The wings are generally more elongate, narrower, compared with Beara, the
forewing apex slightly falcate. The colour is a richer, deeper brown.
The male genitalia are characterised by a long, apically narrow and ampullate
saccus, flanked by coremata where the scales have become massive, blade-like as
illustrated (Fig 526). In the female the ductus and balloon-like bursa are
flimsy, the latter with an even more flimsy appendix bursae.
Apart from the type species, the genus also includes
E.
sula
Hampson from Sulawesi and the Sula Is.
