metallic greenish-blue, that colour being apparently entirely absent 

 from E. zichri. The female of E. zichri does not appear to have ever 

 been described. Mr. Distant describes * and figures E. zichri from 

 Malacca in the Malay Peninsula ; that specimen differs from Mr. 

 Butler's description of the species, but agrees with E. binghamii, in 

 having five black spots on the upperside of the hindwing, but differs 

 from E. binghamii and also from the Bornean type of the species in 

 having the underside entirely ochreous-brown without any bluish 

 coloration whatever. I am not quite sure that I have correctly sexed 

 E. binghamii. In all cases in which the sexes differ as greatly as 

 they do in the present species, there is, when the species is newly 

 discovered and not much is known about it, a little uncertainty regard- 

 ing the correct pairing. Should it be hereafter discovered that the 

 opposite sexes belong to different species, I would prefer the name 

 E. binghamii to be applied to the male. The female of E. binghamii 

 is not at all unlike on the upperside some specimens of E. garuda, 

 Moore, but the great extent of the blue coloration on the underside will 

 instantly distinguish it. The latter feature is characteristic of 

 E. aiphiones, Butler, which is a local race of E. appiades, Menetries, but 

 the acuminate apex to the fore wing will at once separate E. binghamii 

 from the females of all the various forms of E. appiades. 



Described from a single male and five females in my collection. 

 I name the species in honour of my friend Lt.-Col. C. T. Bingham, 

 Conservator of Forests, Tenasserim Circle, who has done so much good 

 work amongst the Aves, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera of Burma.
