$. Large, forewing measuring 61 — 63 mm. iu length. 



Uppersidi' : forewing, disco-cellular band not extended beyond R^ generally 

 wider in front than behind, broad ; apical black area a little more extended than in 

 E. dolon centralis, the upper partition SC^-*^ — R' of the yellowish white discal area 

 reduced to a narrow, long, triangle, the black colour also more extended basad 

 between R'^ and R' ; postdiscal yellowi.sh white spots comparatively small, upper- 

 most, SC^ — SC*, absent, the second rounded, not triangular like the third, last two, 

 M= — SM-, absent or represented by blue angles, a more or less indistinct blue spot 



behind SM-. Hind wing more strongly dentate than in the other form of E. dolon ; 



disco-submarginal black band about as broad as in those specimens of E. dolon 

 centralis in which it is heaviest, rather wider in front ; the pale blue distal borders 

 of the discul bars of the baud variable iu number as in E. dolon centralis, lunnle 

 C — SC^ always absent, submarginal spots within band blue, larger than in either 

 dolon centralis or dolon dolon ; admarginal interspaces wider than in the other 

 races, the marginal line being extremely thin, much shaded with blue at veins, anal 

 interspace pure pale yellow, wide ; tails almost entirely scaled blue. 



Underside : the costal border of the forewing and the bands of both wings more 



yellow, less olivaceous than in the other forms. Forewing : the interspace 



between discal and postdiscal bar (near internal angle) more or less obviously 

 suffused with blue scaling, jiostdiscal spot (SM') — SM- somewhat angle-shaped ; 



discal bars wider apart than in the other forms. Hindwiug : median band (like 



that of forewing) comparatively broader, and white submarginal scaling more 

 extended, the anal yellow patch purer yellow and larger than in E. dolon dolon and 

 centralis ; submedian bars CM — C and M — (SM') absent or only vestigial ; in three 

 out of four specimens the postdiscal bars R' — M- are vestigial ; black submarginal 

 dots well marked.

g'. Cell of forewing below with many black dots, abdominal fold of 

 hiudwing below speckled with black scales ; postdiscal olivaceous
