form is white. New Guinea. In this species the serrations of the $ antennae are slighter, but accompanied 
by ciliations and bristles. 
Sect. IV. (Penza). Antennae of <$ with pedicellate fascicles of cilia, the apex ser¬ 
rate, the shaft strongly incurved; hind tibiae of <$ not dilated. 
E. puncticeps Walk. Forewing ferruginous fuscous with a cinereous gloss; the lines darker, den- puncticeps. 
tate, but indistinct; the reniform large, grey, with a reddish suffusion round it; hindwing greyish fuscous; 
in the aberration niveiplaga Walk, the reniform is bright white, the lower half large, the upper small and niveiplaga. 
round, with a small white dot on its inner side, as in peninsulata Walk. Sarawak, Borneo and the Malay 
peninsula. 
Sect. V. Antennae of $ unipectinate with distinct branches, the apical third . 
serrate; hindtibiae of very much dilated, with exaggerated tufts of purple hairs be¬ 
hind, extending to end of tarsi; the median spurs absent. 
E. oenolopha Trnr. (13 k). Forewing purplish fuscous; the lines dark with paler edges, outcur- oenolopha. 
ved and waved, generally obscure; subterminal preceded by contiguous dark marks, outcurved below 
middle and indented on submedian fold; reniform stigma oblique, generally obscure, sometimes filled in 
with black, or more rarely, in the aberration leucoplaga ab. nov., with white; hindwing dark fuscous; leucoplaga. 
in the ab. rufaria ab. nov. (13 1) the ground colour is rufous, and the markings less distinct ; the reni - rufaria. 
form blackish, sometimes biangulate below; this may be a distinct species, as the apex of forewing 
is more produced and the termen more obliquely and evenly curved; both sexes alike. North Australia. 
E. confusa spec. nov. (131). Forewing brown mixed with rufous, especially along the folds; confusa. 
lines dark, but obscure; the outer and subterminal clearer, sometimes edged with paler; in most cases a pale 
triangular blotch on inner margin before outer line; the reniform obscure, filled in with plumbeous and 
edged with pale; hindwing fuscous brown; the tufts on hindtibiae purplish; head and thorax brownish; 
the abdomen greyer. Milne Bay and Aroa River, New Guinea; the single $, from Humboldt Bay, is paler, 
more rufous. 
E. diloba Hmps. (13 1). Forewing silky brownish with darker brown suffusion in places; inner diloba. 
and outer lines broad and pale, margined with dark brown, both outcurved; subterminal line pale, whitish 
at costa, preceded by some black marks above the middle of wing; reniform stigma white, shaped 
something like a chess pawn, the upper lobe much smaller than the lower; apical area blackish, especially 
the costa beyond outer line; hindwing pale to dark fuscous. The species, as usual, varies much; some¬ 
times the inner half is darker and the outer lighter; in an example from Fergusson Island, subsp. 
nigricans subsp. nov. (13 1) the whole forewing is blackish, with all the markings hidden except the white nigricans. 
reniform and the white dots at end of veins in the terminal line; the whole hindwing blackish fuscous. 
Described originally from Borneo; also occurs in the Malay Peninsula, Fergusson Island, Ron Island, and 
New Guinea. 
Sect. VI. Antennae of $ with basal half of shaft armed with uniseriate pedi¬ 
cellate fascicles of cilia, the terminal half serrate; hindtibiae with large tufts of 
hair; anal segment of abdomen with whitish hair. 
E. purpurea sp. nov. (13 1). Forewing dark brown, with an undertone of dull red; the inner purpurea. 
and outer lines darker, sinuous, generally very obscure except below middle, at inner margin accom¬ 
panied by whitish scales; subterminal line irregular, diffusely paler, preceded by a deeper shade; reni¬ 
form stigma leaden fuscous, with slight pale outline; fringe concolorous; hindwing dull purple red, the 
termen and inner margin leaden fuscous; $ smaller, more uniformly brown, with indications of a pale dif¬ 
fuse patch beyond middle of inner margin; hindwing fuscous, without any red; underside of both wings 
in rj dull red, the apex and termen of forewing blackish; in $ glossy brown grey, the apex of fore wing 
dull brown; head, thorax, pectus, and dorsum dark brown; legs brown; venter and tibial tuft red; anal 
tufts whitish; venter in $ grey; the ab. albistigma ab. nov. (13 1) has the reniform white. Expanse of albistigma. 
wings: £ 28 mm; $ 22 mm. 4 2 $$ from the Solomon Islands in the Tring Museum. 
Sect. VII. Antennae of $ almost simple, thickened, lamellate; hindtibiae of $ 
with dense tufts of hair. 
E. simplex spec. nov. (131). Forewing ferruginous rufous, darker in basal half and again before simplex. 
termen; markings hardly visible; the outer line irregularly crenulate, outcurved in upper half; reni¬ 
form filled up with fuscous, especially the lower lobe, with slightly paler outline; fringe dark brown; hind¬ 
wing fuscous with a reddish tinge; fringe paler; underside of both wings ferruginous; head, thorax, 
abdomen and legs rufous; tibial tuft purple. Expanse of wings 24mm. 4 from the Poeh Mts, Sara¬
