E. conistrota Hmps. An lirdian species occurring also in Somali Land. Similar to chionophlebia. Fore¬ 
wing besides -with a radial stripe of black scales through the centre of the cell and in the submedian fold, black 
scales also at the margin. $ darker. 20—28 mm. Somali Land. 
E. bulla Swinh. This Indian species is to be described as a chionophlebia without light veins on the 
forewing. 1 ^ taken in North Nigeria. 
Regarding the position of the following species, their authors have not mentioned anything, they may 
therefore be appended here. 
E. bruiineosa B.-Bak. Body cinnamon-brown like the basal third of the forewing, bordered by a ver¬
