This species stands in the British Museum cabinet as the 

 E. core of Cramer, and is referred to as such in Mr. Butler's 

 monograph (P.Z.S. 1866, p. 276). It is allied to E. coreoides, 

 but differs from it in the shape of the wings, the fore wing being 

 broader, shorter in the hind margin, and more trigonal in 

 form ; the hind wing also is somewhat longer hindward and 

 less rounded on the outer margin. 



Euplcea asela. 



This is the Ceylon representative of E. core^ and differs 

 from typical specimens from India in the male and female 

 being above and beneath of a paler olive-brown, having both 

 rows of marginal spots very small, partly obsolete, and of an 

 olive-white colour, those on the hind wing also being smaller 

 and less prominent. 



Exp. 3f inches.
