RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



of till' iiitrrnal lurvinc, whic-li, linwevev, it does not pass, nor does it reach the hind margin, which it 

 ai^iiroaches nearest above the anal angle. There is also a white band running obliquely across the tip 

 from beyond the middle of the costa to lieyond the submedian nervui-e, which divides it ; but this also does 

 not reach the wing margin. Hind wings white, with a In-oad border of the bluish-brown ground colour, not 

 sharply defined on the inner side. Underside brown, thickly mottled with pinkish-white, especially on the 

 portions corresponding to the white parts of the upper surface. A little below the costa, just above the 

 discoidal nervule, is a large slightly oval primrose-coloured spot, slightly paler round the edges."

E. (din'sa is allied to the Sumatran species E. siiniKfraiui, Wall., from which it differs by 

 the pale patch on the upper surface of the posterior wiugs, and by the subcostal stramineous 

 spot beneath. It is therefore also allied to E. prnaiuni, after which species I place it in this 

 enumeration. 



An unlocalised and unidentified specimen in the Hewitsonian collection is clearly the 

 female (described above) of this species, and also differs strongly from the corresponding sex 

 of E siiiiuttraua.

Female. Wings above greyisli-white ; 

 antei-ior wings with bluish reflections in cell 

 and pale ochraceous shadings on inner mar- 

 ginal area. Costal area more or less spotted 

 and marked with blackish, thickly so to end 

 of cell, and some similar markings in cell 

 along the median nervure, nervules orna- 

 mented with fuscous and blackish blotches— 

 the three median nervules and the lower dis- 

 coidal nervule most i^rominently so ; posterior 

 wings with the basal and abdominal areas more or less shaded with pale ochraceous, neuration with black 

 and fuscous blotches as on anterior wings, but less prominent, a blackish spot uniting the discoidal and 

 upper median nervules ; a submarginal series of irregularly shaped blackish spots, between which and 

 posterior margin are many fuscous and black irregularly shaped and placed linear spots. Anterior wings 

 as above, but more uniformly greyish, the shadings along neuration much more broken and unrelieved by 

 fuscous-brown, several curved black lines crossing cell ; posterior wings generally as above. 

 Exp. wings, 101 millim.

I am indebted to Herr Honrath for a very careful and beautiful drawing of this species, 

 which is here reproduced, and also for the loan of the blocks showing illustrations of the 

 antenna, palpus, anterior leg, and abdomen. 



As far as can be gathered from an examination of the neuration in the drawing, this 

 species is a true Eli/iintias, and is one of the most interesting and beautiful additions to our 

 knowledge of the genus.
