E. heterogramma Mah. (13 a). Thorax white, abdomen somewhat brownish. Forewing silvery white 
Avith a black spot at the apex. A fine red-brown line from near the apex to the inner margin near the base,

E. ragusana Err. occiirring in Europe, Africa and Australia has been dealt with already in Vol. Ill,

abdomen dark brown. Forewing light olive brown at the base as far as a little behind the interior line which 
is dark, double, vertical, somewhat inwards in the cell and at vein 1. A blackish double streak is marked at 
the cross-vein, obliquely inwards towards the costal margin. Exterior line fine, white, also sejnicircularly forked 
at the costal margin around a dark spot, but here the interior branch is more faded, darker, then indistinctly 
continued to vein 4 outw'ards and vertically to the anal angle. Rusty yellow behind it at the apex with a few 
black dots. Hindwing brownish, lighter at the base. 20 mm. Cameroons. Type in the Berlin Museum.

E. plumbosa Hmps. (13 a). Thorax and forewing lead-coloured grey, the last third of the costal margin 
orange. Only one obliqxie orange exterior line, edged white outside, extending to vein 7, w'here it is bent roAind 
in a single specimen before nie and parallel to the margin rectilinear to the inner margin. Fringe orange. Hind- 
AA'ing pale yellowish, darker beloAV at the costal margin. 18—20 mm. South and East Africa. 
E. monotona Le Cerf. Similar to plumbosa, but larger, more uniformly coloured. ForeAA'ing light grey, 
AA'ith a very fine yellow line at the costal margin, fringe greyish yellow'. HindAving someAvhat lighter than
