obliquely outwards, thence parallel to the outer margin, ending at the snbmedian nervure ; the 

 outer band sharply defnied, springing from a black apical oblong patch, and ending on the 

 submedian nervure, the space between the two bands paler, especially anteriorly, than the 

 i;iound, and bearing a series of sagittate marks between the veins, the upper one in the 

 subcostal interspace alone being prominent, the rest always obscure, sometimes obsolete ; 

 the outer margin difTuscdly black. Himhving with an oval black-lined spot at the base 

 of the cell, another closing the cell, and with other small black markings around it ; the 

 two discal bands as in the forewing. Underside, foi-ewing ochreous, the basal half of 

 the costa and the base of the wing greyish blue ; the markings as above, bat the space 

 between the discal bands anteriorly whitish, the outer band often with whitish lunules 

 placed inwardly against it ; a whitish diffused spot at the apex. Himbving washed through- 

 out with greyish blue, except the area beyond the inner discal band to the margin from 

 the costa decreasingly towards the anal angle which is ochreous ; markings as on 

 upperside, an additional long oval black ring-spot in the subcostal interspace. Mr. Moore's 

 figure of the female shows the apex of the forewing to be more produced than in any 

 si)ecimen I have seen. 



E. jahiin does not appear to be a very rare species. I have taken both sexes in Sikkim, 

 in October ; it occurs also in Assam, Sylhet, Cachar, Chiltagong and Upper Tenasserim, 

 whore Liinborg obtained it at Ilatsiega and Taoo, 3,000 — 5, coo feet ; in Major Marshall's 

 collection also are males taken in March, and in the autumn in the Thoungyeen forests, and 

 females in the Donat range in April, in the Thoungyeen forests in March and April, and at 

 Meplay in January, all by Captain C. T. Bingham. 



The next two species have a broad irrorated greyish discal band across both wings, 

 diffused on a blackish groiuid in the males, defined with dusky lines on a brown ground in 

 the females ; the females are very similar to those of the two preceding species ; but on the 

 imderside the bluish suffusion of the hindwing is more restricted, being usually confined to the 

 abdominal third of the wing.

Description: "Male. Upperside, dark dusky brown, powdered across the disc with 

 green [the powdering would be better described as grey or whitish]. Underside yellowish- 

 ochreous, more dusky about the margins, with black discoidal marks ; two indistinct 

 transverse blackish lines across the disc; below discoidal cell oi foreioitig a small patch of 

 black [a white spot on the inner band in second median interspace]. Female. Upperside 

 olive-brown. Forezving with a transverse row of irregular [white] spots, the first and second 

 long, third shortest, fourth and fifth equal, but not so long as the two first, all indented on 

 their outer margin, with the point inwards. Hindiving with two blackish transverse zig-zag 

 lines. Discoidal marks blackish. Underside ochreous, dusky about the margins. Fore- 

 zuing marked as in upperside, but with some suffused white at the apex, and a small patch 

 of black below the discoidal cell, and another near the posterior angle. Himhvitig with the 

 transverse zig-zag lines tinged with whitish within ; broadly from the base of wing along 

 abdominal margin to anal angle greenish-grey. Discoidal marks black." (^Moore, 1. c ) 



E. kesava is a very distinct species, and like E. anosia has the upperside powdered 

 with grey, this powdering hov/ever being confined in the forewing to a broad discal band, 

 broader on the hindwing, and almost reaching the outer margin towards the anal angle ; 



* Mr. Moore at this date considered that his description and figure of E. kesava applied to the " male only," 

 he writer me now, however, that his figures of both sexes of this species " are quite correct." I take this 

 opportunity of thanking him for writing to luc very fully uii the various disputed poiuts> regarding the opposite 

 sexes of many of the .species of ihc genus.
