Mull'. Wings above oliviiccous-Iirown, (Lukcr aiul with somcwiiMt liri^'ht reflections at baso. Anterior 

 wings with a small white spot between tirst and second snbcostal ncrvnles ; a snbmarginal series of five 

 white and somewhat quadrate spots, with narrow, obscure, paler evanescent sui-roundings, placed between 

 the nervules, the first and uppermost one of which is situated between the third and fourth subcostal 

 nervules, and the lower one between the second discoidal and first median nervules ; of these the third is 

 the largest, and with the fourth and fifth more or less coalesce with a marginal series of smaller white 

 spots, which are placed in pairs between the nervules, becoming smaller towards posterior angle, and 

 (in the specimen descril)ed and figured) represented only by a single spot between first and second median 

 nervnles. Posterior wings with a pale ochraceous discoidal patch, extending through upper portion of 

 cell, and with a marginal and submarginal series of white spots. Wings beneath slightly paler than 

 above : anterior wings, in addition to the white spots between first and second subcostal nervules as 

 seen above, with two small white spots beyond end of cell on each side of lower discoidal nervule, and with 

 a larger spot of the same colour between second and third median nervnles ; the submarginal series are 

 much smaller, but with the pale evanescent surroundings appearing larger ; posterior wings marked as 

 above. Head and thorax above very dark fuscous ; head and anterior portion of thorax spotted with 

 white ; abdomen fuscous above, with the sides and under surface slightly paler ; head beneath, sternum, 

 and legs dark fuscous ; paljii, sternum, and immediate bases of wings spotted with white. 



Male with a short and somewhat obscure pseudo scent-gland or brand on anterior wings, between 

 third median nervule and submedian nervure.

It seems at least uncertaiu whether this species is not identical, and if so synonymic, with 

 E. erichsonii, Felder,* as so considered by Mr. Kirby.t Felder's habitats "India SeptentrionaHs, 

 Cochin," would also favour this view. Mr. Butler, however, has identified a closely-aUied form 

 as E. erichsonii, and as Felder has not figured his species, and his types are not easily accessible 

 for comparison, I have provisionally followed this view here and adopted Butler's name. 



It is probable that this species does not extend farther south than Quedah, from which our 

 collectors ol)tained a single specimen. I did not meet with it myself when collecting in Province 

 Welleslev, nor have I seen it in any collections from that district or Malacca.

Male. Wings above olivaceous-brown, darker towards base. Anterior wings with a small whitish 

 marginal spot, situate beneath third median nervule. Posterior wings with a pale coloured patch near 

 basal costal margin, which is almost entirely hidden by inner margin of anteriin- wings, and with a 

 marginal and submarginal series of white spots. Underside of wings a little paler than above ; anterior
