 Thorax and abdomen bright chrome -yellow, unmarked. Antennae

 bright chrome-yellow for half the length from the base, with some

 macular bands, as in E. hellona, but broader. Hind wings yellow 

 for nearly two-thirds of the length from the base, with one large 

 blackish blue spot at the end of the cell and a smaller and indistinct 

 spot alongside, near the abdominal margin ; the yellow colour is 

 limited by a blackish blue band with a deep outer curve opposite 

 the large spot, followed by a broken iiTegular band of yellow, and 

 the outer portion of the wing blackish blue. Under side as above ; 

 tarsi of the male yellowish grey ; the female has, however, the legs 

 altogether of that colour. Expanse of wings, ^ J 2fjj in. 



Eangoon, April and May, 1886. In coll. Swinhoe. 



Differs from E. hellona, its nearest ally, in its 

 narrower fore wings, in having the thorax and abdomen 

 unmarked, in the pale spotted nature of the basal bands 

 in the fore wing, and the greater extent of yellow in 

 both wings. I have three males and one female before 

 me, which are all exactly alike.
