Linnseus's specimen appears to have been somewhat different to 

 the normal form of E. midamus, 3 . He describes it as follows : — 



"Alis integerrimis nigris albido punctatis : primoribus supra cceru- 



lescentibus ; posticis punctorum alborum linea. 

 Corpus atrum punctis albis : alee atro-aerulescentes, posticee serie 



intra marginem e punctis albis, et alia serie interiore punctis ?na- 



joribus albis. Habitat in Asia." 

 This description agrees with the figure which he quotes (Act. 

 Stock. 1748, t. 6. f. 1, 2).
