E. striatum Druce (25 e) is a species well characterized by the peculiar shape of the wings: the long-extended forewing is strongly bent at the costal margin towards the apex, below the lower radial begins a concave indentation of the distal margin. Yellowish white, tinted olive, with blackish-brown veins and longitudinal markings. More prominently white longitudinal streaks are below the lower median and above the middle radial vein. Hindwings light grey transparent. Abdomen blackish-brown with ochreous-yellow spots growdng larger towards the anus on the sides of the 5 last segments. Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Brazil. — subsp. pallescens Bothsch. from Parana, is of a much paler colour, the markings less distinct and partly vanished.

E. perstriatum Hmps. is extremely near to the preceding and differs chiefly by its entirely dark brown abdomen with subdorsal and sublateral yellow spots only on the 2 last rings; the 3 first rings exhibit beneath hairy, white spots. On the forewings the transverse lines are more distinctly prominent. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. South East Peru.
