blackish brown spot each. On both wings the distal line is distally bordered with light. Beneath pale ashy 
grey, powdered with black, with small spots at the cell-end. In the $ the hindwing is somewhat more concave. 
33—35 mm. Cameroon, Ogowe. 
E. strand! Bryk (41 f). Body greyish-pink, tegula white. Distal margin of forewing more strongly slrandi. 
dentate than in erosa. Wings greyish-reddish. Forewing at the costal margin without spots, at the cross-vein 
a fine dark dot. Instead of the lines an indistinct broad fawn-coloured median and distal band. Above vein 
3 on both wings a blackish-brown submarginal spot, in erosa on the hindwings two of them. Beneath, yellow, 
dotted dark, on the cross-vein in both wings a black spot. 38 mm (tf). Cameroon. The examination of the 
genitals by Dr. Hering proved that glauca Hps. is the same species. Body brown, tegulae whiter. Forewing ylauca. 
silvery-grey, powdered with brown and blackish. At the costal margin a median and distal black spot, and a 
small red-brown submarginal spot between veins 3 and 4. Fringes at the excisions black. Hindwing coloured 
the same. A fine dark line from the apex to the anal margin beyond the centre, outside margined with white. 
Small black submarginal spots above and below vein 4. Beneath on the forewing with an indistinct oblique 
submarginal line. In the $ this line is present also above, and beneath on the hindwing a dark distal line 
from the costal margin to vein 2. 40—43 mm. Lagos. 
E. heterogyna Hps. Forewing of the $ likewise sharply angular, hindwing with an undulating margin heterogynci. 
as far as the sharp angle between veins 3 and 4. In the $ the fore wing is not indented below vein 3, on 
the hindwing the distal margin is uniformly curved. Head reddish, thorax greyish-brown, abdomen grey. 
Forewing silvery-grey, finely powdered with brown except at the base. Traces of a curved oblique blackish- 
brown interior line and of an incurved median line; behind it, in and below the cell, powdered with dark. 
Distal line indistinct, oblique as far as vein 4, then undulating and incurved. Behind it above vein 6 
a red-brown spot. Costal margin at the apex dark-brown, of the same colour a submarginal line from the apex 
to vein 4 and then undulating. Hindwing coloured the same, with an ochreous line from below the apex 
to beyond the centre of the anal margin. Above vein 3 two dark submarginal spots. $ more intensely 
reddish-brown. On the forewing particularly behind the median line, in and below the cell, and behind the 
distal line. An oblique pale submarginal line from below the apex to the inner margin; behind it greyer. Hindwing 
also more red-brown, at the margin not powdered with dark. 38—40 mm. Uganda. 
E. andersotli Tams. (41 d). Body fawn-coloured, patagia whitish. Wings glossy. Forewing cinnamon- andersoni. 
brown. A dark brown shadow through the centre of the cell above the base of vein 2. Black scales above and 
below the base of vein 6, and at vein 1 instead of the distal line. An indistinct oblique yellow line from before 
the apex towards the centre of the inner margin as far as vein 3. Traces of a similar submarginal line 
with 2 black spots between veins 4 and 2, as well as black scales behind it at the margin as far as the anal angle 
and at the apex. Hindwing at the costal margin light, otherwise rather somewhat darker than the fore- 
wing. From the apex to beyond the centre of the anal margin a light line, behind it finely powdered with 
black. Marginal line in both wings flesh-coloured. Beneath similarly coloured and marked. 30—35 mm. 
East Africa. AG? from Fernando-Po dark violettish-brown, powdered with black, without lines, is according 
to the examination of the genitals by Dr. Hering the same species. 
E. heriiigi Gaede (41 f). Body and forewing pale reddish-yellow. Distal margin of the darker brown heringi. 
median band from the centre of the costal margin across the base of vein 2 to the submedian fold, inside of 
it small irregular dark red-brown spots; behind the cell likewise somewhat darker. Beyond the centre of the 
inner margin a black streak, and dark scales above it. Submarginal line yellowish-white, at the veins notched. 
Hind wing at the base and costal margin yellowish-white, otherwise dark reddish-yellow with the usual light 
line. Beneath on the forewing from the base through the centre of the wing pink, with a straight blackish 
line near the distal margin. Inner margin light, apical area yellow. Hindwing yellow with a shadow-like pink 
median band. 32 mm. East Africa. In the genitals somewhat similar to pallida , but the 8th sternit quite 
different according to the examination by Dr. Hering. 
E. pallida Tams. Olive-brown, powdered with blackish-brown, particularly between the cell-end pallida. 
and the distal margin, as well as at the inner margin in both wings. On the hindwing a black ish-brown spot 
at the cell-end and on the centre of the distal area between veins 4 and 3. Forewing with a curved line from 
before the apex to vein 6, then incurved as'far as vein 2, then again exeurved to % of the inner margin. 
Hindwing at the costal margin ivory yellow without a median line. Beneath both wings yellowish-brown, 
powdered with dark and with spots at the crossvein. Forewing at the inner margin light, marginal line as 
above. 32 mm. Niger. 
Holland describes, together with erosa , miserrima. But from the description and figure it cannot 
be seen where the species belongs to. 
12. Genus: I*li»lacrotliyris Wrr. 
Antennae with one row of pectinations. Forewing curved at the costal margin, particularly at the 
base. Apex produced, somewhat tapering. Distal margin angular at vein 4, above it hollow, below it 
oblique. Anal angle rather sharp. Hindwing at the apex cut off, at vein 6 a dent, below it straight as far 
as the rectangular anal angle. Forewing with hyaline spots at the cell-end, below it, and behind the cell.
