subterminal line interrupted, consisting of irregular golden green spots preceded by dark blotches; fringe 
purplish, with small white spots beyond veins at base and large ones in the apical half; claviform stigma 
a white lunule; orbicular a round white spot; reniform large, with two purple spots in its upper half 
and the lower edge excised at middle; all three surrounded by blackish shading; median shade blackish, 
angled at middle; hindwing brownish fuscous with dark cellspot and outer line; vein 2 thick and dark 
with a white terminal streak before it; fringe brown chequered with white. Sikkim, N. India. This species, 
the largest of the group, is distinguished by both sexes having dark hindwings. 
E. gemmifera Walk. (16 i). Smaller than decorata; forewing more uniformly red brown, with gemmifera. 
faint purplish suffusion; the white lines and markings broader; hindwing in <$ whitish with the apex 
fuscous, the termen also slightly shaded, and with darker veins; a dark cellspot and outer line; terminal 
line dark; fringe mottled dark and light; in the $ the hindwing is much darker. Khasia Hills, Assam, 
and Sikkim; the locality of the type was unknown; — ab. similis Moore (16 i) from the Punjab differs considerably; similis. 
the ground colour of forewing is more purplish grey; the white lines are much finer; the subbasal angled 
outwards on median vein; the outward edging of the outer line paler, more lustrous; in the ab. suffusa suffusa. 
ab. nov. (16 k) all the white markings are suffused with dull bronzy red. 
E. laetevirens Oberth. (16 i). The same size as gemmifera ; the white lines much finer; the liori - laetevinns. 
zontal streak from inner line longer and more club-shaped; all the stigmata smaller and less conspicuous; 
the outer line more distinct; the veins towards termen paler; the subterminal line continuous; hindwing, 
as in decorata , brownish fuscous in both sexes with dark cellspot and outer line; fringe with distinct 
pale line at base. A single of this palaearctic species is in the Tring Museum from the Khasia Hills, 
taken Octr. 1895. 
E. novaeguineae Beth.-Baker (16 i). Forewing velvety brown in median area, black ($) or dark novae- 
olive brown (^) in basal and terminal areas; subbasal line broad, silvery white, excurved round whit e gaineae. 
basal spots; inner line oblique, swollen in submedian interval, emitting a beaklike projection basewards 
and bent outwards below vein 1, followed immediately by a large silvery white lunule, connected with 
outer line by a greenish patch on a black line; orbicular oval, reniform quadrate, excised on upper and 
lower edges; outer line lunulate dentate, the teeth silvery on veins towai'ds inner margin; terminal area 
deep brown or black in 3 patches; the first from costa to vein 5; the next from vein 5 to 2; the third 
much narrower from 2 to inner margin; a row of black terminal lunules, preceded by small golden lunules 
above submedian fold and veins 4, 5, and 7 and by larger ones above veins 2, 3, and 6; those on 
submedian fold, and above veins 5 and 7 preceded by lustrous brown patches; fringe silvery splashed 
with brown; hindwing in dark brownish fuscous, in $ blackish, with the base whiter; a dark cell- 
spot and outer line. Xew Guinea. 
E. submarginata Warr. (16 i). Paler, more rufous brown, than in novae-guineae ; the claviform submargi- 
stigma much narrower, and like the other stigmata more greenish white; the outer line with its outer nata - 
edge paler and more lustrous; the submarginal line distinct, silvery green, oblique from costa before 
apex to vein 7, along which it runs outwards and is angled, curved inwards to above vein 5, curved 
outwards to vein 2, along which it runs inwards, then vertical to inner margin; terminal lunules cream 
colour, in one specimen with brown lunules behind them; hindwing rufous brown, paler basewards; palpi 
beneath, the top of second segment, and the third wholly white; the shoulders rufous like thorax, tipped 
with greenish white. Xew Guinea. 
E. tenuilinea Warr. (16 i). Forewing olive fuscous; agreeing generally with the last two species; tenuilinea. 
but the white lines are much narrower, the inner line edged with black externally; the claviform stigma 
longer; the subterminal line very obscure and interrupted; a row of large black terminal lunules edged 
with pale; fringe brown with a dark middle line; hindwing dark fuscous along costa and termen, narrowing 
off to anal angle; the inner margin whitish, with the lower end of outer line marked blackish from vein 2 
to margin; the fringe of inner margin white. New Guinea. 
E. argyrospila Warr. (16 k). Forewing brown, appearing in certain lights golden brown, in others argyrospila. 
purplish, sprinkled with lilac scales, which also appear at times obsolete; markings formed of silvery 
white spots and blotches; the lines themselves and the edges of the white marks deeper brown; subbasal 
line preceded by a single costal spot, and followed by a streak below subcostal vein and another costal 
spot; inner line preceded by a white costal spot, a triangular blotch in submedian interval, and a flat¬ 
tened one below vein 1, and followed by a large round-ended claviform stigma; three or four small white 
spots along middle of inner margin; orbicular large and round; reniform 8-shaped with a brown spot 
in centre of each half; outer line starting from a white costal spot above reniform, followed by a flattened 
subcostal white blotch, a rounded one above vein 5, and another elongate flattened one in submedian 
interval; sub marginal followed by two small spots on and below costa before apex, and six white spots 
before termen, the two beyond cell elongate, and the two below them smallest; fringe brown with vio-
