156 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



forewing tlian in typical Zetliera (Z. pimplea of Erichson, Nova Acta Acad. Nat. 

 Cur. 1833, tab. 50, fig. 5), the costa is more arched, the apex hardly rounded, the 

 exterior margin less oblique and the posterior margin longer. The hindwing in 

 Euploeamima is also longer, the exterior margin considerably more rounded and 

 less scalloped. In the forewing the cell is longer, and broader; the discocellulars 

 more outwardly oblique ; the cell in the hindwing also much longer, and the dis- 

 cocellular much more oblique.

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside dark purpurescent-brown. Foreiuing 

 with a submarginal series of seven small bluish-white (sometimes olivescent-white) 

 spots, which decrease in size towards the costa ; a marginal row of much smaller 

 spots disposed in pairs between the veins, and usually a trace of an inner marginal 

 row of lunular spots ; the submarginal spots are either all rounded in shape, or the 

 lower are cordate and the upper are excavated on the outside, and the outer marginal 

 row are also either oval or irregularly triangular in shape. Hindwing with a sub- 

 marginal series of six prominent, larger, oval, similar coloured spots, of which the 

 second and third lower are the largest, and the upper the smallest ; an inner and 

 outer marginal row of smaller prominent spots, disposed in pairs between the veins, 

 of which the inner row are somewhat triangular in shape and laterally opposed to 

 each other, the outer row being narrower and more linear in form. Underside 

 exactly as above. Sody dark brown ; sides of head and of the palpi white. Abdomen 

 beneath pale ochreous-brown. 



Expanse, 3 to 3^ inches. 



Habitat. — Upper Tenasserim, 



Distribution. — The type specimens were taken by Mr. Otto Limborg, during 

 the expedition of 1876-7 to Upper Tenasserim, at Taoo, 3000 to 5000 feet elevation, 

 and at Moolai 3000 to 6000 feet. Capt. C. T. Bingham also took it in March, April, 

 and May, and again in the autumn, in the upper and lower Thoungyeen forests in 

 Upper Tenasserim. 



Allied Indo-Malayan Species. — The Eev. TV. F. Holland has described and 

 figured (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 1887, 113, pi. 1, fig. 1) an allied species from the 

 Island of Hainan under the name of Euj^L Eenrici, which he says differs from 

 E. diademoides in that the submarginal band of the forewing has seven spots instead 

 of six, and that there is another band of four white spots crossing the apex of the 

 forewing, transversely between the submarginal band and the cell.
