R^ — M' touches the discal bar ; at distal side of discal bars a white band of more or 

 less conflnent spots, of which the distal edge is sometimes not sharj)ly defined and 

 which include the postdiscal bars ; these are luuiform, the upper ones ilown to 

 M- more or less obsolete or (jnitc absent, the last two, M- — SM', black, fused to 

 form a mark resembling the number 3 ; basal and median interspace of cell, base 

 of costal margin, internal marginal area (extending basally to cell) and interspace 

 l)etween median bars iSC'' — R", and nearly tlie wliole interspace between median 

 and discal bars R- — R', white ; internal marginal area externally black along SM- ; 



rest of wing russet, external marginal area paler. Hindwing : subiiiedian line 



of bars heavy, extending just beyond M ; median bars also heavy, bar M' — iSP 

 situated along M-, bar JVP— (SM') more distal, joining bars (SM') — SM', which are 

 not separated from each other, forming one lino that stands at right angles to 

 SM" and is gradually dilated jiosteriorly : discal white band as above, extending 

 to M'-, slightly narrowing down to R-, then strongly triangular : discal bars ('— R- 

 heavy, forming a continuous curved line that stands immediately at the edge of 

 the white band : discal bar R° — R^ very short, not reaching R", fused with the 

 postdiscal black bar to form'a linear spot behind R-; discal bars R' — SBI'^ luniform, 

 well separated from each other; jiostdiscal rufous red spots placed as in jH/rrliKx, 

 first oblique, very narrow behind, scarcely (or not) touching S(J', separated from 

 discal bar l)y a bluish white lunule, and externally bordered by the very thin 

 postdiscal black bar, sjiots SC" — R" absent; the postdiscal bars close to the discal 

 ones, from which they are separated by white bars; postdiscal bar SC" — IV with 

 patch of white scales at outer side; rufous red spot R'' — M' oblicpie, ovate, the next two 

 somewhat bean-shaped, all three edged black distally and bluish white or (the last) 

 nearly blue proximally ; submarginal black bars transverse, linear: white sub- 

 marginal spots of the same shajie, broader ; admarginal spots also transverse, not 

 interrupted at the internervular folds, ochraceous, with blue triangles at the tips 

 of the posterior nervules ; marginal black line lead-colour in certain lights ; basal 

 area up to submedian bars and (SM') wliite, with the scales of the under layer more 

 or less dark brown ; interspace between submedian and median bars and outer area 

 of wing russet, paler towards submarginal sj)ots and between St'° — R'. 



5. Unknown ; probably not essentially different from cJ, judging from tlie 

 allied species. 



Hal). South Celebes : Maros country (^V. Doherty, August — September 1 sOl ), ~S<S. 



Tiie species is described from the " Moluccas," under which name tlie 

 island of Celebes was formerly included ; it does not, of course, occur on the 

 Moluccas proper. As Everett and Fruhstorfer did not meet with coffiiatus, and 

 Doherty also did not succeed in finding it again during his trip to Palos Bay in IS'.KJ, 

 it must be a rare insect. In the forewing being much more strongly falcate than in 

 the Moluccan forms of pyrrhtis, E. cognatm possesses a remarkable character found 

 in so many Gelebensian Nymphcdidae and PapiUonidae. Most authors have 

 associated K. cognatm with E. sclireihi'r, but cognatus is, in fact, a Celebensian re- 

 presentative of E. pijrrhus, witli which it agrees in tiic development of the cell-bars, 

 the discal and postdiscal bars, and submarginal spots of the forewing, while it 

 disagrees in these markings entirely with .<:clnrib<'r. The presence of the rather 

 bright blue discal scaling on the uiijierside of the wings of both cogii'itas and schreiber 

 was jirobably the reason why the species were associated with one another ; but 

 this character is of no significance, as tlie blue scaling is also fouiid in jj;/rrliiis, 

 though it lias there a less bright tint.
