The other 4 species are not compared to any other species. Nothing is mentioned about the antennae 
and other jiroperties, which are extremely varied in the Indian species. 
E. oenictopis B.-Bak. Thorax and forewing dark brown. Ring-macula and reniform macula dark 
grey. Exterior line of black dots and grey scales. Margin with fine white dots. Hindwing dingy white. 30 mm. 
Angola. 
E. glaucopis B.-Bak. Body and forewing dingy brown, with pale greyish-brown lines. Interior line 
undulate, indistinct, exterior line strongly extra-angular behind the cell, then very obliquely inwards. Sub¬ 
marginal line indistinct, faded. Ring-macula and reniform macula indicated by dark spots. Hindwing dingy 
wdiite. J “6 mm. East Africa. 
E. percnopis B.-Bak. Body gieyish-brown. Forewing didl brown. The two lines dark, irregular, especially 
the exterior line strongly notched below the costal margin, a dark vertical median band before it. Submarginal 
line distinct, wdth 2 strong bow's. Marginal dots fine light. Hindwing dark grey. ^ 25 mm. Angola. 
E. scotopis B.-Bak. Body and forewiiig cinnamon brown. The dark interior line fine, double, dark, 
filled with pale brown, thrice angled. Exterior line very convex below the costal margin, notched, edged light 
brow-n oiitside. Submarginal line indistinct, faded. Hindwing whitish, browmish at the margin. 32 mm. 
East Africa. 
66. Genus: Prolyniiiia Hmi^s. 
Proboscis and palpi as in Elydna. Prothorax and metathorax with a tuft, abdomen wdth tufts oir the 
2 first segments. Antennae of (J serrate and tuftedly ciliated, the shaft thicker at the base. Neuration normal. 
Type; viola Hmps. 
P. viola Hpvps. Body greyish-browm. Eorewing violettish-brown and grey, greyer at the base. Near 
the base a violettish-brown spot wdth a grey line outside. Interior line grey, strongly extra-angidar below the 
costal margin, then obliquely inw-ards. Reniform macula 8-shaped, edged wdth white. Exterior line fine grey, 
beginning behind the cell as a streak outw'ards; before the sidjinarginal line at the costal margin a dark violet 
spot, square, edged wdiite, obliquely defined inside; the grey submarginal line strongly incurved below vein 6, 
ending at the interior angle. Hindwing greyish-brown. mm. Gold C'oast. 
P. atrifera Hmps. Body and forewing greyish-browm. Interior line as in viola, another line before it 
as far as the submedian fold. Reniform macula ellijitical, edged wdth grey, a blackish-browm lunar spot before 
it beginning from the costal margin. A grey line from the lower cell-angle to the inner margin and a faded 
blackish-brown band to the submarginal line. The latter line and the spot at the costal margin as in viola. 
Hindwing dark browm. Q 32 mm. Niger District. 
P. triangularis 5p. (10 c). Body reddish-brown. Forewing violettish-brown. Interior line indistinct, 
vertical, the base before it greyer. Reniform macida narrow, edged white, wdth a black spot below outside. 
A triangular chocolate browur spot before it, distinct on both sides, somewdiat undiilately defined, extending 
almost to the inner margin. The dark apical spot almost semichcular, edged white. The light exterior line 
proceeds fronr it inw'ards, bent inwards below’ the cell, then slightly outw ards to the inner margin. Black dots 
before the margin, wdth white scales inside. Marginal line light. $ wdthout the violet reflection. Hindwdng 
dark brown. 24 mm. Gamerooirs. 
67. Genus; Aiiclroljmiiia Hirips. 
Proboscis and palpi as in Elydna. Tufts as in Prolymnia, but abdomen only wdth 1 tuft. Airtennae 
of (J plaiir. Eorewing of ]>roduced at tire apex. Neuration normal. Type; emarginala Hmps. from India. 
1. Eorewing of d' w’ith a very irruch produced apex. The veins somewdiat distorted thereliy. 
A. torsivena Hmps. (10 c). Browm and violettish-grey. Interior line browm, rectangularly angled in 
the cell, vertical to the inner margin. Median line brown, obliquely outw’ards from the costal margin, paler 
brow’n outside, extending to a black spot at the lowmr cell-angle. Reniform macula very large, finely edged 
dark; two undulate lines below it to the inner margin. A dark brow’ii sjiot at the apex, the faded submarginal 
line proceeds from this spot. Hindwdng violettish-grey. The ^ show’s the space betw’een the median line and 
the reniform macida dark browm. 28—30 mm. West and South Africa. 
2. Eorewing of with a very little produced apex. Distal margin feebly angled at vein 4. 
A. clavata Hmps. (lOd) is similarly coloured as torsivena. Also the ^ forewing before the reniform 
macula with a triangmlar chocolate brown spot with a black dot at the lower end. The spot edged white o\it- 
side, the marginal line continuous to the inner margin, a bent dark line before it. Reniform macula large, 
])arted by a dark line. Apical spot larger, with a spur below outw’ards. Hindw'ing broAvn. 22—24 mm. East
