two-fifths hind margin, slightly oblique to behind M, angled 

 out at fold and behind SM' ; orbicular an orange round 

 spot with three or four black dots on it^ ringed by white 

 and, distally, by black; reniforra a similar black-dotted 

 orange spot, proximally ringed by white and black, distally 

 lost iu the postmedial white patch; cell between the stigmata 

 orange spotted with black ; a black streak on fold behind 

 the white medial patch ; postmedial line pi'oximally defined 

 by black at costa and behind M^ distally from costa to M^ 

 though only slightly between R^ and R" ; from costa at two- 

 thirds, slightly bent outward to R^, excurved to R^, inwardly 

 oblique to fold, then bent outward and waved to hind margin ; 

 three white spots defined by black on costa between post- 

 medial and subterminal lines; subtermiual line dentate on 

 the veins, bent outward on SC'\ defined by black between 

 the radials and slightly defined by orange on posterior half 

 of wing; fringe white, chequered with orange and black 

 between the veins. 



Hind wing pure white. 



Underside of both wings pure white, with slight green 

 spot on DC2; fore wing with costa to near apex yellow- 

 green, leaving a postmedial white dash defined on each side 

 by black ; a second black dash on distal side of it ; fringe

Marked much as in $ or more uniformly green ; some- 

 times with the white or the black markings much reduced. 

 Hind wing with the discal spot visible above and with a 

 more or less developed, curved postmedial line ; sometimes 

 also with a subterminal d;irk shade. Fore wing beneath 

 broadly green on costal and terminal areas, with larger 

 discal spot and traces of the dark postmedial shading

Belongs to Section ii. of Hampson. 



Superficially a good deal resembling E. barnsi, but can 

 easily be distinguished by the generally paler colouring of 

 tiiorax and fore wing, by the white patches behind costa 

 and M (these, however, are absent in some $ $ of pi-ctsi nodes), 

 by the whiter hind wing and under surface (in c?), by the 

 shape of the orbicular and colouring of the stigmata, by 

 the tooth on subterminal line behind R^ and absence of 

 V-shaped angle, as well as by the difference in the antenna. 



The larva was figured by Mr. Dolman, with the acconi-
