Ell. convergens B.-Bak. Body yellowish, abdomen darker. Forewing lemon-colonred, the antemedian 
and postmedian areas broadly powdered with blackish-brown; this irroration is convergent behind. Hindwing 
pale yellow, in the $ white. Expanse: 22 mm. Gunnal, West Africa. 
Eu. citrona B.-Bak. (ctiscitrona Swh.). Body white, forewing pale straw-coloured, hindwing somewhat 
whiter. Expanse: 22 mm. N'Dalla-Tando. 
Eu. rubricosta Faivc. Body and wings white, the last three segments of the abdomen golden yellow. 
Forewing with a red-brown stripe at the costal margin beneath from the base almost to the apex. Expanse: 
32 mm. British East Africa. 
Eu. n'dalla B.-Bak. Body creamy white; forewing white, median area with some black scales, somewhat 
undulate. Before the apex a sometimes absent black dot, another dot below it on the margin, right under vein 5. 
Hindwing white. Expanse: 26 mm. N'Dalla-Tando, in December, at an altitude of 2700 m. 
Eu. isis B.-Bak. Body yellowish, forewing light lemon-coloured, with traces of a paler undulate post¬ 
median transverse line on the outside of which there is a black short spot extending from the fold to vein 2. 
Some black scales also at the base. Hindwing quite light yellow. Expanse: 36 mm. N'Dalla-Tando, at an altitude 
of 2700 m in November. 
Eu. nigrolunulafa B.-Bak. Forewing pale lemon-coloured, with a pale curved median and a similar 
undulate postmedian line, and traces of a similar subterminal line. At the cell-end a hemochrome spot, a black 
crescent at the anal angle between 1 b and 2. Hindwing pale lemon-coloured. Expanse: d 26, $ 38 mm. Gunnal. 
Eu. canariensis Kenr. Body canary-coloured, antennal ends and tarsi brown; forewing canary-coloured, 
at the apex somewhat darker, a feeble basal line and a slightly angular antemedian line are brown, between 
them two dots. Postmedian line the same, followed by 2 subapical spots. Between the two latter lines there 
is a straight brown band slightly bifurcating towards the costal margin. Hindwing paler, with an indistinct 
lunar spot at the cell-end. Expanse: 50 mm. Madagascar. 
Eu. castaneo-striata Kenr. Body white; forewing white with brown bands: a subbasal one, an antemedian 
one and a postmedian one which are broader and convergent at the hind-margin, forming a V-shaped marking. 
On the cross-vein in the postmedian line a darker crescent. Expanse: 38 mm. Madagascar. 
Eu. aspersa Fldr. Placed to Dasychira by Swinhoe, to Euproctis by Janse. Forewing brownish-grey, 
with a darker antemedian and postmedian line, the latter terminating into a yellowish spot at the costal margin. 
Hindwing yellowish with a blackish discal line which is double in front. Expanse: 30 mm. Natal. 
Eu. confluens n. sp. (27 g) in the habitus resembles the forms of Eu. fasciata in which the discal area 
of the forewing is strongly strangulated. Both wings greyish ochreous. Forewing with 2 orange-yellow transverse 
lines, which are convergent below the cell; the space between them powdered with blackish, and so is a subter¬ 
minal line which is connected with the central area between veins 5 and 6 by a longitudinal stripe of black 
irroration. Body ochreous-yellowish. $ type Horn Kibwezi, British East Africa, in the Tring Museum. 
Eu. contemptor sp. n. (28 c). Body light yellow like the forewing which shows a black round spot 
at the cell-end from which but one band of black irroration runs vertically to the hind-margin. A distinct 
subterminal row of black dots. Hindwing quite light sulphur-coloured yellowish-white. types from Spanish 
Guinea in the Berlin Museum, paratypes from British East Africa in the Tring Museum. 
Eu. dentata sp. n. (22 e). Body yolk-coloured like the forewing which has 2 light pale yellow short 
longitudinal streaks out of the base, a similarly coloured very convex antemedian and postmedian line; subter¬ 
minal line likewise pale yellow, with 2 proximal dents in the anterior portion and one above the tornus. Marginal 
line fine pale yellow. Spot on the cross-vein red. Hindwing lighter than forewing. (J9tyP es from Dar es Salaam 
in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. multidentata sp. n. (28 g) is like dentata, but the subterminal line is dentate on all the veins. 
Discal area from the red crossvein-spot to the hindmargin powdered with black. $ type from German East 
Africa in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. rorida sp. n. (28 g). Body and forewing dark ochreous, hindwing blackish-brown with yellow 
fringe. Under surface ochreous-yellow, apical third of forewing partly powdered with blackish-brown. <$ type 
from Hoache in the Tring Museum. Central Abyssinia. 
Eu. albinula sp. n. Body yellowish-white, abdomen white, anal tuft rust-coloured yellow. Forewing 
yellowish-white with a yellow median line which bifurcates at the cell-end towards the costal margin, a similar 
postmedian line and an indistinct subterminal line, all the yellow lines being strewn with scanty red-brown 
scales. Hindwing and under surface purely white. $ type from Ogove in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. kamerunica sp. n. (27 f) seems to be the most similar to reutlingeri Holl. Forewing wood-coloured 
brown with a broad black coarsely scaled median band parted light by the veins, edged with light, not reaching
