Winffs : uppersii/e purplish black, with a creamy white, broad, discal band on 

 both wings, which appears to oecnpy the greater part of the wings, as the basal and 



the onter regions of the wings are more or less extensively scaled white. Fore wing: 



the bluish white scaling at outside of band is much restricted at M', or here even 

 absent, widening out behind, widest at M- and SM-, where it often apjiroaches 

 outer margin of wing, the edge of tliis scaling either almost entire, or sinnated 

 twice between M" and SM-; the outline of the sinuations resembling the letter M, 

 sometimes the sinuses are separated from the black area by admarginal white scaling 

 which e.xtends from M- to SM-; white scaling at base and in cell variable in extent : 

 discal band never rcacliing across W as in ? of J'J. moori ; discal spot R' — 11- 

 variable in size in all subspecies, larger in ? than in c? ; in many ? ? there is a 



vestige of the submarginal dot SC^ — 11' (present in most K. athamns). Hindwing: 



base bluish white, abdominal fold generally white at base, blackish grey be^-ond 

 middle, and white before anal angle, or almost entirely blackish, or nearly all white; 

 bluisli white discal scaling often so much reduced that there remains a black border 

 to the wing of 7 or 8 mm. widtli, or that scaling more extended, often fused with the 

 admarginal spots, separating the black area into patches ; admarginal spots in the 

 black-bordered forms generally very obscure, in the whiter forms more obvious, 

 sometimes all white or bluish white, and fused together ; the spots SC- — R' not, or 

 very little, more prominent than the others, anal one yellow, often shaded with 

 white or pale blue ; tails with pale blue streaks. 



Underside : russet fawn colour, glossy, except a darker marginal liaud on fore- 

 wing and the submarginal area of hindwing, somewhat vinaceous in side light, 

 interspace between sulmiediau and median bars of both wings pale chestnut ; inter- 

 space of discal band of forewing and R' and outer border to band on botli wings 

 reddish chestnut, sometimes that border more ferruginous ; submedian bars distally 

 and median bars proximally very thinly edged with glossy scales (these glossy lines 



are thinner than in E. moori). Forewing : cell with one or (seldom) two dots ; 



cell-bar approaching disco-cellular spot; discal band wider in ? than in cj, about 

 as broad at M" as dark outer area of wing, or broader, its outer edge not concave 

 between M- and SM'' ; postdisco-submarginal spots well-marked, their proximal 

 borders (postdiscal bars) ferruginous, with the exception of the whole, or part of, 

 the last spot, the outer borders of these spots (submarginal bars) either black or also 

 more or less ferruginous ; the glossy scaling at distal side of these bicolorous spots 

 not or little broader than the spots themselves, often forming small patches ; 



median bar R' — R- sometimes vestigial. Hindwing: discal band varying in 



width in the different sulispecies, either extending beyond M- or just reaching it, its 

 outer edge sometimes nearly straight, but mostly concave down to R', crossing R' 

 1 — 5 mm. from origin of M' in S, H— 7 mm. in ? ; costal discal black bar marked; 

 ferruginous red postdiscal spots and submarginal markings as in the allied species. 



Length of forewing, cJ 30 — 38 mm.
