Male and female of a uniform violet-brown above ; fore wings of a 
deep black, an angular black patch on the costa near the apex, a 
blackish sinuous transverse line at one fourth from the base; a

and outwardly diffuse, terminating in a faint outwardly curved sin- 
uous line ; marginal line brown ; cilia brown, whitish at the base. 
Hind wing with an antememedial blackish stripe, corresponding 
to the inner edge of the medial band of fore wing, a discal blackish 
stripe of the same nature with a short blackish shade immediately 
below it near the abdominal border; marginal line and cilia as in 
fore wings. 
Underside of a uniform pale brown, a faint spot at the end of each

Erisparis sora, Moore, MS. 
Body and wings above of a uniform rosy brown, irrorated with 
minute white atoms, very thickly so in some parts, giving the wing 
the appearance of being smeared with whitish, more especially 
towards the base and angles of both wings; fore wings with the 
costa broadly and irregularly ochreous, marked on the costal edge 
with white and brown ; orbicular represented by a dot, reniform by 
a pure white streak, inside of which is a yellow angular mark ; lines 
brown, faintly edged outwardly with white, first at one third from 
the base, dentated outwardly with two teeth, two zigzag sinuous 
lines rather close together beyond the middle, and a straight discal 
line from the hinder angle to the costa near the apex. 
Hind wing with only the double line, the outer one of which has 
two or three acute dentations opposite the produced angle of the 
margin ; cilia on both wings dark brown, prominent. 
Underside paler, white irrorations denser, making the outside of 
fore wings and nearly all the hind wings whitish ; fore wings with the 
black orbicular and white reniform very distinct, the discal line also 
distinct but slightly sinuous, and inside this is another sinuous 
almost straight line. 
Hind wing with a discocellular lunular mark and with the double 
discal curved sinuous line, the outer one of the two being regularly
