Eorewing at the distal margin with two angles. 
E. ocusta Swh. Eorewing angled at veins 6 and 2. Red-brown. Interior and exterior lines strongly 
excurved, terminating into red-brown spots. Submarginal line straight, ochreous brown. Near the anal angle 
2 black spots. Hindwing with an angled interior line with a red-brown spot. Exterior line whitish, strongly 
angled, inside with a red-brown spot. Margin in front orange. 22 mm. Sikkim, Khasis. 
E. brunnea Warr. (59 f). Forewing angled at veins 6 and 3. Greyish-brown, lines thick dark brown. 
The first on 1 / 3 only marked in the cell. The exterior line from % costal margin almost straight, slightly 
excurved at vein 4. An undulate submarginal line as far as vein 3. These two outside edged with rusty brown. 
Distal margin paler. On the hindwing the exterior line is angled at vein 4, outside light-edged. A browrn radial 
streak on the median vein and cross-vein. 24 mm. New Guinea, {y/* 
E. pallidistriata Warr. Eorewing dentate at veins 6 and 4. Brownish-grey, spotted dark, between them 
light radial streaks. First line from ( 4 costal margin to 1 / 3 inner margin pale, outside edged with black, twice 
angled. Exterior line from 3 / 5 costal margin to 4 / 5 inner margin strongly excurved in the middle, pale. Before 
it a black line, behind it a brown one. Before it a black shadow, widened at the middle of the inner margin. 
Apex grey with 3 black streaks. Submarginal band rusty brown. Hindwing with an undulate black basal line. 
In the cell ochreous brown, below it grey scales. Exterior line bent from % costal margin to % inner margin, 
angled at vein 4, yellowish-white, outside edged with brown. At the apex violettish-brown, at the anal angle 
pearl-grey. At vein 4 a little tail, at 7 a hook. 25 mm. New Guinea . 
E. focilloides Pag. Eorewing dentate at veins 6 and 4. Greyish-brown with a reddish-violet reflection. 
Forewing between the angles at the margin and anal angle darker, 2 notched lines feebly marked. On the 
hindwing a dark line parallel to the distal margin to the anal angle. From there a second distinct line in the 
beginning parallel, then in an obtuse angle to the costal margin. Between these two lines dusted with grey. 
Basal area lighter. 18 mm. Amboina. 
Antennae of $ dentate. Distal margin of forewing slightly angled 
at vein 7, hindwing with 2 tails. 
E. irrorata Mr. (59 f). Grey, dusted with brown. Eorewing with an indistinct interior, exterior and 
submarginal line, brown, outside edged with ochreous. Hindwing similar, with a white luniform spot on each 
little tail. 15 mm. India, Ceylon. 
E. inhians Warr. Separated from irrotata by the dark brown ground-colour. Eorewing in the apical 
area reddish-brown; exterior line on both wings sharply angled, edged with black. Hindwing with an oblong 
white cellular streak. 16 mm. North India. 
Antennae of dentate. Eorewing uniformly bent at the distalmar g.i n. 
H i n d w i n g w i t h an inner-marginal fold and a hair-pencil. 
E. scopocera Hmps. Similar to tenebrosa, but the submarginal line of the forewing more irregular, 
incurved between veins 5 and 6. On the hindwing the exterior line is straight and oblique as far as vein 4,; 
where it is sharply angled. Marginal lunae more distinct. 16—20 mm. Ceylon. , 
Antennae of $ with two rows of pectinations. Hindwing angled at 
veins 4 and 7. 
E. nigrifrons Hmps. Whitish, dusted dark brown, especially in the distal portion at the costal margin 
of the forewing. An indistinct rusty brown line from % costal margin strongly excurved below the costal margin. 
A dark submarginal band from veins 7 to 4. Hindwing more uniformly dusted. Subbasal line marked. Exterior 
line double, at vein 4 strongly angled, inside edged with red-brown in the lower portion. A spot on the cross¬ 
vein and the marginal band black. 28 mm. Burma. 
E. pectinicornis Dudg. Greyish-brown, dusted dark. Exterior line red-brown, angled below the lower 
cell-angle. A dark submarginal spot below the apex. On the hindwing the interior line is indistinct. Exterior 
line red-brown, sharply angled at vein 4. A pale marginal line inside edged with red-brown, and 3 black 
marginal dots. 24 mm. Sikkim. 
E. clathrata Warr. (59 f). Forewing pale greyish-brown. The two lines pale, angled at the centre of 
the wing. Behind the interior line and before the exterior line brown spots. Marginal line blackish. Before 
the excision black. Hindwing similarly coloured. Interior line sharply angled, connected with a brown radial 
line through the centre of the wing. 18 mm. Khasis. 
E. castanea Warr. (59 f). Forewing produced at vein 7, then deeply excised as far as vein 3. Hindwing 
excised at the middle of the costal margin. A small tail at vein 4. In the <$ veins 2, 5, 6 and 7 are absent. 
Antennae foliated. Wings grey. Forewing with a broad violettish-brown median band, edged with dark brown.
