series of minute pale bnflf dots close to the fringe, and the hiudwing bears a dot in 

 the apex of the cell aud two below the cell, the dots being variable iu size and 

 number. 



A series of c? c? from Mt. Goliath.

(??. Corpus et alae supra et subtns nigrae, coernleo snffasae, panlo nitentes. 



Alae anticae fascia obliqua lata antemediana ornatae ; posticae macula parva 



costali rubra. Subtns anticae fascia rubra ut supra, ante apicem fascia angusta 

 aurea ; posticae fascia snbmarginali anrea curvata ad marginem costalem extensa

Length of forewiug : 18 — 22 mm. 



Neither the body nor the wings are glossy, but the purplish blue sheen is quite 

 distinct, especially on the body and the underside of the hindwing. The vermilion 

 band of the forewing is slightly curved and measures from 4'.'5 to 6 mm. along the 

 median vein ; it is anteriorly somewhat prodnced basad and does not quite reach the 

 hiudmargin ; its distance from the base is anteriorly less and posteriorly more than 



the width of the band. The red costal spot, placed at about three-fourths, does 



not reach R' and is produced to the base along the costal margin ; it corresponds to 

 the anterior portion of the subraarginal band of the underside. 



The red band of the forewiug beneath is connected with the base by means of 

 a more or less incomplete line situated on the costal vein, another line, generally 

 short and sometimes absent, is found on the median vein. The golden subapical 



band varies from 1 to 2 mm. and runs obliquely from the subcostals to R^ The 



golden submargiual band of the hindwing does not reach the anal angle ; it is 

 nearer the outer margin between W and the anal angle than between R^ and the 

 costal margin. It varies in width like the subapical band of the forewing, and 

 extends along the costal margin to the base, the proximal portion of this costal 

 border being suffused with red and sometimes interrupted. There is no golden 

 median band as in E. miranda Roths. (1904), which this species represents. 



The process projecting from the edge of the basal abdominal groove is 

 long (J). 



A series of both sexes from Mt. Goliath.

Length of forewing : 21— 23 mm. 



The vermilion band on the upperside of the forewings varies considerably in 

 width, especially anteriorly, sometimes being here prodnced to near the base. Its 

 slightly curved outer edge crosses the cell between M' and M^ The band reaches 

 beyond the submediau vein in some specimens, in others it docs not reach that vein 

 or stops short at it. 



The yellow bronze subapical band on the underside of the forewiug is about
