spots, one in ;inil ncai- cml of ci'Il. and six suvroinulin.i^ apical portion of cell anil placed jjetween the 

 nervules. Head ami thorax abovi' black; head and anterior jiortion of thorax spotted with white. Abdomen 

 above dark fuscous, spotted with pale bluish beneath, ilead beneath, sternum and legs black; palpi, 

 sternum and extreme base of wings spotted with white. 



Female. I have not seen this sex, but Butler describes it as having on the posterior wings " a spot in 

 the cell, followed bv three complete series." This probably could be somewhat expressed by saying, 

 posterior wing of the female above marked as underside of the same wing in male. 



Exp. wings, 3 110 to 115 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (coU. Dist.) ; Malacca; Singapore (Brit. Mus.). — Sumatra 

 (coll. Moore). 



This is l)ut a constant local race of IL uclisi'iilwiincri, Moore, a species which Butler 

 considers is probahly the E. gijlU'iihidii, Lucas,* and is apparently conHned to Java. The 

 Bornean form has also been separated, under the name of E. scudderi. 



E. mcdaijica is in itself variable, as in a second male specimen which I possess the spots 

 on the upper surface are much smaller, and the submarginal spots to the posterior wings are 

 very faint and obscure towards the anal angle.

Male. Wings above dark olivaceous-brown, becoming somewhat darker towards base. Anterior wings 

 with the following white spots : — one near costa between first and second subcostal nervules, one beneath 

 end of cell, between first and second median nervules (in some specimens there is an additional spot in and 

 before end of cell and another between second and third median nervules) : a submarginal series of eight 

 spots, the upper three divided by third and fourth subcostal nervules, fourth and fifth much the largest, 

 eighth placed between second and third median nervules ; and a marginal row of small spots. Posterior 

 wmgs with a marginal and submarginal row of small white spots. Wings lieneath pale olivaceous-brown ; 

 anterior wings spotted as above, but with four additional discal spots, one in and near end of cell, one 

 beyond end of cell, and one on each side of third median nervule ; posterior wings spotted as above, but also 

 with six or seven discal spots, one in and near end of cell, and six (in some specimens five) surrounding 

 apical portion of cell, placed between the nervules. Head and thorax above black ; head and anterior 

 portion of thorax spotted with white. Abdomen dark fuscous, spotted with bluish Ijeneath. Head beneath, 

 sternum and legs black ; palpi, sternum and extreme base of wings spotted with white. 



Exp. wings 90 millim. 



H.vB. — Continental India : Assam (Warwick, Brit. Mus.) ; Burma (coll. Moore). — Malay Peninsula ; 

 Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (I3rit. Mus.). 



I have not as yet received the female of this species, nor did I capture one myself in 

 Province Wellesley. As will be seen by the above description, which agrees with Felder's 

 original diagnosis, the discal spots on the anterior wings are variable in number.
