anal angle, the next covering the discoidal space and a little hcyond, the third 
one runs parallel to these and is of similar extent. The first and third are 
covered with white or very light bine hairs, the central or second, one having 
scaling only. The hind margin is well dentated towards anal angle, the inter- 
spaces touched with white. Well within it is a line of bine scalings well broken 
by the nervnles, a continuation of the same markings of fore wing. Near 
upper angle betwixt this line and the outer one of the three ])rominent dashes, 
is a dash of blue scales, starting well below the costa and running a quarter inch 
downwards towards anal angle. 
Under side of fore wing black hut not as rich as upper surface. General 
markings the same. Basal blue area of u[)per surface is represented only by 
blue at base of costa and a blue diagonal dash beyond. The inner marginal 
area is dark mouse color except towards lower angle. The dashes of blue 
noted m the two lower interspaces of upper surface are wanting. 
Under side of hind wing black. The appearance of the wing is quite dif- 
ferent from upper surface as the ])rominent dashes of brilliant blue are quite 
altered. There are three hands, one starting at costa at base and e.xtending 
downwards until by a slight inward curve it strikes lowest suhmedian nervule 
about midway to lower angle ; the next band runs downwards from costa, 
practically the same in area and extent as the first, ending at centre of wing 
area at the end of discoidal space ; the third band rejwesents the hind marginal 
blue line of upper surface, but is much more prominent. Inner margin e<lged 
with brilliant blue. 
This species is very close to E. distans Herr. Schaff. and also E. pygmaleon 
Hew. The grouj) is open to much interesting future work for those who locate 
in its region.
