The female diifers a great deal 

 from that of R. tliemis, the large 

 patch being entirely white in- 

 stead of yellow ; this patch is 

 tinged with blue towards the base. 

 On the inner margin the large 

 patch of bluish white extends 

 to the first median nervule and 

 almost unites with the large 

 white apical patch on the fore 

 wing. The red basal patch not 

 very distinct, but visible between 

 the median and submedian ner- 

 vules. The basal area, discoidal 

 cell, and hind margin black, the 

 latter being scalloped and show- 

 ing the white fringe between the 

 nervules very distinctly. 



The hind wing very dark 

 green, with one small red spot 

 at the base. The whole of the 

 central area yellow, and the 

 hind margin with a very broad 

 black border. 



The underside is very similar 

 to that of E. thetnis, Hiibn., but 

 is much paler and all the 

 markings and spots are very 

 distinct. 



Exp., J 3-25, 2 4-1 inches. 



The type is in the collection 

 of Mr. Philip Crowley. 



is much larger and distinctly 

 marked. 



The female is much blacker, 

 with a bluish patch on the inner 

 margin. Ifear the apical por- 

 tion of the fore wing is a large 

 yellow patch, bigger than in the 

 male. 



The hind wing has the central 

 area blue, with a broad black 

 border on the hind margin. The 

 red at the base of both wings 

 is visible, though rather smaller 

 on the hind wing. 



The underside is so exactly 

 like that of the male that it is 

 unnecessary to describe it.
