E. enthearia Swh. White. On the fore wing a bent exterior orange band from below the costal margin 
to the lower cell-angle, where it is widened. An orange spot at the costal margin before the apex. Subterminal 
area brownish. Hindwing with a large yellow marginal spot from vein 5 to the anal angle, with branches to 
the costal margin, in the middle dusted with blackish. 20 mm. Sikkim. 
E. alabastraria Warr. (59 d). Chalky white, marking violettish greyish brown, distinct. A spot at the 
base of the cell and at vein 2. A broad median band of grey streaks, edged with brown spots and interrupted 
below the cell. A spot at the costal margin and near the anal angle, forming the remainders of the exterior line; 
behind them 5 dark marginal spots. Hindwing with a dark radial line and spot in the cell. Exterior line fine, 
partly double, bent at vein 4. A black spot before the apex and a blackish brown spot with an ochreous streak
