  Allied 
  to 
  E. 
  transversa, 
  Walker, 
  from 
  Ceylon, 
  which 
  I 
  

   have 
  also 
  got 
  from 
  North 
  Kanara, 
  somewhat 
  similarly 
  

   marked 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  that 
  species 
  the 
  bands 
  are 
  thicker 
  and 
  

   closer 
  together, 
  and 
  the 
  large 
  bright 
  chrome-yellow 
  spots 
  

   on 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  are 
  absent. 
  This 
  insect 
  was 
  wrongly 
  

   identified 
  by 
  me 
  as 
  E. 
  malayana, 
  Guer., 
  m 
  P. 
  Z. 
  S., 
  

   1885, 
  p.

  It 
  comes 
  out 
  in 
  a 
  regular 
  swarm 
  on 
  the 
  

   top 
  of 
  the 
  Matheran 
  and 
  Khandalla 
  Mountains 
  for 
  about 
  

   a 
  week 
  every 
  cold 
  season,

  flies 
  by 
  day 
  and 
  night.
