BUTTERFLIES FROM THE INDO-MALAYAN REGION. 353 



7. EUTHALIA ERIPHYL^, n. sp., PL F, Fig. 7, $ . 



Habitat : Tenasserim. 



Expanse : $ , 25 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings shining' greenish- 

 brown. Foreicing with a short fuscous bar near the base of the 

 discoidal cell; a quadrate patch of the ground-colour enclosed by 

 a fine fuscous line across the middle of the cell ; then a quadrate 

 patch of fuscous ; lastly, an oval patch of the ground-colour closing 

 the cell ; in the submedian interspace is a short curved fuscous line 

 close to the base, and a ringlet spot at the point where the first 

 median nervule is given off ; a very broad discal fuscous band, 

 which anteriorly bifurcates in the lower discoidal interspace and 

 encloses a triangular patch of the ground-colour, and posteriorly 

 encloses two spots also of the ground-colour, the anterior spot in 

 the first median interspace linear, the posterior spot in the sub- 

 median interspace round. Hind-wing with the basal two-thirds 

 fuscous, beyond which is an obscure series of diffused fuscous spots 

 between the veins, neither reaching the costa nor the anal angle ; 

 a fuscous ring-s]3ot at the end of the cell enclosing a space of the 

 ground-colour. Underside, both wings paler than on the upperside. 

 Foreicing, discoidal cell crossed by the four usual curved fuscous 

 lines ; a submarginal curved fuscous band, anteriorly attenuated and 

 ending in an irrorated patch of bluish-white scales at the extreme 

 apex of the wing, posteriorly in a rather large rounded spot on the 

 submedian fold. Hindwing with the usual fuscous linear lines in 

 and around the discoidal cell ; no other markings whatever. 



Nearest to E. garuda, Moore, and at first sight giving the impres- 

 sion that it is only a suffused aberration of that species. As, 

 however, Mr. H. J. Elwes, to whom I am indebted for the specimen 

 described, possesses several other specimens exactly similar from the 

 same locality, I think it probable that the species is a good one. 

 From E. garuda it differs on the upperside of the forewing in having 

 the two well- separated dark bands across the disc in that species 

 run together in the middle ; on the hindwing the basal area is 

 much darker, and the prominent submarginal series of blackish 

 spots of E. garuda is obsolescent. On the underside the 

 submarginal band of the forewing ends at the apex, while in
