E. rufopunctata B.-Bak. (40 e). Forewings pale yellow, costa red to centre. An oval brown spot with rufopunc- 
white central dot on disco-cellular. Hindwings transparent white, narrowly yellowish at margin. In i the spot 
on disco-cellular is absent. 26 mm. New Guinea. 
E. uniplaga B.-Bak. Differs from rufopunctata 9 (40 e) by the size and the colour of hindwings. Fore- unipUnja. 
wings also pale yellow, costa brown at base. The brown spot on disco-cellular is “I” shaped, expanding at top 
and bottom, delicately red inwardly. Hindwings yellowish white, transparent. In the $ the spot on disco- 
cellular is absent. 30 mm. New Guinea. 
E. mjobergi E. Prout. The species forms a transition to the next group. Central tibiae of densely hairy, mjobergi. 
but palpi normal. Forewings pale yellowish green, outer margin somewhat darker, the inner third somewhat 
yellowish at costa. The inner line vertical, finely dark green, anteriorly with reddish brown scales. The central 
and outer lines are also finely dark green, the former undulate, the latter extending somewhat outwards to 
vein 5, then vertically. Hindwings white, transparent, narrowly green at margin, especially anteriorly. 26 mm. 
One $ from Borneo.

E. citrina Saalm. (40 e). We have already dealt with this species in Vol. XV, p. 191, pi. 18 d. It was cUrina. 
described from Madagascar and is widely distributed in Africa. Its main characteristic is the widely excurved 
outer line behind the cell. It is also found in Tonkin. 
E. luteolaria Hmps. (40 e). Forewings brilliant yellow. The inner line fine, dark, excurved below costa luteolaria. 
and at inner margin, incurved in cell and above nervure 1. The outer line similar and indistinct, extending 
outwards to nervure 4, then curving inwards. An undulate submarginal line is indicated. Hindwings transparent 
white, slightly yellowish at margin. — aurantiaca Strd. has orange-yellow forewings, the transverse lines with auraniiaca. 
brown dots. — In carnea Strd. marginal area is rose, except at apex. — 20—25 mm. India, Ceylon, Tonkin, camea. 
Queensland, New Caledonia. 
E. flavida Fldr. ( = uninotata Wkr., annulifera Wkr.) (40 e). Forewings orange-yellow, greenish at ftavida. 
margin. An oblique undulate inner line generally undiscernible, only indicated by brown dots in and below the 
cell. Posteriorly somewhat green above nervure 1. A small brown dot at disco-cellular. The greenish outer 
line excurved behind the cell, then obliquely inwards. Hindwings white, somew hat transparent. sulphuraria sulphuraria. 
Mr. is almost unicoloured. Transverse lines still less distinct, the spot at disco-cellular is absent. — 20—24 mm. 
India, Ceylon, Sunda Islands, Amboina. 
The following species are more or less green: 
E. huegeli Roghf. (40 f). A very striking species. Forewings white with a green band from base to margin, imegeli. 
where its upper edge is fairly distinct, whilst the lower edge is diffuse. The parallel inner, outer and submarginal 
lines are indistinct, green, excurved at costa, then obliquely inwards. Fringes between nervines 7—2 are also 
green. Hindwings brownish white, transparent. — In rubicundialba Strd. the ground colour of forewings is pale rubicundi- 
brownish. — In huegeliana Strd. the radial band is brown, ground colour also somewhat brownish, so that the f alba - 
form appears more unicoloured. — 18—22 mm. Australia to the Marquesas Islands. 
E. fabia Stoll. (= vitella Fldr., speiplena Wkr., partita Wkr.) (40 f). Very similar to the preceding species, labia. 
Ground colour is not pure white, but faintly reddish. The transverse lines of huegeli are absent here. Hindwings 
are whiter. — In speiplena Wkr. forewings are not reddish, but presumably white, the green radial band is dif- speiplena. 
fuse and expands over the entire outer margin. 20—24 mm. India, Ceylon, Burma, Tonkin, Java, Fiji Islands. 
— The larvae, like in the subsequent species, live in the bolls of the Cotton plant. 
E. insulana Bsd. (Vol. 3, pi. 53 i) is distributed over southern Europe, Africa and Asia. It is dealt with insidana. 
in all its forms fully in Vol. Ill, p. 296. 
E. brevipennis Warr. Probably similar to insidana. Forewings yellow-green, hindwings white, greenish brevipennis. 
on margin below apex. Wings wide, short, forewings boldly protruding at base. The entire body green. One 
(J from Batjan. 
E. parallela Luc. ( = chlorodes Meyr.) (40 f). Forewings yellowish white at costa, otherwise somewhat pamUela. 
dusted with green, especially at outer margin. Markings consist of diffuse straight parallel green central, outer 
and submarginal lines. Hindwings transparently white, brownish at margin, more widely so than hitherto. 
20—24 mm. Australia. 
E. subviridis Luc. (= limonia Meyr.) (40 f). Forewings bluish green, darker towards outer margin, subviridis. 
Central line dark, somewhat obliquely inwards, the outer line parallel to margin, somewhat excurved in centre, 
both edged somewhat whitish outwardly. Hindwings ochreous white, bluish green at costa. 26 mm. Australia. 
E. latimargo Hmps. (40 f). Similar to the following species. Forewings dark green, costal edge pale latimargo. 
rose. A small brown spot at disco-cellular. Widely brown at margin with somewhat undulate inner edge. Hind¬ 
wings brownish white. 18 mm. A few specimens have been captured on the Christmas Islands.
