(^ J . Nearly allied to E. antica ; the wings and thorax of the male cream-coloured, 

 the primaries and thorax of the female more cream-coloured than in E. antica ; the abdomen 

 in both sexes blacker, the anal tuft of the female brownish yellow. Expanse of wings, ^ 28

From the fact that the male is somewhat malformed and both sexes in poor condition 

 generally, it seems not unlikely that this form may turn out to be nothing more than E. antica 

 underfed ; the abdomen, however, is decidedly darker, nearly as black as in E. melanophila, 

 and the duller colouring of the anal tuft would appear to be a good distinctive character.

 Artasa sulphurescens, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 18S8, p. 399. 



Allied to C. dersa of Java and C. inconcisa of Darjiling. Primaries varying from pale 

 creamv sulphur-yellow to pale ochreous ; a few brown scales, indicating the commencement 

 of an oblique band, between the cell and inner margin of the male, wholly absent from the 

 primaries of the female : secondaries sericeous white, the abdominal area and fringe tinted 

 with the colouring of the primaries : thorax distinctly ochreous or pale yellowish white ; 

 abdomen greyish black, but the two or three basal segments of the male and all the segments 

 of the female covered above with pale buff or whitish hair ; the centre and edges of the 

 following segments in the male and the anal tuft ochreous. Under surface creamy white, 

 centre of venter purplish black, anal tuft ochreous. Expanse of wings, d 38-41 millim., ?
