E. ruptifascia Warr. (59 b). Forewing whitish, partly dusted with ochre. Median band shaped as in rupiifaseiu 
nana, greyish-violet, interrupted between veins 2 and 4, edged with brown. Behind it a fine brown line and 
black submarginal spots. On the hindwing only the margins of the median band are distinct, the interior one 
being blackish. A row of grey marginal lunae. Antennae thickened and strongly dentate. 12 mm. Bali. 
E. scissata Wkr. Greyish-brown, dusted with brown. Forewing with 2 indistinct brown lines. Near scissata. 
the apex a white costal streak, marginal dots black. On the hindwing the costal margin is excavated before 
the middle and apex. 25 mm. Mysol. 
E. conflictaria Wkr. (= exprimataria, diffinaria, secutaria Wkr., lilacina Mr.). Violettish-grey, dusted conflictaria 
with brown. Interior line of forewing marked by dots. Exterior line rusty brown, expanded like a spot in the 
centre of the wing and at the inner margin. Before the middle of the distal margin a rusty brown line. Hindwing 
with a radial rusty brown band as far as the cross-vein, where we notice a V-shaped blackish-brown streak. 
Exterior line undulate, strongly angled at vein 4, with brown spots near the inner margin and at the lower 
small tail. — lacteata Warr., from the Fergusson Is., is a large form; — perpolifa Warr. (59 b), from Banda, is lacteata. 
not dusted brown, the dark spot at the exterior line is absent at the inner margin in both wings; — parvula 
Mr., from Ceylon, is smaller and dusted much darker. In specimens from the Suncla Is. (= f. plicata Sn. ?) the 
costal margin of the hindwing is sometimes very light. 18—26 mm. India, Ceylon, Sunda Is., New Guinea. 
E. subflavida Sw. (59 b). Forewing greyish-brown, the lines as in conflictaria. Subterminal line obli- subflavida. 
quely distad as far as vein 3. Hindwing with a subbasal line; the V-shaped streak at the cell-end brown. 
Exterior line brown, angled at vein 4, distally light-edged, inside at the inner margin dark brown. 24—28 mm. 
India, Ceylon, Java. 
E. sponsa Sioh. Grey, dusted with dark brown. Basal half of forewing and of hindwing dusted with tsponsa. 
yellowish-brown. Fore wing with an undulate interior and exterior line nearing each other in the middle; the 
space between darker grey except in the middle. A black streak on the cross-vein and a few submarginal spots. 
Hindwing with a grey radial streak below the cell. The indistinct interior line below the black streak at the 
cross-vein distally angular. In the centre of the distal margin 4 black lunae. 22 mm. Khasis. 
E. catenigera Warr. (59 b). Lilac grey. Very similar to conflictaria-lilacina. Distinguished on forewing catenigera. 
by a somewhat more distinct interior line and especially the continuous row of brown submarginal spots as far 
as the anal angle. 20 mm. Salomons Is. 
E. cretistriga Warr. Very similar to catenigera, but all the dark marking margined with ochreous brown; cretistriga. 
especially distinct on the hindwing at the dark marginal shadow from the upper dent to the anal angle. Hindwing 
not dusted dark. 18—20 mm. Salomons Is. 
E. signifera Warr. (59 b). Larger and whiter than conflictaria. Lines of forewing as in the latter. On signifera. 
the hindwing the exterior line begins at a dark spot at the costal margin, very fine, angled behind the cell, then 
undulate to the inner margin. At the distal margin 5 dark grey lunar spots. 28—32 mm. Salomons Is. 
E. subalbata Gn. (59 b, c). White, finely dusted dark, the marking rusty brown. Interior line of forewing subalbata. 
represented by 2 spots. Besides one spot at the base of vein 2. Exterior line interrupted, from % costal margin 
excurved to vein 4, then indistinct. At % inner margin a more intense spot. Behind it at the costal margin 
and in the submarginal area dark spots. Marginal line dark. Hindwing with a basal and median line of spots 
beginning from the centre of the wing. Exterior line strongly angled, at the beginning and end broad. Towards 
the anal angle a brown line. 24 mm. Borneo. 
E. bellissima Warr. Pale lilac grey. On the forewing an oblique interior line from % costal margin to bellissima. 
a rusty brown cellular spot. A dark oblique line from the centre of the costal margin, bordered with rusty 
brown, as far as vein 4. At the inner margin near the anal angle a double upright spot. Margin dark grey, 
bordered with blackish brown. Hindwing with a nut-brown radial streak. Exterior line nut-brown, in the 
middle obtuse-angular, before it lighter. Between the dents dark grey with a pure white dot at the margin. 
20 mm. Penang. 
E. oculifera Warr. Forewing ochreous grey. First line brown, indistinct on 1 / 3 . The second from 2 3 oculifera. 
costal margin oblique, bent near to the middle of the distal margin, where it is angled, then as a brown spot 
to % inner margin. A straight brown subapical line as far as below the centre of the discal margin. Hind wing 
with a red-brown ring on the cross-vein. Exterior line pale, inside edged with dark, ending at a spot at the 
lower dent. Below it a brown and white spot. 20 mm. Timor. 
E. curvilinea Warr. Reddish-grey, dusted with brown. The first line of the forewing on 1 / 3 , reddish, cnrvilinea. 
indistinct. The second from before % costal margin, blackish-brown, bent, in the middle less strong, ending 
in a spot at the inner margin. A brown line from below the apex to above the anal angle, distally to it red-brown. 
Hindwing with a sharply angled basal line, behind it a brown radial stripe. Exterior line obtuse-angled, dark 
brown, light-edged. 16 mm, Amboina,
