beneath with a yellowish spot at the cell-end, a curved transverse row of such cliscal spots and a row of small, 
yellowish lunae near the margin; between the costal margin and vein 4 a subapical row of such spots. Hindwing 
beneath with two antemarginal rows and an indistinct discal line. Cameroon to Kuilu. 
E. elissa Smith only deviates from catuna (64 g) by the marks mentioned above, and the dark marginal 
band of 2 mm width on the hindwing above. Nigeria, near Warri. 
E. mus Sujj. (65 a) ($?). Wings above one-coloured dark greyish-brown without markings, beneath 
with a light greyish-brown ground-colour. Forewing beneath at the posterior margin as far as vein 2 steel- 
coloured grey; the basal part is, between the base of vein 2 and the costal margin, bordered by a strongly bent, 
whitish, little distinct, dentate line; a somewhat dentate, yellowish-grey antemarginal band. Hindwing beneath 
in the marginal half with three transverse rows of light, dentate striae or bows. Cameroon: Barombi. 
E. mengoensis Baker (65 a). Wings above blackish-brown; forewing in the middle tinted dark violettish- 
blue; hindwing between the veins 1 b and 6 blue with a broad, dark marginal band. Wings beneath dark brown 
with one discal (in the forewing incomplete) and two submarginal transverse rows of yellowish-brown spots. 
Forewing with an acute apex and a convex margin. Uganda: Mengo. 
E. mercedes Sujj. $. Wings above one-colourecl blackish-brown without markings, in a certain 
light with a faint, violet reflection. Forewing beneath in the middle just as dark as above, at the margins some¬ 
what lighter. Cameroon: John Albert Hill. 
E. doleta Ky. (64 g). <$. See above! Forewing beneath not white at the posterior margin; hindwing 
beneath quite monotonously brownish-grey or with light markings as in catuna. Sierra Leone. 
E. cephena Hew. (65 e). Only the $ is known. Wings above blackish; forewing above with a long, 
light blue spot in 1 b, a bluish-white spot in 2 and two white dots at the costal margin in 6 and 9; beneath 
all the spots are white, and the margins of a much lighter colour, only the middle blackish. Hindwing above 
with a blue longitudinal ray covering the discal cell and the bases of the areas 4 and 5 and ending 4 mm distant 
from the margin, beneath light brownish without markings. Gabun. 
E. barombiensis Ky. (65 a). Above different from doleta only by the marks mentioned in the review. 
Hindwing beneath wliitish-grey, speckled with brown, at the margin more densely so than at the base. Cameroon: 
Barombi. 
E. conjuncta Smith. <$. To what has been said above we need only to add that the forewing beneath 
has two small, whitish dots in 4 and 5 at the anterior margin of the black longitudinal stripe and that the 
hindwing beneath is quite monotonously brown. The $ is above one-coloured blackish-brown with 4 small, 
yellowish discal -spots in 4 to 6 and 9. Sierra Leone. 
E. rezia Smith only deviates from conjuncta by the marks mentioned above. Cameroon to Gabun. 
E. pinodoides Smith is very closely allied with the preceding. The differences are stated above. Sierra 
Leone (and ? Uganda). 
E. leonensis Baker (= leona Baker) seems to differ from ‘pinodoides only by a lustrous slate-coloured 
under surface and by the black median stripe extended to the posterior margin on the forewing beneath. In 
the $ both wings are above monotonously dark brown without markings; both wings beneath ochreous-yellow, 
the forewing with a black longitudinal stripe and two small, whitish discal spots. 34 to 41 mm. Sierra Leone. 
E. sublustris Baker. ,,Forewing dark brown, the first two thirds covered with a very dark blue colour, 
the blue colour exhibiting a peculiar lustre, as of a dark Indigo having become oily; hindwing of a bright dark 
blue with broad, dark margins, the veins 2 to 4 black, particularly vein 4, which is black as far as the base. 
Both wings beneath greyish-brown; fore wing at the posterior margin whitish and before the latter as far as 
vein 5 blackish with two whitish discal spots at the anterior margin of the black colour. Hindwing beneath 
monotonously greyish-brown with traces of a postmedian row of spots. —- $. Both wings above monotonously 
dark brown without markings; the under surface as in the Expanse of wings: 34 to 36 mm.“ Sierra Leone. 
E. benitensis Holl., according to Holland, only deviates from E. rezia by the black longitudinal ray 
on the hindwing above. Ogowe River. 
E. pinodes Ham. Bruce. (65 a). Both wings above blackish-brown without markings, in the $ with 
a faint blue reflection; beneath light yellowish-brown; forewing with a sharply defined, jet-black discal stripe 
distally strongly expanded; hindwing with two postmedian transverse rows of yellowish spots. Sierra Leone 
to Lagos.
