E. cyclopis Hmps. (19 c). Forewing pale rufous on a white ground; subbasal line white preceded by brown 
patches below costa and cell and followed by a white striga in cell; inner line double, rufous filled in with white, 
angled on subcostal vein, then curved, emitting an oblique white striga from submedian fold to vein 1; orbi¬ 
cular small, round, with white annulus defined by brown; reniform brown with pale centre and white 
annulus except below, and two white points at lower extremity; outer line double, brown, filled in 
with white, oblique inwards and sinuous below vein 4; subterminal line white, defined internally by 
dark marks from costa to vein 4, formed by oblique bars from costa to vein 7 and between 7 and 6, 
then slight and angled inwards in discal fold, then strong and angled outwards to termen at vein 4, then 
formed of whitish lunules defined on each side by reclbrown; a fine lunulate white line just before 
termen; hindwing reddish brown, paler towards base. Kiriwini and Fergusson Islands. 
E. maillardi Guen. (= recurvata Moore ) (Vol. 3, pi. 44e). Forewing olive brown, darker towards apex and 
in the median costal triangle; veins all finely whitish; lines double, blackish, filled in with white, with 
pinkish white suffusion on each side, especially beyond outer line; inner line angled on median vein; 
outer line sinuous; orbicular stigma a white V; reniform internally edged by an oblique white line, follow¬ 
ed by a dark linear mark on discocellular, the outer edge formed of two thick pinkish white bars; sub¬ 
marginal line finely white, with the usual angulations, followed by pale patches at apex and sub¬ 
median fold; an interrupted silvery white line before termen; hindwing fuscous. Occurs throughout India 
and Ceylon, in Java, Hainan, Formosa, Bali, Tenimber Islands, Amboina, Tambora, Clt. Banda, Kei Is., 
the Louisiades, the Solomons, New Guinea, Queensland, Samoa, Fiji, and the New Hebrides; it is equally 
widely spread throughout S. Africa, and is recorded from China. 
E. exotica Guen. (19 c). Forewing olive brown with a purplish tinge, darker in cell, in basal area, 
and towards termen; the veins yellowish; subbasal line indistinct, except at costa and in a pale striga 
across cell; inner line white at costa, angled on subcostal vein, then double and outcurved, black edged 
on both sides with white, the white on outer side tinged with yellow, very oblique inwards below vein 1, 
emitting a curved white line from submedian fold to vein 1, and followed below orbicular stigma by a diffuse 
pale yellow smudge; orbicular small, oval and oblique, brown in a white ring; reniform conversely oblique, 
narrow, broadly white-edged laterally and below, with a curved yellow linear centre in the brown; the 
median shade indistinctly dentate below middle; outer line white at costa, inwardly oblique, then angled 
and bent out below costa, angled outwardly on vein 8, obscurely lunulate dentate, yellowish edged in¬ 
wardly by a row of black lunules and outwardly by a fine dark line, followed by a belt of slightly 
lustrous grey; subterminal line yellowish white, formed of three rather broad oblique streaks in the inter¬ 
vals below apex, and an angle outwards at termen at vein 4, with a short dash below vein 3; a 
row of pale lunules from apex before termen, obscured below middle; fringe dark, with a rufous basal 
line; hindwing brownish grey, darker along termen, with a row of dark grey pale-edgecl terminal lumdes. 
Khasia Hills, Assam, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java, Bali, the Natuna Islands. 
E. duplicans Walk. (19 c). Closely resembles exoticae , but paler, more rufous, without the dark shad¬ 
ing; the markings somewhat less concise; the grey belt beyond outer line obscure and cloudy; the 
reniform stigma less oblique and with a distinct white hook from the lower end outwardly. Described 
originally from Moulmein, Burma; found also in Sikkim, Assam, and Bombay; in Hainan and Formosa and 
the Loo Choo Islands; also in China and .Japan. 
E. coelisigna Hmps. (19 b). Forewing redbrown on a greyish ochreous ground, slightly dusted with 
blackish; subbasal line blackish, slight; inner line blackish, curved and slightly waved, inwardly defined 
by grey; outer line reddish ochreous towards costa, then bent outwards and becoming indistinct, double, 
filled in with grey, incurved below vein 4; subterminal line yellowish white tinged with rufous, formed 
by oblique streaks above veins 7 and 6, angled outwards to termen at 4, then oblique to submedian fold 
and bent outwards to tornus; orbicular stigma small, ill-defined, ochreous white; reniform white with yellow¬ 
ish centre, defined on inner side by blackish, narrow and oblique; fringe redbrown with yellowish line 
at base; hindwing brown, greyer basewards. Recorded only from Ceylon. 
E. insularis Btlr. Forewing ochreous white suffused with pale olive brown; subbasal line 
black outwardly whitish; inner line slight, brown inwardly defined by white, with some blackish be¬ 
yond it at costa, angled outwards on subcostal vein, then oblique to vein 1 and bent inwards to inner 
margin; orbicular stigma whitish with black centre, oblique V-shaped; reniform triangular, white defined 
by black, a short black streak with white point on it. beyond lower angle of cell; outer line black defin¬ 
ed outwardly by whitish; subterminal line pale, hardly traceable, preceded by a black costal blotch, 
and with a small triangular spot below it. on termen at vein 4; a row of dark white-edged terminal
