irregular!}' concave between veins, band itself somewhat broader, discal spot Sri^ — R2 

 more proximal, and liindwing with outer edge of yellowish white area dentate at 

 veins, admarginal spots pale bine, olivaceous, except anal one. 



On underside the median and discal bands are more yellow; the forewing has 

 the median bars SC/^ — R- strongly marked, there is mostly also bar SC* — SC present, 

 these bars are more proximal than in the Indian race ; the discal band is broad, 

 more irregular than in /•otkschildi, the discal black bars are very heavy, the 

 submargiual area is less pure white, more grey, hence the white postdiscal and 

 submarginal spots well visible; marginal band somewhat broader than in rothschildi- 



Hindwing: all the black lines heavy; disco-postdiscal band slightly, but almost 



evenly, convex ; postdiscal black Innules heavier and more curved, the white 

 submarginal area much narrower, the black submarginal spots larger and the 

 admarginal ones heavier, than in rothschihli. 



?. The same differences as in S, still more pronounced, especially those 

 presented by the imderside ; abdomen beneath as iu rothsckildi ? . 



The blue Innules in the black band of the hindwing above are in both sexes 

 deeper blue than in the continental races, and in ? well pronounced. The large, 

 bine, admarginal spots of the ? show some yellowish scaling in centre.

<S. Similar to E. eudamippus rothsckildi a,nd formoscmus. Differs from all the 

 other forms of E. eudamippus in the yellowish white discal band of the upperside of 

 the forewing being shorter and narrower ; the partition R' — M' is almost entirely 

 obliterated; the postdiscal spots R^— M- of the same wing are very large, while spot 

 (SM') — SM- is absent ; the admarginal spots of the hindwing above are large ; tails 

 short. On the underside the black markings are very heavy ; the cell spots of the 

 forewing fused together, the discal baud is broad, touches the discal branch of the 

 median band ; the median bars SC^ — R- are present ; the hindwing seems to be 

 similar to that oi formosnnus. 



Length of forewing 44 mm. 



Hub. Okinawa, Lin Kin Islands. 



We have not seen this form.
