Eli. suspensa sp. n. Scheme of markings as in pygmaea, but the groundcolour of the forewing is 
brownish-yellow, the hindwing greyish-brown. Ivory Coast. 4 dd * n the Tring Museum. 
Eu. chrysophaea Wkr. Forewing golden yellow, at the apex roundish, distal margin very convex and 
very oblique. Hindwing brown, at the hind-margin speckled with yellow, fringe golden yellow. Veins 3 —{— 4 
of hindwing on an uncommonly long stalk. Expanse: 30 mm. Abyssinia. 
Eu. atrodisca n. sp. has the habitus of nessa, but the wings with a black streak at the cross-vein. 
Dark ochreous-yellow, hindwing lighter. $ type from Verulam in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. nessa Swinh. (22 c). Wings uni-coloured orange-ochreous, fringe of forewing somewhat darker. 
Under surface somewhat paler yellow'. Uganda, Ruanda. —- In nigrovenata subsp. nov. which may be a distinct 
species the forewing is more roundish, veins in the forewing and hindwing extremely fine black. $ type from 
Unyoro in the Tring Museum. 
Eu. mediosquamosa B.-Bak. Body straw-coloured. Forewing yellowish-white, base straw-coloured. 
Antemedian and postmedian lines straw-coloured, the space betw'een them, except at the costal margin, 
powdered with blackish. Traces of a similar subterminal and terminal line dark. Hindwing whitish. Expanse: 
29 mm. Congo. 
Eu. monophyes Su'h. Antennae, frons and vertex ochreous red, wings short and broad, of a pure white, 
with a faint pink tint. Costal margin of forewing and legs ochreous-yellow. Expanse: 28 mm. Bihe, West 
Africa. 
Eu. neavei Tams. Forewing lustrous white, costal margin at the base orange-yellow, then whitish- 
yellovv. Veins; base and margin whitish-yellow. At the cell-end an orange-red spot and a subterminal row of 
such dots, four of which are above vein 4, 3 below vein 3. Some orange-yellow scales sometimes on the hind- 
margin. Hindwing lustrous white, veins, distal margin and hind-margin yellowish-white. Body yellowish- 
white, head and legs partly orange-yellow, $ only with traces of orange-yellow on the body and on the costal 
margin of the forewing beneath. Anal tuft sepia-brown. Expanse 36 to 40 mm. Nyassaland. 
Eu. annulipes Bsd. Forewing brownish-grey, base, part of costal margin and of hind-margin darker, 
before the distal margin paler internerval streaks. Body and hindwing brownish-grey, tarsi with yellow and 
black rings. Expanse: 55 mm. Bourbon. 
Eu. melanovis Strd. Body and wings blackish-grey with an olive hue. Forewing with 2 narrow black 
transverse bands, the antemedian line vertical on the costal margin, almost straight, the postmedian line parallel 
to the margin. Cross-vein with a black streak. Expanse: 21 mm. East Africa. 
Eu. gemmata Dist. (22 cl). Greatest part of body white, abdomen yellowish like the under surface, 
chest, antennae and legs. Anal tuft black. Wings silvery white, forewing with 4 oclireous-yellow r , slanting 
transverse bands and an ochreous yellow cross-vein. The 3rd transverse stripe contains behind the cell two 
black dots. South Africa. Janse places the species to Lacipa. It exhibits an extremely small accessory cell, 
but vein 11 mostly rises separately from the cell. 
Eu. ostra Swh. Body above and beneath yellow; legs above brown-striped, tarsi brown. Forewing 
yellow with subbasal, antemedian, and discal transverse stripes, which in the $ are only hinted at near the 
hind-margin. Five black spots from the posterior end of the cell to the apex, and this row is behind connected 
with the most distal orange spot. Hindwing lighter than forewing, without markings. Forewing beneath at 
the base suffused with brown. In the $ the most distal orange stripe probably extends across the row of black 
spots. Expanse: 28 mm. British East Africa. 
Eu. florida Swh. (22 c). Head and thorax white, sides of thorax and abdomen ochreous-yellow, also 
the legs. Forewing white; costal margin, distal margin, and an antemedian and postmedian stripe ochreous 
yellow. The antemedian stripe is broken, the discal one straight. Black dots are at the base of the costal margin, 
behind the cell proximad to the first transverse line a group at the cell-end, some at the second transverse stripe, 
and a complete row at the distal margin. Hindwing uni-coloured ochreous-yellow. Wings beneath ochreous- 
yellow, forewing intensely blackened, hindwing with a black spot at the cell-end. Expanse: 28 mm. South 
and East Africa. 
Eu. floridula n. sp. (28 g). Forewing as in florida, but it lacks the two black dots below' the cell, and 
distally to the orange-yellow postmedian line parallel to it there is a blackish nebulous band. Hindwing paler 
than in florida, whitish yellow. $ type from German East Africa in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. sundara Swh. Head, thorax, and antennae orange-ochreous, collar white. Abdomen orange,

yellow' transverse stripe, all being sinuate and distally convex. At the margin a series of darker, sometimes 
triangular spots; a group of similar spots at the cell-end. Hindwing with a broad blackish marginal stripe, beneath 
at the base blackish. In the forewing beneath all the margins are blackish. Expanse: 22 mm. Uganda. 
Eu. gracilis Hpffr. (22 d). Forewing white, with a subbasal, antemedian, and discal orange-yellow' 
transverse stripe, the second being very convex, the third almost straight. A black spot behind the cell proximad
