206 NYMPHALID/E. NYMPIIALIN.E. EUTIIALIA. 



In all the remaining species the sexes are differcnliated. In the first two in which the 

 males have the border grey or blue extending on to the forewing, the female has the ground- 

 colour pale brown throughout, with a straight dark band from the apex of the forewing to 

 the middle of the abdominal margin of the hindwing, and the outer margin of both wmgs is 

 suffused with the same dark brown colour ; they also have a discal series of hyaline spots on 

 the forewing, and the underside is bright ochraceous or orange yellow, dullest at the base, 

 and with no suffusion of bluish gray on the hindwing.

Habitat : Tenasserim. 



Expanse : ^,27 to 2'8 ; 9 , 3-1 to 3-2 inches, 



DescriptIuN : " Male. Upperside, dark brown. Forming projecting at the apex, as in 

 E. cocytHS [ = E. kpidrn]; marked in the cell by a black line and by two large pale spots border- 

 ed with black, by a spot and two short black lines below these, and by another pale, imde- 

 fined spot nearer the apex ; the outer margin, except at the apex, rufous-grey. Hindtohig 

 with the outer half of the same colour. Underside ochreous-yellow. Forewing with the 

 spots in the cell and a linear submarglnal band of brown. Hindiving with some scarcely-seen 

 spots before and after the middle. Female. Upperside, pale rufous-brown. Foreiving with 

 the spots in and below the cell as in the male, iiiarked beyond the middle by six transparent 

 spots, fixed in a transverse band, and one near the apex ; crossed near the outer margin from the 

 apex by a dark brown band, which is continued to the middle of the inner margin of the 

 hindidng : hindwing with two spots in the cell, and a series of submarginal lunular spots of 

 brown. Underside as above, except that it is orange-yellow, and that the submarginal baud 

 has its origin at a different part of the apex, and is not continued on the hindwing." 



" The female of this species very closely resembles A, apJiidas" [=the female of .£". tcU 

 ckinid]. (^Hcioitson, 1. c. in Ent. Month. Mag.) 



E, satropaces is also a very distinct species, with a limited geographical range, it 

 having been recorded from Tenasserim only. The type specimens were from Moulmein, 

 Limborg took it in April at Meetan, 3,000 feet, Dr. Anderson obtained three females in the 

 cold weather in the Mergui Archipelago, and Major Marshall has males taken by Captain 

 Bingham in the Thoungyeen Forests in December and in the Donat range in January. In the 

 male the apex of the forewing is more produced, there are two grey patches in the cell and one 

 beyond on the upperside, and the grey marginal band on both wings is broader and darker, 

 than in E. lepidea. The female is quite different, and may at once be known from that sex of 

 E. telchinia by having an additional transparent white spot beyond the discal series near the 

 apex of the forewing.

Habitat : Nepal, Sikkim, Cachar. 



Expanse : (J, 2 45 to 3-00 ; ? , 3*2 to 39 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside dark brown. Foreiuing with the costal half of 

 the wing paler, the cell crossed by a fine black line near the base reaching the sub- 

 exteriorly with pale blue, which is centred with a row of whitish spots. Underside dull ochreous, with whitish 

 b:inds and discoidal markings oi forewing only, as above." (Moo'C, 1. c.) 



Mr. Hutler gives the habitat of this species from both sexes in the British Musuem as above, and states that 

 iMoore described the " fem.ale as male," but when describing the species Mr. Moore speaks of a "female" only. 

 Judging from the outlme and style of markings of the figure however it appears fo be that of a female, but 

 Mr. Moore informs me tliat the type specimen is a male, and that the female is somewhat similar to the female 

 ol Zi. asoka, Fcldcr, and E. vaciltans, 13utlcr ; that both sexes are in the British Museum, and that he h.is not 

 seen others.
