LEPLDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 51 



menfasciis quinque apiceque luteis ; alee anticce fasciis duabus 

 obliquis abbreviatis luteis, la subfracta, gutta postica lineaque 

 exteriore guttulari albis ; posticce rufce, nigro marginatce, 

 fascia brevi lata nigra apud marginem interiorem, gutta 

 atomisque paucis submarginalibus albis. 



Female. Black. Head with a white dot behind and with a 

 white dot on each side before the base of the antennae; orbits of 

 the eyes white beneath. Palpi with two white bands. Thorax with 

 four white spots along the fore border. Abdomen with five broad 

 luteous bands ; tip mostly luteous. Fore wings with two oblique 

 irregular abbreviated luteous bands ; first band before the middle, 

 slightly dislocated, narrower in front ; second beyond the middle, 

 with a white clot near its hind end, and with a transverse line com- 

 posed of five white dots between it and the exterior border. Hind 

 wings red, irregularly bordered with black along the costa and along 

 the exterior border, near which there is a white dot and two or three 

 more hindward white speckles ; a short broad black band extending 

 from the interior border (near which it is narr rower) to the disk, 

 whence its connection with the costa is indicated by the dilated 

 border of the latter. Length of the body 10 lines; of the wings 

 32 lines. 



This is one of a transition series which contains E. vetula, 

 E. communicans, E. maculatrix, E. Bisma and E. bellatrix. In 

 E, communicans the white submarginal spots, which are wholly 

 wanting in E. vetula, begin to appear ; they are more prevalent in 

 E. maculatrix and still more so in E. Bisma. The latter species 

 and E. bellatrix are distinguished from the other three species by 

 the bluish marks near the base of the fore wings.
