: 65 mm. Celebes (Coll. Seitz); Minahassa (Zool. Mus. Berlin). 
E. fulva Btlr. (45 d). <$'■ deep cadmium-yellow, forewing darker than hindwing, and in the basal 
third with a slightly curved, white transverse stripe. Fringes of all the wings pale creamy. Abdomen paler 
along the dorsum. Wings beneath yellowish, paler than above, with whitish margins. Body yellowish. 23 mm. 
It resembles Porthesia lutea. Duke of York Island, New Lauenburg, New Pomerania, Queensland (Port Darwin). 
E. flavipennis Snell. (47 h). Palpi on the sides, antennal pinnae, and under surface of the base of 
the costal margin on the forewing are brownish-oclireous, otherwise the head, thorax and forewings above 
with fringes are golden yellow, hindwings and the under surface of the wings somewhat paler. Abdomen of 
$ somewhat grey. On the forewing traces of 2 transverse lines composed of crescentiform spots. Celebes. 
E. commutanda Sivh. (= immaculata Btlr. nom. praeocc., butleri Sivh. 1907 [sic!]). creamy, fore¬ 
wing above, however, ochreous, antennal pinnae brownish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 21 mm. Duke of York 
Island, New Guinea, Borneo. — From Java (Coll. Seitz) a small, male .Euproctis is before me, probably a 
form of E. commutanda Sivh., distinguished by its still lighter, dirty white colouring; the costal margin of 
the forewing, however, is beneath very faintly ochreous-yellowish, and the abdomen seems to be of the same 
colour; the apex is not specially coloured. Antennal pinnae pale brownish-yellow. Wings above and beneath 
quite the same. Length of wings: 10% mm. Length of body: 8% mm. I call this form: javaniana /. nov. 
E. subnobilis Snell. (= simulans Btlr.) (43 a as simulans). Forewing blackish-brown, at the apex a 
large, ochreous spot. Hindwing in the basal-dorsal half black, in the other half light orange, the border-line 
between the two areas being towards the margin bent convex at the lower angle of the cell. Head, antennae, 
collar, tegulae and prothorax ochreous, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen black. Expanse of wings: 
47 mm. Amboina, Key Islands. -—- It copies the Agaristine Ophthalmis lincea flying at the same locality. — 
In the Aru Islands a form occurs with a narrower orange marginal band of the hindwing: aruana lincea form, 
nov. Our figure denoted with ,, subnobilis" on t. 43 d does not represent a typical specimen, but a form of it 
which I denominate lincea form. nov. 
E. pratti B.-Balc. (46 f). <$: reddish-brown, anal brush white, all the tarsi quite black, the tibiae II 
and III below black. Forewing with lighter veins and sublimbal transverse band being distally deeply dentate, 
and with a large, round, white spot at the cell-end. Hindwing deep ochreous. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. British 
New Guinea, in August.
