E. plesia Tum. (2s b). Tliis and the suc(^eeding few .species rccall Horisme in their ])attern and their plesia. 

 somewhat crenulate hindwings and may perhaps lie found to be really akin to the mortudta group ofthat genus; 

 l)ut they are not sufficiently crested, according to nur jaresent taxonomie .System, plesia differs structurally 

 from sqiiamuhitd in its considerably Inuger paljnis (about 2). (iisbornc.

 siender, rather regulär. I have only the $ before me and the original description refers also to this sex. Our 

 figure unfortunately does not bring out the sinuosity of the termen and of th(> ])ostnu'(lian line and thei-efore 

 makes a somewhat erroneou.s Impression. (Jisliornc.
