 ochraceous, the latter fringed ; tarsal joints with white tips. Fore 

 wings with a few diffuse patches of pale metallic-blue scales; two 

 white basal dots ; three luteous spots and two much-abbreviated 

 luteous bands ; first spot subcostal, near the base ; second behind 

 the first band; third behind the second band; fringe white at the

The shorter wings, the fewer and smaller luteous marks of the 

 fore wings and the more regular black border of the hind wings 

 distinguish it from E. Euphemia.
