change from a pale yellowish hyaline to ochreous or almost orange. The occurrence of the Ethiopian species 
is entirely confined to Tropical Africa, only one species penetrating to the south as far as Natal and Zulu Land. 
In America the genus Syntomeida (Vol. VI, p. 89, pi. 16) approximately corresponds with them. A great number 
of new species have quite recently been described from the Malay Archipelago. The larvae exhibit in front 
and behind prolonged hair-pencils, and besides racliatingly haired tubercles; they live on Convolvulaceae etc. 
E. madagascariesisis Bsd. (5h). Patagia, tegulae, and the basal spots of the wings are reddish-orange, madagasca- 
Madagascar. rien-sis. 
E„ amoena Mschlr. (= africana Btlr.) (5 h). All the spots on the forewing are honey-coloured. Abdomen amoena. 
with a yellow belt on ring 2 and a red one on rings 5 and 6, otherwise blackish with a faint steel-blue reflection; 
patagia and tegulae red. East Africa, to the south as far as Zulu Land. 
E. formosa Guer. (= folletii Gray) (5g). The 5 th and 6th abdominal rings are more golden yellow formosa. 
than red-brown; all the hyaline spots of the wings are pale diaphanous wax-coloured or whitish. East Africa 
and Madagascar. 
E. lethe F. (= eumolphus Cr., fulvida Btlr.) (5 h). All the spots of the wings are dark honey-coloured, lethe. 
the 4th and 6th abdominal rings of a magnificent sky-blue glitter. West Africa to Mombuttu Land. 
E. guhieensis F. (= sperchia Cr., interstans Wkr., leonis Btlr., bellula Mab.) (5h) is similar to the guineensis. 
preceding, but the patagia and tegulae are not red or yellow spotted, but of a steel blue gloss. Spots on the 
wings ochreous. Hindwing with 2 separate spots, the proximal one of which extends to the base of vein 2 
in the form splendens Btlr. ■ — - In ab. discifera Zy. the spot below the cell is semicircular and does not extend splendens. 
farther towards the base than the cellular spot. -— West Africa. 
E. hampsoni nom. nov. ( = rubricollis limps, nec Wkr.) (5h). The median group of spots is much hampsoni. 
smaller than in the preceding, so that the whole basal quarter of the forewing remains black. West Africa (Sierra 
Leone). The name E. rubricollis has already been given to a form from the South Sea; cf. Vol. X, p. 88. 
E. interrupta Griinb. (= jacksoni B.-Bak.) (5h). Here the proximal spot of the hindwing is very interrupta. 
small, the distal spot, however, large; in the forewing the whole centre is black. Abdomen on the rings 2 and 5 
red-brown. West and Central Africa.
