Differs from E. numisma, Staud. (= ulicacea, Leech) in being 

 larger ; the median nervure is broadly white, the orbicular stigma is 

 smaller ; tlie postmedial line is interrupted with white towards the 

 costa, and lunulated towards inner margin ; from the black apical 

 patch, which is traversed by the white subniarginal line, there is a 

 transverse series of black dots preceded by a white band. The 

 secondaries are rather paler. On the under surface the colour and 

 markings are almost identical with those of E. numisvia.
