the costal margin. In the .marginal area some indistinct small dark spots. Forewing blackish-brown, all the 
wings beneath greyish-brown. South Cameroon, type from Lolodorf in the Berlin Museum. 
Eu. perpusilla sp. n. (28 f). Body ochreous-yellow, forewing pale whitish-yellow with a yolk-coloured 
subbasal line which is rather remote from the base, a yolk-coloured antemedian and postmedian line, the space 
between the latter lines powdered with blackish. Behind them another dark yellow line being distinct as far 
as vein 5, then only traceable towards the costal margin. Subterminal line very distinct, somewhat undulate. 
Hindwing and under surface yellowish-white. <§ type from Kampala, East Africa, in the Tring Museum. 
Eu. griseostriata Kenr. Body grey; forewing white with grey basal, antemedian and postmedian 
transverse lines, between the latter lines a grey V-shaped marking as in perpusilla. Of the same colour is a 
feeble subterminal line and a series of marginal spots. Hind wing of a pure white. Expanse: 42 mm. Madagascar. 
Eu. reutlingeri Holl. is doubtfully ranged here in this genus. Body grey, forewing pale wood-coloured, 
in the centre with a broad dark brown band, beyond the cell angular, and some small subapical spots. Hindwing 
pale wood-coloured, fringe lighter. Expanse 17 mm. Benita. 
Eu. nigra Holl. It is questionable whether it belongs to this genus. Wings uni-coloured smoky brown 
or blackish, fringe hardly paler, some brown hairs at the base of the wing. Forewing with 2 or 3 coal-black 
subapical dots. Both wings beneath lighter, base and margins fawn-coloured. Expanse: 32 mm. Lake 
Onanga. 
Eu. palla Holl. Frons white, thorax pale ochreous-yellow, abdomen greyish. Forewdng yellowish- 
white, with a median band of blackish scales, which is whitish at the end of the cell. Hindwing of a pure white. 
Under surface of a pure white, with a brown ray at the costal margin of the forewing. Expanse: 22 mm. Ogove, 
Congo. 
Eu. xanthomelaena Holl. Body ochreous-yellow. Forewing light orange-yellow r with a basal, median 
and subterminal angular brown transverse band. Neither of them reaches the costal margin, and the veins in 
them are of the ground-colour. Hindwing and under surface of both wings tan-coloured. Expanse: 20 mm. 
Ogove. 
Eu. rotunda Holl. Body white, forewing with 1 to 3 black subapical spots, sometimes with a few black 
scales on the centre of the hind-margin. Wings very short and broad, distal margin very convex. Expanse 
23 mm. Ogove. 
Eu. apicipuncta Holl. (22 d) is similar to rotunda , wings more elongate; forewing with two ochreous- 
yellow transverse lines, the space between them more or less powdered with black, at the apex 1 to 4 black 
spots, generally two. Hindwing and under surface of a pure white. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. Ogove, Congo, 
Fernando Poo. 
Eu. disticta B.-Bak. Wings pale smoky grey, only with a black spot at the cell-end. Expanse: 38 mm. 
Uganda. 
Eu. bigutta Holl. (22 e). Body ochreous-yellow, wings densely white with a large black spot in the 
centre and at the end of the discal cell of the forewing. Cameroon, Ogove. 
Eu. diplosticta Rbl, Similar to bigutta (22 e), the basal black dot, however, below the cell, at the rise 
of vein 2. In the $ the wings are darkened by a smoky grey. Expanse: 28 to 35 mm. Central Africa. Rebel takes 
the latter 3 species to be species of Marbla\ in bigutta, however, there is no accessory cell. 
Eu. croceisticta Hmps. Body white, palpi and chest orange-red, abdomen with a black dorsal line. 
Forewing silky white, with a red dot at the cell-end and a subterminal row of red dots, which is distally curved 
below vein 7 and in the centre. Hindwing silky white. Expanse: 42 mm. Ruwenzori. 
Eu. lepidographa Hmps. Body yellow; abdomen white, beneath yellowish, anal tuft reddish-brown. 
Forewing yellow, an antemedian line of erect black scales, interrupted at the veins, curved. A similar postmedian 
band, both with a lighter line in the centre, both the black scaled bands fused at the hind-margin. Hindwing 
white. Expanse: 34 mm. Gold Coast. 
Eu. fumitincta Hmps. Body brownish ochreous. Forewing brownish-yellow, costal margin brown, 
basally black with a faint red-brown shadow at the cell-end from the costal margin to the hind-margin. Hind wing 
ochreous-yellow, powdered with brown. Under surface powdered with brown. Expanse: 20 mm. Gold Coast. 
Eu. xanthosoma Hmps. Body dark brown mixed with a greyish white. Palpi, frons, and abdomen 
orange, abdomen with black dorsal spots. Forewing dark brown, mixed with a greyish-white; a subbasal brown 
dot in the cell; an antemedian row of dots, streaks at the cell-end, and a postmedian line of dots are dark brown, 
the latter slanting from vein 4, distally curved towards the hind-margin; a subterminal row fo dots and 
a terminal row of streaks are blackish. Hindwing dark brown. Expanse: 20 mm. Sudan.
