wing with the ground-colour purplish, covered with coarse black 

 mottlings ; the costa bears some whitish i mottling, as also does the inner 

 margin as far as the first median nervule. Hindwing has the basal-third 

 purplish coarsely mottled with black as in the forewing, crossed by 

 a broad ferruginous band parallel with the costa, extending from the 

 base of the wing to about the second-third of the costa from the base ; 

 the outer two-thirds of the wing white, also coarsely mottled with 

 black. Female. Upperside, both wings much paler than in the male, 

 the ground-colour being reddish-brown instead of black, the markings 

 similar. UndeesidEj both wings as in the male, but the ground- 

 colour and mottlings much paler. 



This species certainly belongs to the casiphone group, i?. casiphom, 

 Hlibner, having been recorded from Singapore by Butler (this habitat 

 requires confirmation I think), Java by Wallace, and E. and S.-E. 

 Mindanao in the Philippine Isles by Semper (the latter, however, has 

 been subsequently named E. casiphonides^ Semper, in Schmett. Philipp., 

 p. 350, n. 73 (1892). The male of E. erinyes differs from specimens 

 of the same sex of E, casiphone from Java in my collection in the 

 forewing being longer and immaculate, E. casiphone having numerous 

 large bluish-white spots on the disc. On the hindwing E. erinyes 

 is prominently striped with greenish- whitish, which is not the case 

 with E. casiphone. It is still nearer to E. kamara, Moore, from Java, 

 of which I possess both sexes from thence, the male of L. erinyes differ- 

 ing on the upperside of the hindwing in the streaks between the veins 

 being continuous and much longer, reaching almost to the median 

 nervure and extending into the discoidal cell ; in E. hamara the 

 streaks are very much shorter, and are strongly divided into two 

 portions. The female of E. hamara bears numerous spots and streaks 

 in the forewing on the upperside, while that sex of E. erinyes is 

 unmarked. 



Described from a male in my collection taken in the Battak 

 mountains in September, 1894, and a female in the collection 

 of Hofrath Dr. L. Martin. I have seen another male in Dr. 

 Martin's collection. I have figured the male of E. hamara on 

 PL Ti, Fig. 11, from a specimen in Dr. Martin's collection 

 from Java.
