EUBLEMMA. By M. Gaede. 
■perkco. E. perkco Rothsch. Very similar to a small arcuinna Hbn. from the palaearctic region. Body pale 
greyish hrown. Forewing lighter and darker smoky brown in the basal half. Distal half whitish grey, clouded 
browmish-grey. Hindwing blackish, lighter at the base and margin, with a white median line, cj 11 mm. North 
Nigeria. —• Eu. parva Hhn. (Vol. Ill, ]>. 263, ])1. 51 d) and griseola Ersch. (Vol. HI, ]). 269, pi. 51 m) were like¬ 
wise fonnd in tlie same district. 
chloro- E. chlorochroa Hmps. Thorax olive brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing pale olive green. 
chrod. ^ stripe below the costal margin, not reaching the base and apex, whitish ochreous, with a branch towards 
the anal angle at the base of vein 2. A whitish interior and median line hardly discernible. A fine black dot 
in the cell. Exterior line of black dots, hardly recognizable. 8iibmarginal dots black, a diffuse white spot above 
the anal angle. Hindwing of ^ white, of $ dark brown. 26—30 mm. East Africa. 
giracca oHvacca Wkr. (= nebulifera Wkr., admota Fldr.) (12 e). Thorax olive green, abdomen brownish 
ochreous green. Forewing brownish white. The basal area with an olive green spot as far as the median vein 
and beyond the middle of the inner margin, narrowing down oiitwards at some distance below vein 2 as far 
as near the anal angle. A similar s])ot at the distal margin, bordered from the apex obliquely inwards as far 
as vein 5, then protruding in a lobe almost to the base of vein 2 and to the margin at vein 1. Costal margin 
also more or less olive green. Black dots of an exterior and a submarginal line are often present. 4 or 5 light 
lines al)ove the inner margin, often continned in the dark costal-marginal area. Hindwing of rj white, of $ 
dark. 20—^25 mm. Througliout West, South and East Africa, besides in India. 
reduda. E. reducta Btl. (12 e). Body and forewing lighter or darker brown or reddish brown. A light dentate 
interior line may be present, as well as an exterior dark one from the costal margin obliquely outw'ards as 
far as behind the cell. A black Inna at the cross-vein, from which a dark green band proceeds, at first bent 
downwards, then to the apex. In its bow, behind the cell, a rusty red spot. 2 or 3 black submarginal dots below 
the apex. Hindwing of ^ white, of $ dark. 15—18 mm. East Africa. 
E. bipartita Hmps. (12 e). Body yellowish white. Forewing white at the base, dark red-brown in the 
middle, dark Iduish-grey at the margin. A few black dots near the base. The median line, the border of the 
white area obliquely outwards to the lower cell-angle, forming a dent there, then vertical to the inner margin. 
1 or 2 black s])ots in the dark area in front. Exterior line only distinct at the costal margin, black inside, white 
inside, forming a large bow as far as the sid)median fold. Submarginal line dentate, white, forming 2 bows 
tlie apices of which touch the exterior line, with black dots near the apex. White dots at the margin. Hind¬ 
wing white with 2 brownish lines, the margin brownish. 18 mm. Transvaal. 
lenmnela- E. leucomelaiia Hmps. (12 f). Body creamy white like the base of the forewing, the rest reddish brown, 
almost black. A few black dots in the basal area. The dark median line is excurved in the middle with a 
small point at the median vein. A black streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line obliquely outwards at the costal 
margin, with a white streak outside, bent oiitwards in the centre of the wing, inwards in the submedian fold. 
Submarginal line indistinct, with brow'ii spots inside and black dots outside, with an inward point behind the 
cell and in the submedian fold. Fringe reddish yellow. Hindwing creamy white, marginal area brownish, fringe 
lighter. 16—18 mm. Cape Colony. 
grlseofim- E. griscoHmbriata n. sp. (12 f) resembles leticomelana. The partition line between the basal and distal 
briaia. areas on the forewing is more rectilinear, somewhat obliquely outwards, so that the white basal part at the 
inner margin is longer than the dark distal part. The white spot at the costal margin is larger and a little more 
basad. Exterior line as well as the area as far as the median line red-brown, parallel to the median line, darker 
red-brown spots in this area. Violettish-browm behind it as far as the margin. Submarginal line irregularly 
dentate from near the apex, bent inwards in the submedian fold, with a darker brown shadow' inside. .Mar¬ 
ginal line wdiite, fringe grey, cut by white. Hindwdng as in leucomelcma. q 17 mm. Transvaal. Type in the 
Berlin Museum. 
staudingeri. E. staudingeti Wallgrn. (= pretoriae Dist.) (12 f). Body and forew'ing reddish ochreous browm. A fine 
black streak in the submedian fold. A similar one in the cell extends to the black discal spot in the faded 
median band Avhich is extra-angular at the low^er cell-angle. A black spot close behind it at the costal margin. 
Submarginal line white, with an imvard point behind the cell, on both sides Avith an adjoining bow, black in- 
w^ard sagittal lines before it. A red spot at the apex. Hindwing brow'nish, traces of a dark median line. 
body and wings darker broAvn. 20—-24 mm. Niger, Mashona Land, South Africa. 
E. nigrivitta Hmps. (12 f). Body and forewing pale reddish ochreoiis broAvn. Interior line black, den¬ 
tate. obliquely imvards. A black dot in the middle of the cell, a streak at the cross-A'ein. Median line black, 
l)ent oiatwards as far as behind the loAver cell-angle, slightly concave in the middle of the cross-vein, an iiiAvard 
boAv in the si;bmedian fold. From it to the interior line, the ground-colour is someAvhat darker. Exterior line 
parallel to the median line, dentate, Avith Avhite dots at the veins, a grey^ shadoAV behind it. Submarginal line
