]]'ii>ffS, ahote : discal baud restricted on account of the great develojiment of black 



at the base. Forewing : base and cell black; discal yellowish white band 8 to 



In mm. broad in front of SM-, 11 mm. from outer margin at SM-, distally incised 

 at M', jiartition R' — M' small, often sc]iarated from the partition behind it in 

 consequence of M' being scaled black, its dilated oater portion thin, or there is no 

 dilatation ; postdiscal series generally more straight than in the Indian form, the 

 spots of the scries rather larger, the last ones mostly somewhat rounded, not deeply 



concave or angle-shaped as in nigroba.mlis and eiicfamij/j/iis. Hindwing : base 



black, this colour extending along (SM') to uear disco-submarginal band which it 

 does not generally reach ; abdominal fold yellowish white, in the darkest specimens 

 black beyond tip of SIP, with a yellowish white triangular patch at end ; disco- 

 submarginal black band nearly or quite straight pro.ximally down to (SM'), 01 to 

 Sh mm. broad between SO- and R', narrowing behind, the pale blue spots near its 

 discal edge more or less obsolete ; white submarginal spots (within band) varying 

 mneh in size, the upper one the largest ; admarginal spots smaller than in 

 I'udamippKs, much shaded with olive buff and pale blue, sometimes nearly separated 

 from each other ; black marginal line somewhat broader than in the Indian form, 

 visible also at anal angle. 



Underside ; the median and discal bands darker in colour than in K. eudamippus 



eudamippus. Forewing : costal margin tawny olive, especially in middle ; discal 



band somewhat more proximal, less oblique, close to discal branch of median band, 

 which it sometimes touches ; black discal bars less curved, the upper ones straight or 



nearly so; no median bars SC'^ — R-. Hindwing : discal band down to M' straight 



or almost so, more proximal than in eudamippus, the interspace between the discal 

 and postdiscal black luniform bars tawny olive, the discal bars with very thin or 

 without bluish white distal borders ; white submarginal area 5 to 7 mm. broad 

 between SC- — R', very much narrowed behind, divided into spots below M'; 

 admarginal spots dark tawny olive, shading into orange ocliraceons proximally ; 

 pale blue lines in tails very thin; anal admarginal spot gallstone 3'ellow. 



?. Like c?, body above and base of wings more brown, less black. 



Wings, upjierside. Forewing : jiartition R-* — M' of discal baud larger than 



in (?, especially the dilated portion, which is joined to the discal spot R- — R^ by 



means of yellowish white scaling along R^ Hindwing : base less extended black 



than in S , inner edge of disco-snbmarginal black band less straight ; upper 

 admarginal .sjiots paler, less shaded with pale bine. 



Underside : the dots in cell of forewing small (individual character ?). 



Length of forewing : 3, 41 — 46 mm.

According to Leech E. eudamippus rothschildi is found in July and August, 

 but one of the specimens we received from Mr. Leech bears the date " May & June " 

 on the label.
