fuscous; in the which are generally more uniform in colour than the <$<$, the subterminal line is 
rarely so pale as in the in the ab. invicta Walk. (13 h) the groundcolour is darker, purplish invicfa. 
brown rather than rufous; in the ab. particolor ab. nov. (13 h) the basal and terminal areas are dark particolor. 
brown, the intervening space lilac grey; in this form the course of the lines and the outline of the 
reniform stigma are both clearly visible; the form in which the halves of the reniform are snowwhite, 
which in this species seems hitherto not to have received a distinguishing name may be known as 
ab. stigmatica ab. nov. (13 h). Originally described from Borneo, this widely distributed insect, known at once stigmatica. 
by its long straight palpi, is found in the Malay Peninsula, Java, Mysol, Samar, Celebes, Sula Besi, Buru, 
Goodenough, Woodlark, St. Aignan, and Sud Est islands, New Guinea, and Queensland. 
Subsect. B. ( Seria ). Palpi of <$ with second segment shorter, more curved, not 
reaching above vertex. 
E. cyathicornis Walk. (13h). Forewing dark brown throughout; the lines darker, but often indis- cyathicornis. 
tinct, denticulate; subterminal line pale, defined by dark spots on its inner side; the reniform stigma 
curved, oblique, constricted in middle, the two halves filled in with leaden grey and finely outlined 
with pale; fringe dark brown; the terminal line interrupted by pale dots at the vein ends; in the 
form antennata Moore (13 i), corresponding to the ab. 'particolor of ceneusalis, the space between the dark antennata. 
brown basal half and the terminal area is pale grey suffused with rufous. Slightly smaller and darker than 
ceneusalis, this species is found in Borneo, Java, Sikkim, Bhutan, Bengal, Assam, and E. Pegu. 
E. subjecta Walk. (13 i). Forewing dark brown with the outer half of median area paler; the subjecta. 
lines indistinct, crenulate; the halves of the reniform filled up with plumbeous or dark brown finely 
pale-edged; a darker brown shade along lower edge of cell extending as dark streaks across the pale 
outer area to termen; the subterminal line formed of pale dark-eclged spots, rarely forming a line; in 
bipars Moore (13 i) the inner half is dark brown, the outer half rufous grey, with the fringe dark brown; bipars. 
in rufula Hmps. (13 i)) the whole wing is uniformly dark brown; in renalis Moore the reniform stigma is rufula. 
composed of two snowwhite spots; hindwing fuscous. The type of subjecta Walk, was erroneously d q- renalis. 
scribed as from Bogota (? Bangalore); it occurs in the Khasia and Naga Hills, Assam, the Nilgiri Hills, 
Madras, Bangalore, Ceylon, the Andamans (whence the type of renalis ), the Malay peninsula, Java, 
and Borneo; the species is still smaller than cyathiformis. 
E. ustula Hmps. (13 i). Forewing glossy rufous with some dark brown dusting; inner line dark, ustula. 
double, filled in with pale rufous, wavy and vertical; outer line indistinct, minutely waved, incurved below 
vein 3 and bent outwards on vein 1; the subterminal line interrupted into small dark spots externally 
edged with pale; orbicular stigma a pale dark-ringed dot; reniform constricted at middle, the halves 
filled in with brown and outlined with pale; fringe redbrown; hindwing fuscous; the $$ are, as a 
rule, darker than the <$<$. The smallest species of the group; recorded from the Malay Peninsula, 
Borneo, and Java; a specimen from the Khasia Hills in Tring Museum. 
Sect. II. Antennae of $ with basal half of shaft ciliated; a small swelling 
at middle formed of curved serrations; the shaft beyond pectinated above and 
ciliated below, with the apical part serrate; hind tibiae of $ dilated and fringed 
with very long hair. 
E. semipecten Swinfi. Forewing dark glossy purplish fuscous as far as subterminal line; terminal semipeden. 
area paler, purplish grey; inner margin below the submedian fold browner; lines very indistinct, both 
plainer at inner margin, where they are blackish with some paler scales on each side; outer line start¬ 
ing from a pale costal streak; terminal line black, interrupted by pale dots at the ends of veins; fringe 
dark brown; reniform bilobed, oblique, plumbeous; hindwing fuscous brown; in the ab. fuscistigma fuscistigma. 
ab. nov. (13 i) the lobes of the reniform are fuscous. Brisbane, Queensland, N. Australia. 
E. mediorufa Hmps. Differs from semipecten in the basal half of wing being rufous and the ter- mediorufa. 
minal half paler, glossy grey; the costa and lines rufous; the inner curved, the median oblique below 
cell; the outer denticulate, externally pale-edged, incurved below vein 3; the subterminal line pale, 
with a rufous shade preceding it, incurved on the folds, outcurved to termen at middle; reniform 
sligma two brown spots, faintly defined by whitish; hindwing glossy, pale suffused with redbrown. De¬ 
scribed from a single from Borneo. 
Sect. III. Antennae of <$ bi pectin ate with well developed pectinations. 
Subsect. A ( Desana ). Antennae of $ shortly bipectin ate, the apex ciliated. 
E. dinawa Beth.-Baker (13 i). Forewing yellow, suffused with fuscous brown and orange red; dinawa. 
the inner and outer lines thick and black, edged with yellowish, more broadly towards inner margin; 
the inner line strongly inangled on vein 1; the outer lunulate dentate and slightly excurved between veins 
6 and 2; subterminal line indicated by a dark shade preceding it, biangulate externally; a dark median
