respectively to subterminal line; the veins finely black; the underside of both wings pale, without the usual black 
markings; yet another form, ab. variegata ab. nov. (6 b), from Roebourne, is much suffused with blackish, espe- variegala. 
cially on inner margin as far as submedian fold between the two lines and as a costal patch before subterminal 
line, which is pale and distinct; the claviform stigma is shorter; both median vein and vein 1 are black outlined 
with white as in repanda', hindwing in both sexes white, with veins and termen in apical half dark fuscous. 
Throughout Australia, Tasmania, N. Zealand, Norfolk Island, and the Friendly Islands. 
E. fumipennis Warr. (6b). Larger than radians', forewing more luteous than grey in groundcolour, fumipennis. 
suffused throughout with deep smoky blackish; the ground colour only showing as a diffuse band beyond outer¬ 
line ; the filling up of the inner line, the median nervure, the annulus of the orbicular stigma, and the subter¬ 
minal line are all pale and distinct, this last sometimes broken up into separate spots; a thick blackish, nearly 
vertical, median shade passes over the reniform; stigmata and lines as in radians ; hindwing white, with the 
veins more strongly brown; the whole wing, except the cell and space beyond, tinged with pale fuscous, more 
thickly along the margins; the termen with a broad diffuse blackish border, partially darkening the fringe; 
underside of forewing shining dull grey with the termen darker; hindwing white, with all the margins blackish.

E. porphyricollis Guen. (= orthosioides Walk.) (6 b). Forewing reddish grey thickly strigulated with porphyri- 
dark fuscous; the lines subobsolete; a dark cloud before subterminal line, thick at costa, but fading out at mid- co ^ lls - 
wing; stigmata- black; the orbicular a dot or round spot within a brown ring; reniform often diffuse, some¬ 
times, like the orbicular, encircled by brown; hindwing brownish, paler in basal half; head and thorax rufous 
or grey; the collar purplish; abdomen fuscous grey; palpi, lower half of face, and the forelegs white; an excecl- 
ingly variable species both in colour and strength of markings, which partly accounts for its numerous syno¬ 
nyms; ab. graphiphorides Walk. (= summa Walk.) (6 c) is uniform brick red without grey admixture, and graphi- 
sometimes flushed with brown; the two lines faintly traceable, the outer lunulate-dentate, deeper red, both pkorides. 
marked on costa by pale spots between dark red ones; subterminal line faintly paler, preceded by a deeper 
red shade; stigmata varying as in the type form; — ab. dorsicinis Walk. (6 b) is a smaller form, brownish dorsicinis. 
red, or dull yellow brown without red admixture; — - ab. rubrilinea Walk. (= pectinata Walk. (6 c) is a lilac rubrilinea. 
grey form, often flushed with dull pale purplish in outer half of wing, and with the transverse lines distinct; 
nearly all the specimens included under the above name, are rfG; the form recondita Walk. (6 c), a is dark recondita. 
grey or fuscous suffused with pale redbrown, and with darker striations; — albinasus Walk. (= albipalpis Walk.) albinasus. 
are large dark fuscous, with the markings still darker but indistinct, and without strigulations; — the form 
lapidosa Walk. (= baueri Feld.) (6 c) is pale grey thickly strigulated with blackish fuscous, and in the $ suffused lapidosa. 
with dark, except the terminal area; the lines broken and often obsolete; claviform stigma small, pale, with 
thick black outline, sometimes lost in a quadrate black patch; orbicular round, leaden grey in centre; reniform 
blackish, sometimes showing traces of a white annulus on inner side; hindwing pale grey in $, whitish in $ 
with a broad dark terminal border, generally diffuse inwardly, but sometimes in the <$ concisely margined; 
this will probably prove distinct, when the different forms are bred. The species occurs throughout Australia 
and in Tasmania. 
E. segetum Schiff. (= praecox Hbn. nec L., fervida Hbn., sicula Bsd., dimidia Zell., sicania Guen., segetum. 
certificata Walk., ingrata Btlr., fucosa Btlr., aversa Walk., correcta Walk., conspurcata Walk., repulsa Walk., 
lassa Swinh.) (6 c), (cf. Vol. 3, p. 25, pi. 5 d), where are figured palaearctic specimens of this species; the speci¬ 
mens pi. 6 c are from N. India. Forewing typically clear reddish brown, the lines and stigmata distinct; costa 
and outer margin sometimes blackish; hindwmg shining white, with veins and margin dark; $ darker, some¬ 
times black, with all the markings obscured. This abundant Palaearctic and Aethiopian insect occurs through¬ 
out India and in Ceylon. The types of the last 5 synonyms inserted above, viz. aversa, correcta, conspurcata, 
and repulsa, all Walker's and lassa Swinh. are from Indian localities; the African synonyms are not included 
here. Of this very variable species no less than 12 aberrations have been described or figured by European and 
British Authors. — ab. segetis Hbn. (cf. Vol. 3, pi. 5 d) has the forewing grey with the costa broadly black brown; segetis. 
—- ab. caliginosa Esp. ( = segetum Hbn. nec Schiff., sordida Haw.) is redbrown, like typical segetum, but much caliginosa. 
clouded with blackish, especially on outer margin; —- while ab. fuscosa Esp. is pale grey with a slight redbrown fuscosa. 
tinge and blackish outer margin; ab. catenatus Haw. is a whitish grey insect, with outer line moniliform, touch- catenatus. 
ing the reniform, the marginal spots confluent into a line; -— ab. pectinatus Haw. resembles the preceding, peclinatus. 
but the claviform stigma is very small and the outer line lunulate dentate; — ab. spinulus Haw. has the outer spinulus. 
line excurved round the reniform, not touching it, and an obsolete row of pale spots before outer margin; — in 
ab. connexus Haw. the upper stigmata are united by a double line and the acute claviform emits a line to outer connexus. 
margin; ab. corticcus (recte corticeus) Haw. has the orbicular tridentate instead of round, and the transverse lines corticcus.
