E. chelensis is ako allied to E. sumatranu, Wallace, from Sumatra, 

 and to E. konga, Grose Smith, from the Kina Balu Mountain, 

 North Borneo, which latter is said to have a rather small white sub- 

 costal spot on the underside of the hindwing "which is absentia 

 E. penanga and E. sumatrana." 



Described from two specimens in the collection of the Rev. "Walter 

 A. Hamilton, by whose native collectors it was captured at Chela- 

 punji, at the foot of the Khasi Hills, on the Sylhet side, at nearly 

 sea-level, whence most of the butterflies recorded from the Khasi 

 Hills are obtained.
