E. iturina Karsch (41 b). The is dark yellow-brown or light chestnut-brown above and has the usual Hurina. 
dark transverse bands narrow and continuous, only the fourth is almost completely broken up into rounded 
spots; the distal margin of the forewing is moderately emarginate and the submarginal line of the hindwing 
strongly undulate or almost angled; under surface of the wings grey-brown; in the forewing the distal part 
from the middle of the hindmargin to the apex is dark brown with the inner margin almost straight and encloses 
a transverse row of 5 slightly lighter, rounded, dark-pupilled spots posteriorly increasing in size; the inner boun¬ 
dary-line of this triangular dark brown distal border is proximally accompanied by an undulate dark brown 
line and the interspace between the two is filled up with dirty grey; hindwing beneath with two contiguous 
brown ring-spots in the cell, near the costal margin shortly before the middle of cellule 7 with a dirty white 
transverse spot and behind this with a washed-out brown arcuate band. In the $ the apical part of the fore¬ 
wing from the middle of the costal margin to the hinder angle is blackish with a white subapical band 
composed of three spots in cellules 4—6 and thick white rings to the submarginal spots in cellules 2—4; 
the basal half of the forewing and the hindwing are yellow-brown with incomplete or indistinct black mark¬ 
ings, only the submarginal line of the hindwing is sharply expressed, continuous and acutely angled; un¬ 
der surface lighter than in the <$, greenish or yellowish grey with the same markings as in the <$. Congo 
region, on the Ubangi and Ituri Rivers. 
E. brunhilda Kirby. Under this name Kirby described as the a form which seems to be identical brunhilda. 
with laetitia and as the $ a species which is unknown to me. The description of the § is as follows: ,,Fe¬ 
male tawny; anterior wings with the apical half brown, an irregular white blotch on the costa just beyond 
the middle, and a submarginal row of bluish-white spots, the larger ones centred with black, and the last of 
the series replaced by a black spot; posterior wings with a submarginal row of dusky markings, followed 
within by a row of obsolete dusky spots. Underside pinkish grey, with some indistinct annular markings in the 
cells, and the light markings of the upperside reproduced; a pale spot at the apex of the anterior wings, 
from below which a brown band curves inwards to the middle of the inner margin, and outwards across 
the middle of the posterior wings“. This description is not adequate to differentiate the species with certainty 
from its allies. Cameroons. 
E. chriemhilda Stgr. (44 d). The $ stands in almost exactly the same relationship to the allied species chriemhilda. 
as zonara $ to the other species of the second group; the upper surface is lighter, dark orange-yellow, 
and the black transverse bands are narrow and almost completely broken up into free spots; in addition the black 
submarginal line of the hindwing is almost uniformly curved, neither undulate nor dentate; the under surface 
recalls that of iturina <$, but differs in not having the apex of the forewing divided by the dark band. The $ 
very nearly agrees with that of iturina, but has the subapical band of the forewing less dentate and the 
clai'k transverse bands more distinct and differs particularly in the almost uniform, not sharply angled sub¬ 
marginal line on the upperside of the hindwing; the undersurface has the ground-colour fleshy grey. Usagara,

E. fulgurata Auriv. is only known in the female. The wings are brown above in the basal half and at fulgurata. 
the distal margin, but between the second band and the sharply angled submarginal line have for the most 
part a whitish ground-colour, in which are placed the free blackish spots of the third and fourth transverse rows; 
the under surface is brownish at the base and whitish grey in the distal part; somewhat before the middle 
a row of whitish, dark-edged spots runs from the hindmargin of the forewing, straight as far as vein 4 and then 
bent round towards the middle of the costal margin. Lingunda, Congo. 
E. congolensis Capronn. is a third species very nearly allied to iturina and chriemhilda ; it differs congolensis. 
from both in having the submarginal line on the upperside of the hindwing formed of proximally open crescents 
or weakly undulate. In the $ the ground-colour of the upper surface is dark yellow-brown and the transverse 
bands continuous or nearly so; the under surface is very dark brown with two light yellow transverse spots 
in the cell, a light yellow subapical band on the forewing and a large, almost quadrate light yellow spot before 
the middle of cellule 7 on the hindwing; the latter is slightly mixed with violet-grey scales at the anal 
angle. The $ differs in having the ground-colour of the upper surface grey-greenish, with only the apex 
of the forewing outside the subapical band black; the transverse bands are rather distinct but broken up into 
spots; the subapical band of the forewing is of almost uniform breadth and pure white, posteriorly it is joined 
to the very thick light yellow rings of the fourth transverse row in cellules 2—4; the under surface is 
marked like that of the <d, but much lighter. Congo to Uganda. 
E. phranza Hew. (41 b) may be known at once by the large snow-white spot in cellule 7 on the hind- phranza. 
wing beneath; behind this there are two small white spots in cellules 5 and 6. In the the wings are dark 
yellowish brown above with sharply defined black transverse markings; the second transverse band of the fore¬ 
wing is thick and deep black, the third on the other hand narrow and at the costal margin indistinct; the 
submarginal line is placed near to the distal margin and is on the hindwing weakly and somewhat irregularly 
undulate; the under surface is dark grey-brown, rather uniform and with indistinct markings; the costal mar-
