two in cell generally small. In one specimen there is a black clot in the centre of 

 the cell of the forewiug above. 



¥ . No lines upon the veins, no fiiscons streaks ; basal black dots, especially the 

 outer ones, larger than in other snbspecies. Below, forewiug with the two black 

 spots of the same size as in ? biformis ab. biformi-s; hindwing with five spots, which 

 are minute, except the costal one.

Easily distinguished from all other snbspecies of e(/enf; by tlie subbasal dots of 

 the forewing being large and the veins not being paler yellow than the rest of the 

 wing. AV. E.

In the tnale the whole forewing, except the base and the veins, becomes more or 

 less dark fuscous ; in our single S siiecimen there is a black subbasal dot at the hind- 

 margin of the forewing; the hindwing has a fuscous border. The underside of the 

 forewing is black, and the greater part of the hindwing is also black. 



In ihe/emn/e the blackish fuscous colour is less extended than in the 6 and much 

 paler, but the wings are much more fuscous than in the fenwle sex of any other race 

 of egens.

The black dot in the middle of the cell of the forewiug above which so very 

 often appears in the Timorese form of egens is always marked in andamana ; there 

 is also a fuscous spot at the end of the cell. In the reduction of the size and number 

 of the spots of the hindwing below andamana comes nearest to the forms from the 

 lesser Sunda Islands.

Differs from A. eqens in the first and second joints of the palpi being wholly 

 black on the upperside, instead of having a black apical spot: the base of the fore- 

 wing liears five large black spots, which are situated as in rgen.^i. 



d . We have only one specimen which has nearly the apical half of the fore- 

 wing below black : on tlie hindwing there is, besides the costal patcli, a small black 

 spot before vein ."i.
