disappeared ; ia E. (/(irnmn only there is a vestige of cell-bar 2 on tiie hiiidwinf;. 

 There are no remnants of the other cell-bars in any nf onr Eidcpi's specimens, 

 and this is the more remarkable as the bars are in many Eulrpis extremely 

 heavily marked (E. 2>,'/>'r/i)/s, kadeni, etc.). There is one gronp of Chnrnxes, 

 namely the species allied to m>/cerina, which agrees with Enlepis m the 

 number of cell-bars, but differs in the further development of these bars; for 

 the fourth cell-bar of both wings of the more specialized Etdepis, together with 

 the submedian and median bars, form two more or less continuous lines, which 

 include between themselves a generally brown or yellowish brown baud that is 

 curved basad, pointing at least towards the anal angle of the wing, while in VhirnxcA 

 mijcer'nai the band is curved distad. The median bars (SM')— SIP of the hindwing 

 stand, taken as a whole, at right angles to SM-, inclining basad posteriorly. 



The discal interspace (see p. 550) is white on both wings, forming a white discal 

 band : only in two forms (E. epigenes S, and sometimes in E. coplioidis c?) is the white 

 band extremely reduced. The postdiscal and submarginal interspaces of the fore- 

 wing, or at least a portion of them, have developed white spots, and in many cases 

 the larger portion of the ground-colour of both wings, especially of the underside, 

 has become white. The postdiscal interspaces of the hindwing are more or less 

 Inuiform; the discal and postdiscal bars are generally arched, and the two of the 

 .same cellule often joined together. 



The hindwing has two tails, the second of which is sometimes a mere tooth. 



The outer row of spines at the outer side of the sole of the first segment of 

 the middle and hinder tarsi is incomplete even in the large species of Exlepis 

 (see p. 558). 



The penis-funnel (PI. XIVa. f. 37) lias in all Eidepis the projecting part not 

 concave above, the mouth of the funnel being restricted to tlie base of the hook: in 

 this character Eidepis differs olivionsly from C/ii/ra.n:^ which have at least the 

 basal half of the process hollowed out above (PI. XIVa. f. 39. 41). The penis is in 

 Eidepis also very uniform in shape, all the species agreeing in having a slender 

 penis with a single rather prominent tooth before the ape.x (Fig. 15), while the 

 form and dentition of the penis of Chara.ccs are very variable in the various groups 

 of species. 



Tlie egg seems to agree with that of ( 'huraxes, judging from the eggs taken 

 from the bodies of cabinet specimens. The larva and pnjia are also not structurally 

 different from those of Cli'ira.ces. 



The genus Eidepis is confined to the East, but is found there from Ceylon, 

 Kulu, China and the Loo Choo Islands, over the islands nf the Malay Archipelago, 

 Australia, Solomon Islands to New Caledonia and Fiji. Tlic habits of the species 

 agree on the whole with those of Chttraxes. 



Mr. Moore {I.e.) separates from Eidejii.'i a number of larger species, to which 

 he gives the generic term Miirwareda. The characters upon which this Moorean 

 genus is based are, however, wholly unreliable. 



The name of Eidepis was introduced by Moore {l.r.) by mistake, as said al)ove. 

 The word Eidepis appears first in I'.illberg, Enum. In.-<. p. Sd (ISL'O), where we read :
