﻿126 LEPIDOPTERA INDIOA. 



macular; basal marks slender, Forewing with the upper discal series of five spots 

 clear unsullied white ; the ajiex of forewing, and nearly the entire surface of the 

 hindwing being washed with pale greenish-grey, the apex and the outer border 

 partially, and the discal fascia on the latter showing the ground-colour. 



Expanse, o 2^% to 2^^, ? "^-ro to 3 inches. 



Habitat. — Lower Burma ; Tenasserim; Malay Peninsula ; S.B.Borneo. 



Note. — By the kindness of Mr, C. Ritsema, the Curator of the Entomological 

 Cabinet in the Leyden Museum, we are enabled to identify this species as the true 

 apicalis of Vollenhoven, from a coloured drawing of the upper and underside of the 

 type specimen. We have assigned, as the female of E. apicalis, the butterfly which 

 Mr, de Niceville (I.e.) erroneously — but with doubt — described as being that sex of 

 the E. Binghami. We have also examined and verified specimens of both sexes of 

 E. apicalis, as here described, taken in B. Pegu, by Mr. W. Doherty. As a corrobo- 

 ration, we may state, that the males of the two closely allied Philippine species, 

 namely E. Lusiada and E. Mindorana, described by Dr. Staudingei-, with which we 

 have compared E. apicalis, have similarly marked males and females. 



DiSTEiBUTioN. — Both sexes of this species, taken in the Karen Hills, E. Pegu, 

 in March and April by Mr. W, Doherty, are in Mr, P. Crowley's collection. The 

 female (described as E. Binghami, by Mr. de Niceville) was taken by Lieut.-Col. 

 Bingham in the Dallnat Range, Tenasserim. Mr. H. Dinice has a female taken in 

 the Thoungyeen forests, and a male, also from Thoungyeen, is in the British 

 Museum. Both sexes, from Perak, Malay Peninsula, and Borneo, are in Mr, 

 Walter Rothschild's collection, Mr, Distant (Rhop. Malay, pi. 37, fig. 7) also 

 records it from Malacca as Euth. Parta, which latter, however, is quite a distinct 

 species. Vollenhoven records the male type of apicalis from Borneo.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark purpuresceut-brown. Forewing with the outer 

 border palest ; basal black-lined marks indistinct ; with a broad transverse discal 

 and a submarginal very obscurely-defined blackish fascia, the latter being partly 

 confluent with the former from below the upper median veinlet. Hindwing from 

 the base to the disc blackish, the discal edge being sinuous, the outer margin 

 broadly bordered with a greenish-blue band,* which extends more or less broadly 



* 111 iome L'orueaii specimens this band is of more violescent-blue tint, and in a ilalacca example the 

 bluj colour aJ^o extents .slightly up the posterior end of the outer margin of the forewing.
