colour. On the black of each of the bod)- rings occurs a wide milky-white 

 transverse band attenuated at either end; this band on the second thoracic 

 segment is narrower. The head, the thoracic legs, and lower part of the pro- 

 legs are black. A pair of long black appendages project on the back from the 

 second and third thoracic, and from the second and penultimate abdominal 

 segments, the first pair being the longest. I noticed the caterpillar moved the 

 two foremost of the processes independently, but not to such an extent as 

 to bend them. 



It feeds voraciously on the leaves of a species of Apocynaceae, a wild climbing 

 plant, evidently related to the food plant of E. Rafflesi Moore. It pupated on 

 the i^' September, the colour of the chrysaUs being a mixture of brown and black 

 with a golden and silver lustre, while the imago emerged on the lo* September.

Fruhstorfek applies the local name Lamos to the Javanese specimens. 

 The species, discovered originally in Sumbawa, is recorded by Fi?.UHsroRFER 

 from E. Java, the specimens captured by him there, and which are in his collection, 

 being the only ones known from that island. They differ but slightly from the 

 specimens taken in Lombok. He has found it impossible to have an illustration 

 made of it. 



Snellen notes here : 



"This species, with an expanse of wings of 62 — 66 mm., has about the 

 form of wing of E. Malayica Bud. but is much smaller, the median area of 

 the wing, especially on the under side, is distinctly darker while the light dots, 

 a transverse row of which in front of the posterior margin of the hind-wings is 

 twice suddenly interrupted, arepurplish-white in colour. In the larger Malayica 

 the same transverse row of dots is curved round above, then straight, while the 

 colour is rather somewhat yellowish-white. The fore-wings, moreover, are 

 sometimes a little darker towards the external margin, but not in the median 

 area. In the 9 the inner margin of the fore-wings is quite straight but it does not 

 differ from the c? either in colour or marking. On the under side of the hind- 

 wings may be observed behind the dark median area an ill-defined, curved, 

 lighter transverse band. According to Dr. Pagenstecher's notes the species 

 appears to vary somewhat. It belongs to the section Adigama Moore, together
