E. concinnuia Warr. (59 d). Chalky white. Lines of forewing pale brown. The first on 1 / 3 , sharply angled concinnula 
in the middle. The second from % of the costal margin to % inner margin, slightly excurved below the costal 
margin, between them dusted with brown. Hindwing with an interrupted interior and bent exterior line.

the anal angle. Three fine black dots below the apex. Hindwing with a black spot at the cell-end. A fine bent 
brown line from the centre of the costal margin to vein 2 at the distal margin; from there a pale line to the 
centre of the inner margin. A second line from the apex to vein 2 and then to the anal angle. At vein 2 a black 
spot. 24 mm. Buru. 
E. buruana Holl. Forewing at the apex pointed. Grey with black dots. One in the centre of the cell, buruana.

yellow double line. At the costal margin some dark spots. At the distal margin not ochreous brown. Hindwing 
the same. The exterior double line strongly angled. 19 mm. Khasia Mts. 
E. fulvata Warr. (59 d). White. On the forewing a black basal spot in the cell and a few at the costal fulvata. 
margin. An irregular orange band from the centre of the costal margin to the anal angle. Such spots at the 
costal margin and distal margin near the apex. Hindwing with an orange spot below the base of the cell, 
distal area similarly coloured. Exterior line black, double, extending to vein 4. 16—18 mm. Khasia Mts. 
E. ustiplaga Warr. White, dusted with brown. On the forewing traces of an interior line on 1 , . An ustvplaga. 
interrupted line in the centre of the wing, enclosing a dark cellular spot and inner-marginal spot. At the costal 
margin before the apex and at the inner margin before the anal angle a brown spot. Subapical spot black, 
below it brown. Hinclwing white, distal area yellowish, in the middle dusted with black. Traces of a median 
line. 17 mm. Hainan. 
E. exsangius Warr. is similar to fulvilinea (59). Forewing with 3 reddish-yellow transverse lines. The exsanguis. 
first on %, thick and interrupted, bent. The second in the middle, double, twice angled, on its inside above 
vein 1 a black spot. The third composed of a spot at the costal margin and angle, between them only a shadow. 
Lines on hindwing the same, but the second without the black spot. The third accompanied by dark dusting. 
15—17 mm. Hainan. 
E. paradeicta Warr. (59 d). Similar to exsanguis. White. On the forewing in the middle a double paradeicta. 
yellow band. On its inside between the veins 2 and 3 a brown spot. Anal angle dark. Subapical spot fine 
and black. Hindwing with an ochreous basal spot. A faded yellow shadow from the costal margin near the 
apex to the centre of the wing, where it emanates from the basal spot to the distal margin. A dark yellow 
spot behind the cell. 20 mm. Celebes. 
E. apicalis Hmps. White, finely dusted with ochreous brown. Wings with traces of an interior, median apicalis. 
and exterior band. Forewing at the distal margin as far as vein 4 violettish-brown with black dots. Hindwing 
with a dark spot at the exterior band. Black marginal dots at the small tails. 20 mm. India, Burma. 
E. bicaudata Mr. Forewing white with antemedian black dots. Exterior line nut-brown, undulate, bicaudata. 
angled at vein 4; behind it smoke-brown, excepting the apex and anal angle. Hindwing similar. Near the 
anal angle blackish. — In rufimargo Warr. (59 d) the distal margin is reddish brown. fuscifrons Warr. (59 d) rufimargo. 
is somewhat larger. On the forewing the apex and anal angle are of a pure white. On the hindwing the distal fuscifrons 
margin is rusty brown. Head and palpi dark brown, in the type white. 22—24 mm. Sikkim, Khasis. 
E. restricta Hmps. (59 e). Similar to bicaudata, with dark streaks at the costal margin of the forewing restricta. 
and a more irregular exterior band. Distal area quite smoke-brown, but the anal angle as far as vein 3 white.
