manta. E. manta Sivinli. (19 d). Forewing purplish red irrorated with dark brown; a black spot at base; 
inner line black, angled shortly outwards below costa, then excurved and inbent to inner margin, 
preceded by an oblique black striga from submedian fold to vein 1, with a short black streak below it; orbicu¬ 
lar stigma wanting; reniform an oblique black striga on upper end of discocellular and two white points at 
lower angle of cell; median shade bent in middle, then sinuous; outer line double, dentate, bent at 
vein _4; subterminal white and dentate from costa to vein 6, then obscure, waved, with dark streaks 
beyond it in the interspaces, ending in slight terminal lunules; fringe with white striae at base; hindwing 
purplish redbrown, whitish in basal area. Perak only. 
niveigutta. E. niveigutta Walk. (19e). Forewing yellow brown, almost wholly obscured by coarse dark brown 
scaling; costa with 4 oblique white blotches, indicating origin of the lines, one near base, one before and 
one beyond the middle, the fourth at apex; the lines brown, wavy, indistinct; the inner vertical mark¬ 
ed by a white spot on veins and ending on inner margin in a white blotch; the outer outcurved round 
cell and marked in its oblique lower course by white spots on veins, increasing in size downwards, end¬ 
ing in a small white blotch on inner margin; in middle of cell an oblong white blotch with a round¬ 
ish yellow spot at each end; below it, touching vein 1, a similar but more rounded white blotch; the 
brown median shade touches the outer edge of these two blotches; submarginal line dark, indistinctly 
lunulate dentate, indented on both folds, followed by the white apical blotch and by a yellowish mar¬ 
ginal spot between veins 4 and 5, the teeth marked by white dashes; marginal line brown, interrupted 
by white spots which intersect the olive brown fringe; hindwing brownish fuscous, the costal area whitish 
to beyond middle. Sarawak, Borneo. 
dilorocroa. E. cfllorocroa Hmps. (19e). Forewing pale olive buff in median, pale olive green in the basal 
and terminal areas; the inner line angled outwards on median vein, marked by white spots on veins 
and preceded by a broad band of black scaling; a white spot at base of submedian fold; subbasal line 
white, marked by a white spot on costa and another on median vein; outer line outcurved round cell, 
then oblique inwards marked by white vein dots and followed by a broad band of black scaling, con¬ 
taining two rows of wedge shaped spots, from vein 8 to vein 1; both inner and outer lines start from 
oblique white costal streaks; subterminal line indistinct; starting from a white spot just before apex, 
then sinuous, pale green; terminal line blackish, interrupted by white dots at vein ends; fringe olive green, 
with a middle dark line; in the cell an oval white spot represents the orbicular stigma, and two small 
white spots the reniform; above vein 1 another long oval white blotch, touching the two lines at either 
end; hindwing blackish fuscous, with the costal area pale; the fringe pale grey. Sumatra; Gunong Ijau 
and Padang Rengas in the Malay Peninsula. 
albistella. E. albistella spec. nov. (19 e). Forewing greyish brown with a faint reddish tinge, suffused with 
dark fuscous in basal area before inner line, in cell and before outer line above middle, and along 
termen; inner line pale, with a slight outward angle on subcostal vein, then almost semicircularly out- 
curved to inner margin; stigmata brown with pale outlines, the orbicular oblique, oval or rounded, the 
reniform hourglass-shaped, with a conspicuous white dot at the lower outer end; outer line dentate lunu¬ 
late, sharply bent outwards along subcostal, vertically outcurved to middle, then incurved; subterminal 
pale, lunulate dentate, followed by a small pale patch between veins 4 and 5; a row of largish black 
terminal spots tipped with pale; hindwing fuscous, darker in the underside whitish; the costal and 
apical areas of both wings coarsely dusted with dark brown; outer lines and cellspot dark brown; $ 
34 mm; $ 30 mm in expanse. The examples were taken in January and October 1899, at Milne 
Bay, British New Guinea, by A. 8. Meek. The antennae of the' are simply ciliated, the termen 
of forewing hardly angulated at middle.

below; palpi upturned, the second segment broad and rounded in front, hollowed out behind, the third 
short; antennae of $ thick, pubescent; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests; tibiae 
smooth; forewing elongate, costa and inner margin both slightly convex; apex blunt; termen smoothly 
rounded; veins 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked; no areole. Type P. dilectissima Walk. 
ilectissima. P. dilectissima Walk. (= limacodina Fldr.) (19 e). Fore wing deep dull red; a large sulphur yel¬ 
low spot at base of costa; a median band of 5 spots; that on costa largest and oblique, a small one in 
cell, and a larger one at lower angle, a flattened one in submedian interval and a rounded one on 
inner margin; three smaller spots on costa beyond, and one on each side of the fascia on inner margin; 
a large spot at apex and anal angle and 3 others at ends of veins 2, 3, 4; all these terminal spots
