 History," Ser. (j, Vol. XL, page 216 (March, 1893). 



Exp. 2J inches. 



Male. Upperside. Olivaceous green. Anterior wings crossed beyond the 

 middle from the costal to the submedian nervures by a pale greenish-yellow 

 band irrorated with dusky scales, widest on the costa, narrowest between the two 

 upper median nervules ; a small yellowish somewhat elongate spot near the costal 

 margin and a larger oval spot of same colour beneath it, at the outer edge of the 

 band ; the space between and on each side of the dark bars which cross the cell 

 is also pale greenish yellow. Posterior wings with a pale greenish-yellow curved 

 band, following the contour of the outer margin, from the middle of the costa, 

 gradually narrowing and becoming obsolete towards the lowest median nervule ; 

 an oval dark ring crossing the cell, and an indistinct submarginal row of dark 

 olivaceous green subconical spots, becoming obsolete towards the anal angle. 



Underside. Olivaceous vellow. On the anterior wings the yellowish-oreen 

 band is more clearly defined and edged on each side with black, narrowly towards 

 the costa, gradually and irregularly becoming broader towards the submedian 

 nervure, where it ceases. Posterior wings with the pale greenish-yellow curved 

 band as above, bordered on each side with olivaceous green, the space round the 

 spots in the cell and on the outer margin being the same colour as the central 

 band.

Nearest to E. Omeia, Leech, which it somewhat resembles in colour, but the posterior wind's 

 are very different.
