at basal half, and this white is continued on the thorax between 
second and third pairs of legs; a white inner-marginal area as far as 
from near base to median line, white scaling of post-medial band also 
further extended. 
2. Fore-wing less produced at apex, ocellus rounder and broader ; 
green terminal area broader; apical black ocellus a little larger. 
Hind-wing with ocellus broader and rounder, nearly circular ; 
yellow sub-terminal line broader and spots following it larger. 
Under-side: fore-wing with medial line directed to medial line of 
hind-wing and both bordering on the ocelli; white post-medial line 
well outside the ocelli of both wings; abdomen terminating in a 
white patch. 
This species differs from #. mythimnia in the fore-wing being more 
faleate and the tornus being less rounded; ocellus less prolonged, 
hardly concave on side of anal angle; white inner-marginal band 
extended towards tornus becoming confluent with the white post- 
medial band, which passes through the ocellus in #. vera and not 
beyond the ocellus as in &. mythimnia; the apical black ocellus is 
smaller in the last species and the blue crescent mark forms part of 
the circle, while in H#. vera it makes the ocellus more oval; the post- 
medial white sprinkling is extended further in #. mythimnia and its 
ground-colour of both wings is more dull; there is also a difference in 
the dentition of the sub-terminal lines of both species. Hind-wing of 
E. vera more rounded, less prolonged at anal area ; no sub-basal white 
band, but instead the whole medial area is white; the ocellus is 
larger and well rounded, not angular as in Z. mythimnia, while the 
rings around the hyaline patch is totally different in colour and 
position ; the post-medial white band is a continuation of the one on 
the fore-wing, runs well against the black ring of the ocellus, is not 
angled outwards between veins 2 to 4 and is hardly angled inwards 
between vein 2 and anal angle; white post-medial sprinkling is not 
extended till yellow line; sub-terminal black patches are better 
defined and the black sub-terminal line is more indented, thinner and 
sharper in 2. vera; the peculiar semi-transparent sub-terminal spots 
on hind-wings are absent in /. mythimnia, in fact they are not 
mentioned in any other species of Hpiphora; colour of head, legs, 
antenne and terminal abdominal patch is capucine yellow (III) in 
E. mythimnia, not old gold as in #. vera. Under-side of both wings 
of #. vera have more white. 
The cocoon is suspended from the branches by a long silky stalk, 
and not fixed sideways to a branch as in £. mythimnia,
