ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN BUTTERFLIES. 265 



fascia of the forewing reduced to a series of seven black dots 

 between the veins in the hind wing. Female. Upperside, both 

 wings shining pale brown, with the usual narrow black markings in 

 and about the discoidal cells. Forewing with a discal broad band some- 

 what paler than the ground-colour from the costa to the inner margin, its 

 inner edge highly irregular, its outer edge bounded by a nearly evenly 

 disposed series of blackish lunulated spots ; a discal series of five more 

 or less rounded sullied whitish spots placed three and two ; these spots 

 are variable in size, being larger in some specimens than in others, but 

 are always rather small ; the three anterior ones are close together, 

 divided only by the veins, the fourth and fifth spots in the median 

 interspaces further apart, the anterior one of these the larger. Hind- 

 wing with an even inner discal fascia, its inner edge diffused, its outer 

 edge regularly scolloped; an outer discal series of small round black spots. 

 Underside, forewing pale ochreous-brown ; the five discal spots of 

 the upperside clear white (not sullied), more prominent than above, 

 and placed on a dark brown fascia ; the usual discoidal markings ; an 

 outer discal series of round black spots, the posteriormost one much 

 larger than the others ; the disc more or less washed with bluish- 

 purple, bat this is variable in extent. Hindwing with the usual 

 discoidal black markings ; a prominent outer discal series of eight 

 small round black spots ; almost the entire surface of the wing shining 

 pale bluish-green, what may be considered to be the pale brown 

 ground-colour being reduced to an inner discal fascia from the costal 

 nervure to the first median nervule, broader in some specimens than in 

 others, and a marginal band, also variable in width, from the costa 

 (where it is widest) to the anal angle (where it is reduced to a point). 

 Body of the male black above, pale brown beneath ; of the female 

 pale brown above, whitish beneath. Antennas black above, the club 

 and shaft beneath ferruginous. 



This species is evidently very close to E. zichri, Butler,* from 

 Sarawak, Borneo, from which it differs, as far as the description goes 

 in the male sex, in having on the upperside of the hindwing five 

 instead of three black spots on the outer bronzy portion, and on the 

 underside in having a prominent green spot at the apex of the forewino- 

 and a large area in the hindwing (fully one-third of the surface)
