E. umbriel, Doherty, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lviii, pt. 2, p. (1889). 
HapitaT: Myitta, Tenasserim Valley, Burma, 
EXPANSE: 6, °95 of an inch. 
DESCRIPTION: “MALE. UPPpeERSIDE, J0/h wings black. Cilia of the forewing 
anteriorly black, whitish at the lower angle, of the hindwing whitish, except at the ends 
of the veins where it is black. UNDERSIDE, o/h wings grey-white (much whiter than in 
E. kala, de Nicéville) ; with the following blackish markings, the discal ones quadrate :;— Fore- 
wing with a streak across the end of the cell, a broad straight transverse discal band, inwardly 
dislocated below the second median nervule, the lower part outwardly oblique ; outer margin 
widely dark, containing an inner lunular and an outer slender straight whitish fascia. /indwing 
with a large subcostal, a smaller cellular, and a minute abdominal spot, all near the base ; a streak 
across the end of the cell, and a broad discal transverse band broken into four quadfate masses, 
of which only the upper two touch each other, the first covering two interspaces, the second 
(strongly dislocated outwardly) covering three interspaces, the third (nearer the base, obli- 
que) covering two interspaces, and the fourth being a small lunule between the submedian and the 
internal nervures ; outer margin broadly dark, containing a row of whitish lunules (the subanal 
one orange) surrounding black spots, of which the two subanal ones are touched with metallic 
green; a whitish submarginal and a black marginal line, both very slender.” Ci/ia of the 
forewing outwardly black, inwardly narrowly white, becoming entirely white towards the anal 
angle ; of the hindwing almost entirely white, just touched with black at the ends of the veins. 
Tail black, the tip white. 
“ The broad broken quadrate discal bands of the underside easily distinguish this peculiar 
species from £veres kala, which has rows of round black spots instead. The type specimen of 
E, kala is in my opinion a male, so that these two species have wholly lost the usual blue 
colour of their allies, in this resembling Zveres myseus, Guérin. That species, which seems 
also to occur near Myitta (though I did not capture any) differs slightly from the typical 
£veres in having the disco-cellular nervules of both wings meeting at a perceptible angle, but 
itseems scarcely worth while to retain the genus (7Za/icada, Moore) which has been founded 
on it.” (Doherty, 1.c.) With reference to this last remark, from my bleached examples of 
both species, I do not find that there is much difference in the angle at which the disco- 
cellular nervules of both wings meet. 
E. umbriel certainly looks much more distinct from Z. fischeri than does £. kala, 
but like that species it has the metallic greenish speckles at the anal angle of the hindwing 
below, which my species lacks. The coalescing of the discal spots of the underside is pro- 
bably an aberrational character, as pointed out above by Mr. Leech in Z. fscher?, and it is 
on these markings that Z, wbriel has chiefly been founded. It will probably be found to be 
a synonym of &. fischeri on an examination of a large series from Burma, 
Genus 118.—NACADUBA, Moore. (PLATFs XXVI and XXVII). 
Nacaduba, Moore, Lep. Cey., vol. i, p. 88 (1881) ; id., Distant, Rhop. Malay., p. 218 (1884). 
“* FOREWING, triangular ; cosfa regularly arched, [afex sometimes rounded, sometimes 
very acute], exterior margin slightly convex, [sometimes straight], fosterior margin straight ; 
costal nervure extending to half length of the margin, bent upwards to the costa near its 
end ; first subcostal nervule emitted at one-third before the end of the discoidal cell, short, 
fascia, a submarginal greyish-margined fascia, and a small subcostal greyish-margined spot on the inner 
side of the second discal fascia. Hindwing with three discal greyish-margined fasciz, the first shortish 
at the end of the cell, the second longest and reaching the second median nervule, the third commencing 
at that nervule, its inner margin connected with the outer margin of the first ; two greyish-margined spots 
at base, one in and one beneath the cell; beyond the outer fascia is a greyish lunulate line, and a marginal 
series of greyish-bordered spots, the spots between the two lower median nervules broadly margined inwardly 
with reddish-ochraceous, and a small ochraceous spot at anal angle; two black grey-margined subcostal spots, 
Sody and /egs more or less concolorous with wings.’ (Distant, |. c.) 
The figure and description of this species agrees minutely with specimens of Catoch7ysops strabo, Fabricius. 
Iam strongly of opinion that it is that species, but cannot be sure without seeing the unique type specimen, 
From the figure it has all the appearance of a Catochrysop~s, none whatever of any Zve7¢s known to me,
