on botli sides. Hindwing greyish brown with a white submarginal line near the anal angle. (J 24 mm. Sierra 
Leone. 
Eu. menalcas Holl. (1(5 d). Body and forewing yellowish brown. Black streaks at the costal margin 
for the beginnings of an interior and a median line. The latter line blackish brown, very obliquely inward. 
A black dot near the cell-end. Reniform macula greyish yellow, finely edged with white, compressed in the 
middle. Exterior line double, introangular behind the cell, very dentate. Apical spot and submarginal line 
as in the foregoing species. Hindwing smoky brown, somewhat lighter at the base. $ 26 mm. West Africa. 
Eu. glaucocycla Hmps. (16 d). Thorax grey, abdomen brownish. The base and costal-marginal area 
of the forewing greyish-white with a greenish shine, the rest of the wing violettish brownish. Interior line 
as a dot at the costal margin and a double black line from the cell to the inner margin inwards. Ring-macula 
and reniform macula of the ground-colour, with a fine black edge. Exterior line black, double, very obliquely 
outward, slightly intro-angular behind the cell. Submarginal line proceeding from a faded white spot at the 
costal margin. Hindwing whitish in the basal half, smoky brown in the marginal area, with a short white line 
near the anal angle. $ 22 mm. Rhodesia. 
Eu. chlorobasis Hmps. {16d). Body greyish brown, forewing pale reddish brown, somewhat greenish 
at the base. Interior line white, very oblique, broadly edged dark outside. Traces of a dark median line. 
Ring-macida and reniform macula greenish white, edged with black; on the original figure the colours are 
just reverse. The figured from East-Africa shows the ring-macula as a black dot, the reniform macula narrow, 
finely edged with white. Exterior line double, filled with white, very oblicpiely outward at the costal margin, 
then indistinct. The indistinct submarginal line begins with a short white streak before which there is a cho¬ 
colate brown spot. Hindwing of $ dark brown, of cJ lighter at the base and with a white line at the anal angle. 
22 mm. Niger District, Tendaguru. 
Eu. nigridentula Hmps. (16 c) is somew'hat similar to chlorobasis and mima. On the whole of a lighter 
brown colour, the whole forewing except the base with a greenish reflection in a certain light. Interior line 
fine wTiite, double, oblique. The somewhat brownish ring-macula and the reniform macula similar to mHna. 
Exterior line even more pointedly projecting behind the cell than in chlorobasis. Apical spot smaller than in 
mima, the spot below it (being absent in chlorobasis) as in mima. Hindwhng smoky brown. 22—24 mm. West- 
Africa. 
Eu. leucodelta Hmps. (16d). Body and forewdng yellowish white, pale olive brown at the base and 
costal margin. Interior line w'hite, oblique, broadly olive brown behind it. Reniform macula shaped as in 
mima, olive broAvn, edged with white. Somewhat red-brown behind the cell. Exterior line double, indistinct, 
outwards as far as vein 6, then dentately inwards. An olive brown costal-marginal spot betw^een the exterior 
line and the fine Avhite sid^marginal line. Grey behind the latter line. Hindwing brick-red, whitish at the 
base. $ 30 mm. Niger District. Rounded upon 1 $ from Sapele in South Nigeria. 
Eu. metasarca Hmps. (16 e) is one of the smallest species. Body and forewing pale brownish red. 
Interior line indistinct, double, almost vertical. A small ring in the centre of the cell, the reniform macula 
as in leucodelia, brown edged with white. Traces of a vertical median line. Exterior line double, pointed at 
vein 6, far outwards, then dentate. A white submarginal line is only traceable at the costal margin. Distal 
margin slightly angled at vein 4. Hindwing flesh-coloured, paler at the base. 20 mm. Niger District. 
Eu. leighi Hmps. (16 e). Thorax quite pale browui behind, the rest and the abdomen dark red-browm. 
Rorew'ing olive grey in the costal-marginal area, white at the base at the inner margin and at the apex, the 
rest pale reddish brown. Interior line as a dot at the costal margin, broad from the cell, dark brown, bent 
inwards. Ring-macula and reniform macula inconspicuous, small, edged with white. Median line as a dark 
spot at the costal margin and a duller hue below the cell inwards. A thick black streak from the reniform 
macida to the exterior line, red-browur above it. Exterior line double as far as vein 4, then single, obliquely 
outwards as far as vein 6, introangular behind the cell, then dentate. A strong black band behind it from 
vein 6 to the margin at vein 3. Submarginal line fine white as far as this band, and wTiite again at the anal 
angle. Hindwing whitish, pale brown at the margin. 26 mm. Natal. Described according to a single ^ 
from Durban. 
Eu. malanga B.-Bak. (16 d) is quite differently marked. Body and forewing brow'n, wTiite in the median 
area from vein 3 to the inner margin and narrower white at the distal margin. Reniform macida small, in¬ 
distinctly edged with white. A blackish band extends from it to the inner margin near the base, besides a 
curved band to the margin at vein 3. The white median area is slightly excurved betw^een veins 3 and 4. The 
wTiite submarginal line is composed of fragments. Hindwing ochreous, smoky brown in the apical area. ^ 
24 mm. Portuguese West Africa. 
.5. Antennae of y serrate and with short tufts. Distal margin of fore wing not angular. 
Eu. adulatrix Him. This species which is widely distributed in the warmer palaearctic regions has been 
dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 287 and pi. 53 a. It occurs also in South Africa.
