Resembling E. hebe fallax from Java in the width of the discal band of the 

 underside, but easily distinguished, inter alia, by the much more extended bluish 

 white scaling in the marginal region of the upperside of both wings.

Though Swainson says that he adopts " the original specific name of Cramer," 

 he nevertheless changed that name athamas into uthnma. That Swainson confounded 

 the present insect with E. athamas cannot be wondered at, since even such a 

 specialist as Mr. de Niceville expresses, in Journ. As. Soc. Benif. LXIV. ii. p. 436 

 (189;)), doubts about the specific distinctness of E. hebe, moori, and athamas. 



Dr. Butler, I.e., treats the ]>resent form of hebe as a distinct species, while he 

 regards tlie Bornean form of hebe as " a slight melanism of the type form." E. hebe 

 fallax would, accordingly, be a stronger " melani.sm " of the " type form " — i.e. of 

 the first described form — which is the least typical of all. 



6 ? . Upperside. Forewing : bluish or yellowish white scaling at the onter 



side of the discal band proper only 2A mm. (or less) wide before and behind SM-, 

 its outer edge straight or nearly so, agreeing in this respect with E. hebe lombokianus 

 smd plautus ; cell in cJ with very little white scaling ; discal spot R' — R^ varying 



in 6 from 1| to 4 mm., in ? about 5 mm. long. Hindwing : black outer area 



entire or nearly so, seldom somewhat broken up into jiatches (in palest ? ?), 

 somewhat narrower from R' — R^ than anteriorly and between R^ and M-, or of 

 nearly even width, measuring in front of SC^ 6J to T mm. in 6, often a little less 

 in ? ; the bluish white postdiscal scaling not conspicuously concave between veins, 

 its outer edge sometimes almost entire, the scaling often more or less extended 

 along radial veins, forming very thin rays ; admarginal sjiots very obscure as a rule, 

 seldom whitish yellow and well visible ; blue streaks in tails thin. 



Underside similar to that of E. hebe hebe, but discal bands much wider, the 



postdiscal ferruginous red spots of the hindwing smaller. Forewing: discal band 



in (J nearly halt as wide agaiu, in ? more than twice as wide, as the darker outer 



region of wing measured along M-. Hindwing : discal band extending beyond 



M- in both sexes, less angled outwardly before R^ than in the Bornean race, upper 

 portion less concave ; at costal margin in c? nearly or fully twice, in ? more than 

 twice, as wide as dark outer area of wing measured along V ; its outer edge crossmg 

 M- in J 4 to G mm., in ¥ to 7 mm., from base of that vein.
