E. latistriga E. Prout. According to the original description just as the preceding species, this will he lalisiriga. 
a cyllaria or dubia form. Forewings in colouration and arrangement of markings corresponding in the single 
specimen to cyllaria. Markings consist in the commencement of an ante and postmedian line on the costa, the 
costal mark distally of the latter and a heavy black longitudinal streak below the cell from the base to the margin 
at vein 2. Outer and submarginal lines moderately distinct. Anal angle dusky. Hindwings darker, median 
band wider than in quadriplaga. One $. 50 mm. Gilolo. 
E. dipterygia Hmps. (52 d). Forewings dark brown, bluish white in centre of inner margin. The ante- dipterygia. 
median black line as hitherto. Also the indistinct reniform stigma, which as already mentioned under cyllaria , 
has a white dot above and below. A fine black annulus on submedian fold, also the shape of the postmedian 
line is not different from that of cyllaria. Only the almost absent white submarginal line on forewings and the 
fairly band-like white markings on hindwings could denote a difference from cyllaria , should these be constant. 
One <$. 44 mm. Andamans. 
E. styx B.-Bak. (52 d). From the apparently inexact original illustration, this varies rather more from styx. 
the cyllaria group. Forewings greyish red-brown with faint pale radial band through the cell to the margin. 
Antemedian line indicated by black dots and striations. Reniform stigma as hitherto, also the fine black oval 
spot on submedian fold, distally a short white streak on inner margin. The indistinct postmedian line about 
the same. Submarginal line whitish, brown inwardly, excurved to vein 4, then obliquely, somewhat excurved 
at vein 1. Distally a white spot below vein 4. Hindwings grey-brown with white discal spot. One $. 44 mm. 
New Guinea. 
E. umbrosa Btlr. (52 d) w r as already dealt with in Vol. III. p. 335 and illustrated on pi. 61 h, as it umbrosa. 
chiefly occurs in Japan and China. The form variegata mentioned on p. 335 corresponds to the type of strigi- 
pennis $ Mr ., in which the white spot at anal angle of forewings is very marked. Perhaps it would be better 
therefore to classify cyllaria-alikangensis here. 
The following 3 species, to judge by the hindwings, should also be classified in the cyllaria group. 
E. anvira Swh. (52 d). Forewings rose-brown with pale brown radial stripe below centre of wing to anvira. 
the margin. An antemedian and median line indicated at costa, postmedian as in cyllaria, all lines double. 
Apical spot is also present on costa. Reniform stigma on a small brown patch. Three white spots on the dark 
hindwing. 40—50 mm. Borneo. 
E. careona Swh. Forewings rose-blackish, rose-grey at base and more widely so at inner margin. Sub- careona. 
marginal line rose-grey and posteriorly similarly dusted. Hindwings black with white spots. 40—48 mm. Celebes. 
E. engatiica Swh. (52 d). Forewings rose-brown, dusted with brown especially in the region of the anal enganica. 
angle. A triangular black spot with white outline at base extending downwards to vein 1. A short white streak 
at disco-cellular, a white spot above and an oblique one outwards below. Above centre of inner margin, a black 
lunule with pale outer edge and another posteriorly, conjoined outwards with the inner margin by a black line. 
Costal spot large, black, intersected by the white submarginal line. Hindwings black with 3 white spots. 40 to 
48 mm. Sumatra. 
29. Genus: Aeliaea Him. 
The palpi as hitherto elongate and erect. Antennae of $ ciliate. Central and hind tibiae with spurs. 
Type: A. melicerta Hbn. that is distributed over the entire indo-australian territory. As against 60 african 
species, there are only a few in our regions. 
1. Central tibiae of <$ obese, containing a brush of hair. The first 
segment of central and hind tarsi with hairs. 
A. nubifera Mr. Forewings grey-brown, darker in marginal area. Antemedian line dark, undulate, nubifera. 
somewhat excurved, distally paler to the moderately curved median line that on inner side outlines the dark 
area. A curved postmedian line is indicated, widely excurved behind the cell, terminating at inner margin near 
the median line. Hindwings blackish with curved narrow white median band. 65 mm. Two from the An¬ 
damans. 
A. eusciasta Hmps. (52 e). Forewings dark fuscous and lilac-grey, somewhat more grey behind the post- eusciasta. 
median line at apex. Antemedian line undulate, however straighter than in nubifera. Disco-cellular nervure 
dark, with black dots at each angle. Median line double, indistinct, vertical, somewhat excurved behind the 
cell, somewhat incurved below. Postmedian line distinct, black, dentate, angulated outwards at vein 6, then 
slightly impressed inwards. Submarginal line indistinct, somewhat angulated outwards below costa, then with 
outer rusty brov/n edge above the anal angle. Hindwings dark brown with short blue-white median band, a 
large white mark at margin behind the cell, a smaller one both at apex and on submedian fold. 66 mm. We are 
illustrating a specimen from New Guinea although the species is described from Singapore.
