triangle, the one in the second median interspace and the 

 one below the lower branch of the median, the spot in 

 fche first median interspace being outside the line. The 

 middle one of these last three spots is as large as the one 

 in the cell, but is not so much constricted in the middle ; 

 the upper is next in size, and the lower one is small. 

 The anteapical series consists of three quadrate, white, 

 hyaline spots, with a white spot next the costa. Hind 

 wings without spots, but with some brown clouding in 

 the middle. Fringes pale gray, brown at the base, cut 

 with brown at the ends of the veins on the fore wings. 



Under side as in E. Pylades, except that there is more 

 gray on the hind margin of the fore wings, and the white 

 spots are larger than in that species, being a little larger 

 than on the upper side. Body and head above concol- 

 orous with the wings ; below grayish, the head and palpi 

 whitish.

 towards the posterior angle by a yellow band of spots, 

 consisting of the same spots as are found on E. Bathyllus. 

 The spot in the cell and the one in the second median in- 

 terspace are greatly enlarged, so as to be nearly or quite 

 quadrate ; the others also are enlarged, but not to the 

 same extent. Beyond this band there is the usual ante- 

 apical row of four spots, the fourth a little out of line,
