by a black spot. A fine dark subterminal line. Hindwing at the costal margin rusty brown, at the inner margin 
greyish-brown. Interior and exterior lines parallel, strongly angled. Before the tails a light line. 22 mm. 
Pulo Laut. 
E. canibrunnea Warr. Liver-brown, dusted with bluish-grey. Lines of forewing fine and pale. The first 
line excurved from Gt of the costal margin to the median vein, then straight inward. Second line from behind 
the middle of the costal margin straight to the centre of the inner margin. Between the lines darker brown. 
A dark brown subapical spot edged with light. Hindwing with two bent parallel lines and a bluish-grey sub¬ 
marginal band. 16 mm. New Guinea. 
E. friangulifera Warr. (59 1). Forewing brownish, dusted with grey, lines dark brown. The first 
indistinct on x / 3 costal margin, the second thick on %, and the third submarginal. Cellular spot brown, linear. 
Exterior line of hindwing obtuse-angled, with pale edges. On the median vein and cross-vein a brown line. 
At the dents dusted with brown. 18 mm. Salomons Is. 
E. suffusca Swh. Forewing dingy brown, not marked. On the hindwing traces of a dark, brown median 
band. Marginal line pink, inside edged with dark. 15 mm. Fergusson I. 
E. ambusta Warr. Forewing rounded, hindwing somewhat undulate, otherwise as the preceding species. 
Forewing reddish ochreous, dusted with grey. Interior line rusty brown, twice angled. Basal area greyish- 
brown. Exterior line from behind the middle obliquely distad, then less distinct to % inner margin. There a 
rusty brown spot. Submarginal line also rusty brown. Hindwing violettish-grey. Basal line twice angled. 
A pure white triangular discal spot. Exterior line dark rusty brown, bent in the middle, outside lighter edged. 
From the upper dent to the anal angle somewhat yellowish. 16 mm. Banda. 
E. argillodes Trnr. Distal margin of forewing somewhat excised below the apex. Greyish-white, 
dusted brown, mar Icing dark brown. A spot below l / 3 costal margin and above 2 / 5 inner margin forms the rest 
of the interior line. Exterior line marked by one dot each on % costal margin and % inner margin. Below 
the apex a distinct spot, continued as a dark marginal line. On the hindwdng traces of an interior line at % 
inner margin. Exterior line distinct, from below the costal margin to % inner margin, in the $ more indistinct. 
20—26 mm. Queensland. 
E. basipuncta Warr. Dingy white, dusted with grey, lines dark grey. The first from x / 3 costal margin, 
in the middle obtuse-angled to the centre of the inner margin. The second from 3 / 5 of the costal margin obliquely 
distad to vein 4, incurved on vein 2, then to % inner margin. Before it a pale brown shadow. A dark sub¬ 
marginal line to vein 2. Distal margin dark grey. On the hindwing both the lines are ochreous grey, sharply 
angled at vein 4. Marginal area pearl-grey. Distal margin of forewing slightly incurved below the apex, pro¬ 
jecting below the middle. Hindwing with sharp dents at the apex, vein 7 and 4. 15 mm. New Guinea. 
E. bipuncfigera Warr. Greyish-brown, dusted bluish. A pale bent oblique band from y 3 costal margin, 
inside edged darker. Exterior band excurved from % costal margin to vein 4. Apex and marginal shadow 
brown, on the cross-vein 2 black dots. Hindwing brown. Exterior line thick, dark, angular at vein 4, before 
and behind it incurved. Apex and marginal line darker. Cross-vein with 2 dots. Distal margin of fore wing 
as in basipuncta , hindwing with dents at veins 7 and 4, a small one at 6, towards the anal angle undulate. 
24 mm. New Guinea. 
E. dobboensis Pag. Similar to instabilata (clesistaria , 59 e), but the distal margin of the forewing excised. 
White with punctiform and strigiform markings. Forewing at the apex and excision blackish. In the centre 
of the wing 2 rows of black dots. On the hind wing the latter are more distinct at the inner margin. 12 mm. Aru. 
Forewing at the distal margin from veins 7—4 more incurved. Hind¬ 
wing with a dent at veins 7 and 4. 
E, suisharyonis Strd. (59 1). In the forewing similar to quadricaudata p. 587, but the excision stronger. 
The interior line distinct, rectangularly angled, exterior line not interrupted. On the hindwing both lines 
sharply angled, light-edged, interior line with a white V. Above the lower tail white submarginal dots. 30 mm. 
Formosa. 
E. stigniatalis Warr. Pale wood-coloured with undulate brown streaks. Lines indistinct. The first 
as a brown streak and cellular spot. The exterior line from a blackish-brown spot at '- 3 costal margin outwards, 
obsolete at vein 4, terminating as a large blackish-brown spot at % inner margin. Before the excision, and a 
spot at the anal angle brown. Hindwing with a fine basal line and a nut-brown exterior line which is obtuse- 
angled at vein 4. Costal margin and cell violettish brown, in the cell a brown ring-spot. Between the dents 
deeply excised. 25 mm. New Guinea. 
E. eupeplodes Warr. (59 1). Pale pearl-grey with a brown cloud before the centre of the distal margin 
on the fore wing. Lines red-brown. The first on y 3 , sharply angled below the costal margin, then undulate to 
the inner margin, with brown spots. Exterior line from before % costal margin, below it bent and undulate 
to % inner margin, parallel to the first line. At the excision a brown streak, and 2 black dots above it, in the 
cell 2 black dots. Hindwing whitish with 3 short black lines at the base near the inner margin. Exterior line 
pale, edged with brown, sharply angled at vein 4. Cross-vein with a black double dot. Margin lilac grey. In
