at tlie apex. Hindwing similarlj^ marked, the ground colour distally 

 soraesvhat paler. The space between the two antemarginal lines in 

 interspaces 2 and 3 and part of 4, orange, with two large black metallic 

 spots bearing a few metallic scales in 2 and 3. A discal row of six 

 grey spots commencing in ] c rather near the margin, the second spot 

 set inwardly in 2 followed by three running directly towards the apex, 

 the sixth spot again set decidedly inwards. Four white-edged black 

 spots : one each distally in 1 b and 7, one centrally in the cell and the 

 fourth also in area 7 basally some way before the middle. 



2 IJpperside : uniformly dark grey-brown without any trace of 

 blue. Hindwing with darker marginal spots in areas 2 and 3 proxim- 

 ally surmounted by orange lunules distally white-edged ; indications of 

 similar spots in 4 and 1 c. Fringes darker than in d. Underside 

 exactly like that of the <S except that the orange-coloured area ia 

 very slightly larger, extending into 1 c, the enclosed black spots being 

 also slightly larger. 



Types 1 cT, 1$, Bangkok, Feb. 1912, in the British Museum. 



A second c5' in the British Museum from Hinlap ( H. Fruhstor- 

 fer ) * differs in being brighter, the dark margin broader, and the orange 

 lunules on the hind wing fully developed. The underside has a decided, 

 though very slight, brownish tinge. The upperside of both 6 and 9 of 

 this species bears a considerable resemblance to that of B. dipora Moore ; 

 it is readily distinguished from that species, however, by the underside 

 which agrees very closely with that of i?. parhasiun Fabr. In the latter 

 species, however, the spot in tlie cell and the distal one in area 7 are 

 equidistant from the proximal one in area 7, whereas in IL rileyi the 

 distal spot in area 7 is much further away. Apart from this, the 6 of 

 E. parhasius is much paler and the female haa a considerable amount 

 of blue on the ujiper surface.
