Habitat. — Tenasserim, Lower Burma. 



Dr. Rogenhofer, the Custodian of the Vienna Museum of Zoology, has kindly 

 favoured us with a coloured drawing of the type specimen of Felder's E. Harrisi, of 

 which the illusti'ation on our plate 62, fig. 1, is a copy. Specimens of this species 

 had previously been identified as representing E. Grotei of Felder, an erroneous 

 identification which arose from Felder having erroneously figured the female of our 

 present species {Harrisi) as representing that sex of the E. Grotei. The male of the 

 latter named species (Grotei) is described as possessing only one sexual mark on 

 the forewing. 



DiSTfiiBUTiON. — This species has been taken in Moulmein in June. Mr. Otto 

 Limborg (P. Z. S. 1878, 824) took it in Upper Tenasserim, at Ahsown, above 

 Ahsown, and from Hatseiga to Houngdui'an. " Capt. C. T. Bingham obtained 

 numerous siDecimens in the autumn in the Thoungyeen forests" (Butt. Ind. 92). 

 It has been taken in the Mepley Valley in October. Major C. H, B. Adamson 

 (Notes on the Danainge of Burma (1889), p. 14) records the capture of one male at 

 Mepley in February, one male in June at Moulmein, and four males and two females 

 in July at Hpa An, all in Tenasserim. These are the only specimens taken of this 

 rare insect, and it does not appear to extend further north than the Tenasserim 

 district. Its caudal appendages are light brown. Messrs. Elwes and de Niceville 

 (J. A-. S. Beng. 1887, 416) notice the capture of several specimens at Tavoy and 

 Sinbyoodine. Di*. J. Anderson (J, Linn. Soc. Zool. 188G, 31) records its capture iu 

 the Mergui Archipelago in " December aod Januai-y."
