This species is closely allied to E. chloris, Cramer. The male 

 differs in having the outer margin of the front wings less sinuated, 

 being of a duller and darker colour, with the hind wings longer and 

 more broadly suffused with blue ; on the underside the ocelli are 

 larger and nearer to the outer margin, the second one being placed 

 very near the margin, as in E. herse, Cramer ; and the central bands 

 are orange. The female is of a brighter colour above, with the mar- 

 ginal lines less distinct ; below the differences are the same as in the 

 male.

The specimen referred to in the 'Genera' as in the Britisli Museum 

 is probably the female of chloris, which, however, is not the insect 

 intended by Cramer ; his figure more nearly resembles E. agatha, 

 but is quite distinct from it.
