Hinchving almost -white, with traces of a red-brown exterior line, a marginal row of black dots. The $ is more 
intensely red-brown. 18—22 mm. Somali Land. 
E. nyctichroa Hmps. (12 g). Body and wings blackish-brown. Forewing with very indistinct double 
interior and exterior lines, a blackish median shadow. Snbmarginal line just as indistinct. Both wings "tthth 
a fine white marginal line. $ 18 mm. Abyssinia, East Africa. 
E. cameotincta Hmps. Thorax whitish, wings and abdomen pinkish brown. Eore-ttdng wdth traces of 
a punctiform black interior line, extra-angidar below the costal margin, then inwards. A faded black discal 
spot and a smaller one before it. Median line very oblicpiely outwards as far as behind the upper cell-angle, 
obliquely inwards below vein 4. Exterior line of black dots, just as strongly excurved. Black submarginal and 
marginal dots. Hindwing somewhat lighter at tlie costal margin. Traces of an exterior and a submarginal 
row of dots. 18—20 nun. Sierra Leone. 
E. apicipuncta Saalm. (12g). Thorax yellowish greyish white, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing 
reddish grey. Median band olive grey, a few black dots before it. Besides 2 black dots in the cell and 2 at the 
cross-vein. Exterior band also olive grey, excurved behind the cell, a blackish spot at the apex. Hindwing 
brownish white, marginal area reddish grey. 11—14 mm. Madagascar, Sierra Leone. 
E. albivena Hmps. (12 g). Thorax and forewing greyish-brown, the veins white, marking blackish- 
brown. Interior line bent inwards in the cell, outwards at vein 1. A small spot in the cell, a luna at the cross¬ 
vein, both finely edged white. Media'ii line excurved as far as vein 4, vertical from vein 2. Exterior line ex¬ 
curved as far as vein 6, then parallel to the distal margin, slightly concave at vein 2. Submarginal line fine 
white, somewhat undidate. Hindwing yellowish, browner at the margin, traces of an exterior line. $ with 
much darker hindwings. — The lines on the foreving may also be thick and black and the marginal area blacldsh 
^ nigrilinea Bird. 28—32 mm. Uganda, South Africa. — paUescens Le Cerf differs in its light greyish-yellow 
ground-colour and less distinct marking, especially at the margin. East Africa. — titanica Hmps. differs in 
the absence of the cellular spot of the forewing. The exterior line extends somewhat more steeply to the inner 
margin than in albivena. Our figure shows a rnedium shape of this line. 
E. seminivea Hmps. (12 h). Body and basal half of forewing purely white. Marginal half hemochrome. 
A few black dots at the costal margin at the base. The white area is bordered by a fine vertical black line 
wlrich is finely extra-angular in the centre of the cell aird in the snbrnedian fold. A white spot at the costal 
margin near the apex. Traces of a white submarginal line. Hindwing white, brownish at the margin. 14 rnm. 
East Africa, also in India. 
E. hemichiona Hmps. resembles seminivea. Body and base of wing the same, the dots at the costal 
margin black and red-brown. Median line black, also with 2 slight angles. Behind it a dark broAvn band with 
a fiery red spot at the costal and inner margins, bdrdered outside by an undulate black line with a white spot 
behind it at the costal margii-i and red-brown spots behind the cell-angles. Submarginal line white, bordered 
with violettish brown inside, undulate, a black spot behind it below the costal margin, and black dots above 
the inner margin. Distal margin violettish-grey with red-brown dots. Hindwing white, brownish at the margin 
except at the anal angle. Fringe white in both wings. 20 mm. Central Africa. 
E. anachorcsis Wllgrn. (= accedens Fid., divisa Mr., leonata Btl.) (12 h). Body and base of forewing 
yellow. Marginal area violettish-red, faded red-brown before the submarginal line, somewhat pink in the base 
of the cell, fine black dots above it at the costal margin. The yellow basal area bordered by a somewhat ob¬ 
lique black and white line. Exterior line brown, excurved towards vein 7, incurved in the discal and submedian 
folds, outwards between them. The space before it more or less pink. Sub.marginal line white, very near to 
the margin, somewhat pink behind it. Hindwing ochreous, brownish at the margin. 12—14 mm. Throughout 
Africa to India and Australia. 
E. dichroma Rbl. is sojnewhat like anachoresis Wllgrn. from India and West Africa. Antennae of ^ 
shortly ciliated. Body yellowish grey. Forewing yellowish-brown as far as two thirds of its length. Marginal 
band chestnut brown, sharply oblicpiely cut off inside. The ground-colour before it is strigiformly purer yellow. 
Hindwing brownish grey, somewhat lighter at the base, c? H—13 mm. Sokotra. 
E. sperans Fid. (12 h) resembles a large anachoresis. Body brownish ochreous, the base of the foreAcing 
the same, the border-line black, straight, someAA'hat imvards. Behind it yelloAA' as far as the median line, corres¬ 
ponding to anacJwresis. Exterior line niore distinct, s\dnnarginal line not different. HindAcing reddish broAA'ii. 
— In natalensis Strd. the AAings are more intensely reddish brown. One specimen from the Cape Colony, AA'hich 
Ave figure, is AA'ithout the dark base of the forewing. 16 mm. Cape Colony, Natal. 
E. perobliqua Hmps. (12 h). Body and base of foreAving reddish yelloAV, the median area dark violettish- 
brown, lighter behind the sidAinarginal line. Median line red-brown inside, black outside, very oblique, straight.
