Exterior line very indistinctly undulate, near the median line as in anoxhoresis. Submarginal line white, 
straight, proceeding from the apex. Hindwing reddish yellow, traces of a light suhmarginal line at the anal 
angle. ^ 20 mm. East Africa. 
E. acarodes Stvinh. (12 h). Thorax white, abdomen brownish. Forewing whitish ochreous. The space acarodcs. 
from the median line to the submarginal line dark pink, extending at the apex and anal angle to the margin. 
Median line red-brown, very oblique, straight. Exterior line very fine, white, obliquely outwards at the costal 
margin, then very obliquely inwards. Submarginal line marked by black dots edged white inside from the 
costal margin to behind the cell, and by an oblique black streak with a dentate black spot before it in the 
submedian fold. Margin olive brown. The figure shows the submarginal line only as a white double spot in 
the submedian fold. Hindwing white, browner at the margin. 14—16 mm. Angola, South Africa. 
E. flavibasis Rmps. Body pale red-brown. Basal area of forewing yellow, somewhat reddish-yellow jiavibasis. 
at the costal and inner margins. Median line black, finely white inside, undulate, defining the basal area. 
Dark red behind it. An oblique whitish submarginal line, with fine black dots outside. Hindwing yellowish 
red-brown. $ 20 mm. East Africa. 
E. cochylioides Guen. (= rosita Guen., phoenissa Led.) (12 h). Body and forewing at the base pale cochyiioi- 
greyish ochreous. The red-brown median line is thick, faded, very oblique. Behind it as far as the submarginal 
line pale pinkish brown. Exterior line fine, extending at vein 6 almost to the submarginal line, bent almost 
semicircularly in the submedian fold. Submarginal line composed of a few black-white dots near the apex 
and 2 white spots in the brown area near the anal angle, distal margin narrowly olive brown, before it, from 
the apex, a narrow triangle coloured like the base of the wing. — calida Rhl. is without the pink dusting, calida.

E. lentirosea Hmps. (12 h). Body whitish ochreous, forewing yellowish white. Median line thickly lentirosea. 
olive brown, finely white outside, oblique, beginning from below the costal margin, behind it somewhat pink 
outside at the costal margin, with pink streaks below vein 7. Exterior line pink, white outside, strongly ex- 
curved as in cochylioides. Submarginal line white, edged red-brown inside, not extending to the inner margin, 
a red spot before it in the submedian fold. Hindwing yellowish white, somewhat browner at the margin, fringe 
white. 16 mm. Transvaal. 
E. glaucizona Hmps. (12 h). Thorax brownish ochreous, abdomen greyish brown. Forewing reddish glaudzona. 
brown in the basal area at the costal margin, greyish brown towards the inner margin. Interior line marked 
by a few' dark scales. Median line rectilinear, oblique, w'hite, broadly washed out red-browm inside. Exterior 
line yellow, red-brow^i outside, excurved below the costal margin, from veins 6—3 parallel to the distal margin, 
strongly incurved as far as the submedian fold. Before it at the costal margin a yellow spot as far as the median line, 
blackish below it, the rest grey, red-brown above it at the costal margin. Eindwing light brown. 18—20 mm. 
Cape Colony. 
E. postrosea n. sp. (12 h) is allied to roseana Moore from India. Thorax and basal area of forewdng po.sirosea. 
pale yellow. Median line olive brown, thick, straight, faded at the costal margin. The faded border of the 
pink median area extends from the apex, parallel to the median line. A dark brown spot at the anal angle, 
growing narrower in front, the rest of the margin coloured like the base. Fringe brownish. Abdomen and 
hindwdng pink. G 14—15 mm. East Africa, Madagascar. Type i:i the Berlin Museum. 
E. ochrobasis Hmps. (12 i). Body and base of forewing yellowish white. Median area blackish, marginal ochrobasls. 
area red-brown. Median line red-brown, extra-angular below the costal margin, then rectilinear, obliquely 
inwards. Cross-vein finely black. Exterior line parallel to The interior litre, lighter behind it. Submarginal line 
yellowish, faded red-brown before it. Hindwdng yellowish, browner at the margin. 15—18 mm. Cape Colony. 
E. thermobasis Hmps. (12 i). Body pale yellowish. Forewing ochreous at the base, more reddish distally thermoba- 
as far as the fine black median line which is somewhat oblique, edged white outside. Grey behind it as far 
as the exterior line which is notched behind the cell, strongly incurved in the submedian fold, edged white 
outside. Submarginal line white, ending at vein 1 at the exterior line, brownish ochreous before it, grey behind 
it, a black sjjot at the apex. Hindwing white, slightly brownish at the margin. 10—12 mm. Aden. 
E. rivula Moore (= pusilla Btlr.) (12 i). Body and base of forewing whitish ochreous. Median band rivuia. 
olive brown, oblique, the white marginal line somewhat undulate. Two black dots at the cross-vein. Exterior 
line brownish ochreous, white outside, very S-shaped. A light brown spot in darker surroundings is behind 
it in the submedian fold. An oblique brown shadow from the apex, light before it at the costal margin, bordered 
outside by a light line. Hindwing greyish-white, brow'ner at the margin. The median and marginal areas may 
also be redder, or more brownish ochreous from behind the middle, except at the costal margin, or finally the 
whole forewdng jnay be suffrxsed with brownish ochreous. 16—20 mm. South and East Africa, as far as 
Australia. 
E. exigua Wkr. (= nuga Snell., parvula Mr.). Judging from the figure of nuga, it differs from rivula cxigua. 
in a somewhat steeper median line. The spot at the anal angle is light in brown surroundings. Sometimes 
the basal and postmedian areas are much darker except at the costal margin. 14—20 mm. West, South and 
East Africa, distributed as far as Tonkin.
