Eu. melalepia Hmps. Body yellowish-white, palpi blackish-brown, only apex light. Forewing yellowish- 
white, costal margin basally blackish-brown. A black dot on the cell and an oblique band of black scales from

Eu. kenricki Swh. (= variegata Kenr.). Head, antennae, and forelegs black, also the prothorax, with 
some pink hairs at the collar, and snow-white tegulae. Abdomen yellow, at the end somewhat darker. Forewing

Eu. rubroguttata Auriv. (22 b). Pale yellowish; abdomen, hind wing and wings beneath white, forewing

Eu. parallela Holl. (22 b). Forewing yellow, with a broad median band powdered with black from 
the cell-end to the hind-margin, bordered by two parallel pale lines. Hindwing yellowish-white. Expanse: 
22 mm. Span. Guinea, Gabun, Cameroon. 
Eu. melanopholis Hmps. is said to be allied to rubroguttata. Body yellowish-white. Forewing yellowish- 
white, the hindmarginal area partly strewn with black scales. A black dot on the cross-vein, a series of brown 
and black subterminal dots from the costal margin to below vein 5, and a dot above vein 3. In front of this

Eu. flavicincta Janse. Uni-coloured, yellowish, tegulae orange-yellow. Forewing scantily strewn 
with a pale yellow, from the cell-end to the apex a feeble brownish line. Hindwing pale yellow 7 . Forewung very 
long and narrow, margin very oblique. Expanse: 30 mm. South Africa. 
Eu. quadrifascia Beth.-Bkr. Body chrome yellow. Forewung chrome-yellow with 4 broad bands of 
blackish-brown scales, the basal band not reaching into the cell, the median band angular at the cell-end, 
the postmedian band undulate, interrupted by the veins, the subterminal band narrow, only distinct between 
the veins. Hindwing paler, uni-coloured. Expanse: 36 mm. Lagos. 
Eu. limonea Btlr. (22 b). Body oclireous-yellow, with a black anal tuft, forewing lemon-coloured, 
on the hind-margin with an oviform black spot, and with traces of an orange postdiscal line. Hindwing uni¬

Hind wing somewhat lighter than forewing. Expanse: 33 mm. German East Africa.

centre, the other before the margin, parted light by the veins. Hindwing, both wings beneath, underside of 
body, and legs purely white. Expanse: <$ 35, $ 47 mm. Old Calabar. 
Eu. melaleuca Holl. (22 b) is similar to utilis, but besides with a basal band of the forewing; expanse 
only 15 mm (d 1 ). — Ogove, Cameroon. In the hindwing vein 5 is absent, for which reason it ought to be placed 
to Porthesia. 
Eu. tessmanni sp. n. resembles melaleuca. Forewing darker yellow, the subterminal band more 
indistinct, but behind it one brown spot each below veins 2 and 6. Hindwing and abdomen light yellow 7 , not
