Male. Wings above fuliginous-brown. Anterior wings with a black line crossing cell near base 

 and apparently continued between the median and submedian nervures, a dark brown spot crossing 

 centre of cell, the margins of which are black, and which is rounded and closed posteriorly; a somewhat 

 similar spot at end of cell ; two similarly margined spots obliquely, but not quite, crossing cell of posterior 

 wings ; a dark brown oblique fascia crossing disk, commencing near termination of cell (where there is 

 an indistinct bronzy area), and terminating on inner margin, about one third from base; this is followed 

 bv a somewhat narrower oblique fascia crossing both wings, commencing near ajjcx of anterior wings and 

 terminating on posterior wings near the abdominal margin at about one-third from anal angle : this 

 fascia is widened at inner margin of anterior wings ; posterior wings with a much-waved, narrow, dark 

 submarginal fascia, and outer margins of both wings distinctly darker. Wings beneath pale greenish 

 ochraceous : cellular markings as above ; anterior wings with a rounded spot beneath cell on inner side 

 of third median nervule and a smaller dark spot on outer side of that nervule ; posterior wings with 

 a looped spot beneath and near the base of costal nervure, followed by a smaller rounded spot beneath 

 the first subcostal nervule, and a curved black line beneath the base of second subcostal nervule ; fasciae 

 above very indistinctly and narrowly seen beneath. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Pale brownish ; cellular markings as in male ; anterior wings with a broad i)ale fascia, 

 occupying a space equivalent to that between the extreme margins of the two discal pale fasciae in male ; — 

 this fascia is pale, obscure, bluish above the second median nervule, and pale brownish beneath that 

 ner^Tlle, and its outer margin is brown and prominently waved and angulated : at costa it possesses an 

 irregularly shaped central, and a somewhat similar outer subolivaceous spot, the last almost continued 

 to apex above the fourth subcostal nervule ; posterior wings with fascite as in male, but which are paler 

 and narrower. Wings beneath as above but paler ; markings similar, but more indistinct ; posterior wings 

 with the outer-cellular markings as in male. 



Exp. wings, S By millim. ; 2 71 millim. 



Hab. — Continental India; Assam (Fekler). — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll. Liist.j ; 

 Malacca (Castelnau and Pinwill — Brit. Mus. ; Biggs — coll. Gosse). — Banca (Fekler). 



Tbis is l)ut a local race of tbe Javau E. alplifda, Godt.,* aud difi'ers principally in tbe 

 female sex. Mr. Butler, from an examination of Capt. Pinwill's collection, remarked tliat in 

 Malacca tbe "species appears to be common,"! but in Province Wellesley— judging from 

 collections — it appears to be a scarce insect.

\ Some confusion is likely to arise from a consultation of tbe original description of this species. Mr. Butler (Cist. Eut. 

 i. p. 29, 187(1) described a male specimen from Borneo and a female specimen from Penang under tbe above name, and 

 afterwards figured tbe first in his ' Lepid. Exot.' (t. Ix., f. 5). On subsecjuently receiving both sexes from Malacca, 

 he wrote (Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Zool. vol. i. p. .580), "I find that the male from Borneo figured in my ' Lepidoptera 

 Exotica' is a distinct species," thus electing to make the Tenaug female the type, of which tbe only description is— 

 " S • Omuino velut in Tancecia Pulasara colorat*. "
