EPICOPEIA. 47 
The E. philoxenea of Moore is a third species of this section of the genus, which, though 
it has the secondaries quite as much elongated, does not possess the deeply excised outer 
margin between the median branches. 
Epicopeia lidderdalii. (Plate LX XXVIII. fig. 6.) 
6. Allied to EL. diphilea: primaries the same; secondaries with the concavity between 
apex and caudal angle longer, the process at the extremity of the second median branch 
shorter ; the white patch subquadrate, nearest to the outer margin between the second and 
third median branches, but considerably further from it than in EL. diphilea; a bright carmine 
fasciole between the first median branch and the extremity of the submedian vein ; two submar- 
ginal carmine spots upon the median interspaces. Below, all the rose-coloured markings are 
replaced by much more slender bright carmine markings, and the white patch differs as above. 
Expanse of wings 4 inches 9 lines. 
Bhotan (Lidderdale). 
Epicopeia maculata. (Plate LXX XVIII. fig. 7.) 
6. Allied to H. philenora, but the secondaries above with a bifid creamy-white patch 
speckled with red on the nervures, crossed by the third median branch ; no carmine spot above 
the abdominal excision, otherwise quite similar: secondaries below with the white patch as 
above, and with a bifid carmine spot divided by the first subcostal branch, and placed between 
the ordinary subcostal carmine spot and the white patch. Other characters like EH. philenora, 
excepting that the outer margin of primaries is less convex, and the concavity between the 
apex and the caudal angle is deeper and shorter. Expanse of wings 4 inches 9 lines. 
Bhotan (Lidderdale). 
In its characters this species is intermediate between the preceding and E. philenora ; 
it, however, seems to be decidedly more nearly allied to the latter species. 
Epicopeia caudata. (Plate LXXXVIII. fig. 8.) 
Darker than any known species : primaries dull black, with velvety-black basicostal area, 
veins, internervular folds, and outer margin : secondaries unusually elongated, the concavity 
between the apex and the caudal extremity almost obsolete, the extremity itself narrower, 
and therefore more caudiform than usual; three elongated white spots, of which the central 
one is considerably the longest, divided by the second and third median branches; a small 
carmine dash above the abdominal excision, and two small submarginal spots on the median 
interspaces: body, as usual, black, with carmine head, collar, and anus ; abdomen shot with 
dark green. Primaries below grey, with the velvety-black markings as above; a large costal 
carmine patch at basal third of costa: secondaries black, shot with dark green; the markings 
of the upper surface somewhat expanded, the white spots confluent and forming a large patch,
