Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Brit. Mus.).— Borneo (Brit. Mus. ; colls. Moore and Dist.). 



E. mnlciher is only liere iucludcd on the strength of a female specimen, described as from 

 Malacca, and contained in the British Museum. I have seen no other specimen from the Malay 

 Peninsula, and it has hitherto been considered as the constant Bornean race or form of 

 E. viiddiiius, and peculiar to that island.

Male. Anterior wings olivaceous-brown, becoming darker with dark l)lue reflections towards apex, 

 and marked with the following bluish spots: — one between first and second subcostal nervules ; one beyond 

 cell above up])er discoidal nervule ; one above first median ner\'ule ; another in cell a little before lower 

 disco-cellular nervule ; and a submarginal row of five spots, of which the upper and subapical one is very 

 large and irregularly shaped. Posterior wings with the base olivaceous-brown ; remainder much paler, and 

 with a pale discoidal patch. Underside of wings pale olivaceous-brown ; anterior wings marked generally 

 as above, hut the spots white and smaller, the submarginal series having the large subapical spot above only 

 indicated by a small spot beneath, and a more or less distinct (varying in different specimens) marginal 

 series of very small spots. Posterior wings with the following white spots : — a submarginal series, of which 

 the upper three are the largest, and which with the fourth are placed singly between the nervules, and a 

 marginal scries which does not extend to apex. Head and thorax above blackish ; head and anterior portion 

 of thorax spotted with white. Abdomen dark fuscous, spotted with bluish beneath ; underside of bead 

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



Exp. wings, <? 72 millim. 



Hab. — Continental India ; Assam (Warwick, Brit. Mus.). — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (coll. 

 Dist.) ; Perak (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (colls. Moore and Brit. Mus.). 



I have not yet received a female specimen of this species, and both Felder and Butler 

 described male specimens. It appears to be almost confined to the Malay Peninsula, especially 

 if there should be any error in the locality of Assam as given by Mr. Warwick to the British 

 Museum. According to Smith, it is also found in Sumatra.*'
