darker brown lines from the centre of the wing to the inner margin. Sometimes the basal area of the forewing 
is dark brown: hasifusca Strcl. 22—24 mm. Cape Colony. 
E. albicosta Hnips. (12 f). Body reddish yellow. Forewing yellow and fiery red, costal margin white, alhkosia.

and in the snbmedian fold; slightly concave in the centre of the cell. A submarginal row of black dots and 
a red marginal line. Hindwing coloured like forewing, with traces of a red median and exterior line, as well 
as a row of black dots behind them. 16 mm. West Africa.

at the costal margin, marginal area fiery red, except at the costal margin. Interior line fiery red, indistinct, 
excurved in the submedian fold; median line the same, excnrved behind the cell; exterior line exciu’ved as far 
as vein 4, edged white outside. Hindwing pinkish violet, lighter at the base, marginal area fiery red, costal 
margin white like the inner margin. Two red lines from the centre of the wing to the inner margin, black dots 
behind them. Both wings with a white marginal line. The wings of the $ are more intensely fiery red, only 
the base of the forewing and the costal margin in both \vings remaining white. The ground-colour may also 
differ and be red-brown, only the costal-margin of the forewing remaining white. 20—22 mm. West and Cen¬

distal margins of forewing brownish ochreoixs. The interior line is represented by a dark dot at the costal 
margin and by a faded curved red line below the cell. A white oblique streak at the cross-vein. Median line, 
similar to the interior line, excurved behind the cell. Exterior line faded, red, excurved as far as vein 4, ending 
at the anal angle. Marginal line brown, fringe with dark dots. Hindwing with 2 faded red lines. $ 12 mm.

E. flavicosta Hmps. (12 f). Body and wings chocolate-brown. Eorewing yellow at the costal margin, jlavicosta.

line excurved at vein 7 and in the middle. Hindwing with 2 or 3 indistinct transverse lines. Fringe with a 
white line at the base in both wings. ^ 23 mm. Transvaal. 
E. atrifusa Hmps. (12 g). Thorax orange, abdomen dark brown. Eorewing yellow, somewhat reddish atrifusa. 
outside at the costal margin, vdth black lines. Interior line interrupted below the costal margin, then notched, 
vertical. Median line with a wide oblique convexity around the black discal dot. Exterior line just as oblique 
at the costal margin, with an inward point behind the cell, then undulate, parallel to the margin. Submarginal 
line in front composed of spots, from the middle as a dentate line. Hindwing yellow, dusted blackish except 
at the margin, with 3 faded undulate dark transverse lines and submarginal spots. $ 20 mm. Gold Coast. 
E. ochrochroa Hmps. (12 g). Body and forewing brownish ochreous, somewhat reddish, especially at ochrochroa. 
the apex. Interior and median lines dark, obliquely inwards, parallel to the distal margin. A black streak at 
the cross-vein and a blackish brown diffuse spot behind it. Exterior line fine, somewhat more curved. A sub¬ 
marginal row of black dots. Hindwing ochreous. Traces of an exterior and a submarginal line. 16 mm.

Interior line dark, obliquely inwards below the cell. A faded black spot at the cross-vein. Median line extending 
behind this spot. Exterior line very obliquely excurved as far as vein 4, nearing the median line at the inner 
margin. Marginal line black. Hindwing yellowish white. 10 mm. East Africa. 
E. apicata Dist. (= acrochiona Mob.) (12 g). Body and wings pale ochreous, the marking blackish apicata. 
brown, traces of a curved interior line. Behind it 1 spot each in the cell and at the cross-vein. Traces of a 
median line behind the cell. Exterior line oblique as far as vein 6, then undulately inwards. Submarginal line 
composed of white dots, black spots before it below veins 7, 6 and 2. Hindwing dark in the distal half. 
thorax and forewing from reddish brown to blackish brown. Hardly any marking. A large white spot at the 
apex, a small one above the anal angle, few white dots between them. Hindwing scarcely lighter at the base,
