Possibly this species may be closely allied to E. midamus ; but at 

 present we only possess the male sex. Above very similar to E. amy- 

 mone (God.), but with the purple gloss scarcely distinguishable.

 letis indistinctisve ; posticce maculis submarginalibus continuis, serie

* I think it possible that if we had a large series of this insect it might prove 

 to be only a variety of the next species.
