<5 2 • This form very closely resembles E. core, Cramer, var. 

 vermiculata, Butler (p. 32), but the tf lacks the secondary sex-mark 

 on the fore wing ; the white spots on the wings in both sexes, 

 especially the subterminal series, are extraordinarily large ; the 

 spots opposite the apex on the fore wing are elongated inwardly. 

 Ground-colour of both wings darker than in E. core. 



Exp. S 2 80 mm. (3'15"). 



Hab. Eecorded so far only from the Sundarbans below Cal- 

 cutta. 



The types 3 and $ , the only specimens I know of, are in the 

 British Museum. They were presented by Col. Swinhoe.

S . Fore wing somewhat as in fig. 9 A (p. 23), but less decidedly 

 subquadrate. $ . Fore wing as in fig. 9 C, but apex more rounded, 

 less produced. Hind wing in both sexes broadly ovate. Upper- 

 side: from light somewhat yellowish brown to dark brownish black, 

 costa of hind wing broadly paler. Fore wing : a spot in apex of 

 cell, sometimes absent in the S , a curved discal series of seven 

 spots present only in the 2 ■> i n the S reduced to a spot in inter- 

 space 3 and a minute costal dot, a subterminal series of large 

 oval spots, curving inwards opposite apex of wing — the spot in 

 interspace 6 the largest — and a terminal series of much smaller 

 spots, white. Hind wing with more or less incomplete subterminal 

 and terminal rows of white spots. Underside similar, paler, with 

 in the fore wing of S an additional white spot at the apex of the 

 cell and at bases of interspaces 3 and 4 ; in the hind wing of 

 both sexes a spot at apex of cell and a discal series of five or 

 six spots beyond. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark 

 brown ; the head and thorax beneath, and the abdomen at the sides, 

 marked and spotted with white. 



Exp. S 2 84-100 mm. (3-3-3-95"). 



Hab. Eecorded so far only from Tenasserim, extending to the 

 Malay Peninsula. 



Race biseriata, Moore, seems confined to the Mcobars, and 

 differs from E. bremeri in the white spots on the wings being much 

 smaller and more restricted.
