inner line faint, obliquely waved, starting from a black costal dot; outer line also indistinct, bent outwards 
below costa, then denticulate, the teeth produced to blackish points on the veins, incurved in submedian inter¬ 
space, where there is a black point before it; a conical chocolate brown patch on middle of costa, its 
apex nearly reaching median vein, somewhat dilated on outer side; a truncate conical chocolate brown 
patch on costa before subterminal line which is minutely waved but faint; a row of small blackish dots 
just before termen; fringe brown with pale lines at base and middle; hindwing brownish ochreous, the fringe 
paler. Described from a single from Siam. 
E. costiplaga Beth.-Baker (20f). Forewing redbrown mixed with purplish grey; a small black subbasal costiplaga. 
spot on costa; inner line obliquely waved from a black costal spot; outer line indistinct, whitish from costa 
to vein 4, then dark; bent outwards below costa, oblique to vein 6, on which it is outwardly dentate, 
on vein 5 dentate inwards, again outwards on vein 4, then strongly incurved but outbent to inner margin, 
preceded on submedian fold by a black dot; a conical chocolate brown patch from middle of costa to 
lower angle of cell, defined externally by a sinuous black and white line on discocellular; a truncate conical 
chocolate brown patch on costa before the faint whitish subterminal line; a row of small black dots just before 
termen; fringe grey brown, with ochreous line at base; hindwing coppery fuscous; fringe brown with a pale 
line from apex to vein 2. Described from a single $ from Ekeikei, British New Guinea, its actual position 
therefore remaining doubtful.

waved, and outwardly dentate on vein 1; outer line brown, excurved and minutely waved to vein 2, angled 
inwards along submedian fold nearly to touch inner line and again outwards on vein 1; subterminal line 
brown, diffuse, oblique from costa, incurved on both folds; a row of small black dots before termen; fringe och¬ 
reous with a series of fuscous points; a round black spot on discocellular; hindwing whitish washed with och¬ 
reous yellow, more strongly along termen. Ceylon. 
E. ochracea Hmps. (20 f). Forewing ochreous yellow with a few scattered black scales; the terminal ochraceci. 
area suffused with red brown; lines brown starting from black costal spots; inner line oblique from costa, 
then waved; outer line minutely waved, excurved from costa to vein 4, then incurved; subterminal line 
brown, minutely waved, indented on the folds; a row of fine blackish striae before termen; fringe dark brown 
with fine yellow lines at base and middle; hindwing pale yellow, the terminal area slightly rufous. E. Pegu, 
Burma. 
E. inconspicua Beth.-Baker (20 f). Forewing rufous ochreous with sparse black irroration; the costal inconspicua. 
area white to beyond middle; inner line fuscous, diffuse, bent inwards to costa; outer line also diffuse, 
oblique from costa to vein 6 just beyond cell, then oblique inwards; subterminal line brown, dentate, obscure; 
a row of black dots just before termen; fringe with reddish ochreous line at base; reniform stigma a small 
brown spot; hindwing ochreous yellow, the termen somewhat rufous; fringe fuscous, yellow at base, and white 
at tips. Described from a single $ from Ekeikei, British New Guinea. 
E. transversa Walk. Forewing rufous ochreous irrorated with fuscous; subbasal line slight, dark, transversa. 
oblique, from costa to submedian fold; inner line dark brown, strongly marked, oblique, and straight; 
outer line dark brown, curved below costa, then straight, oblique inwards, parallel to termen; subterminal 
line brown, equally concise, curved below costa, running to just before tornus; a fine brown terminal line; 
a dark line on discocellular; hindwing rufous ochreous, the costal half fuscous; fringe black brown from apex 
to vein 2; the $ has the hindwing wholly ochreous. Occurs in Bombay, Ceylon, and Burma, whence the type. 
E. insignifica Beth.-Baker (20 f). Forewing dull fuscous throughout, or with blackish fuscous speckling insignifica.

defined; fringe fuscous; hindwing dull whitish, the costa, termen, and fringe fuscous grey; cellspot round and
