 series of more rounded white spots. 

 Underside paler brown, the white 

 spots larger, more clearly denned. 

 Fore wing not violaceous at apex, a 

 spot (sometimes absent) in apex of 

 cell, and two or three discal spots. 

 Hind wing : a spot in apex of cell, 

 also sometimes absent, and a discal 

 series of five small spots beyond. 

 Antenna?, head, thorax and abdo- 

 men very dark brown, and, the an- 

 tennae excepted, sparsely spotted 

 with white. 



Exp. 6 2 82-108 mm. (3-25- 

 4-25").

<S 2 - This form was originally described from Siam. It closely 

 resembles E. godarti, Lucas, but the base of the fore wing is faintly 

 suffused with blue, there is no violaceous-white patch at apex, and 

 the spots are more obsolescent than in typical E. godarti. Super- 

 ficially it also resembles E. core race asela, Moore, from Ceylon, but 

 in the <5 the brand on the fore wing is broader and the dorsal 

 margin of that wing distinctly more convex. 



Exp. 6 2 88-100 mm. (3-5-3-95"). 



Hob. Burma ; Tenasserim ; Siam. 



The types of Moore's Mahintha subdita are in the British 

 Museum, and after careful comparison I am unable to find any 

 valid distinction between them and the types (also in the British 

 Museum) of E. layardi. Dr. Friihstoffer has, I believe, suggested 

 that Mahintha subdita, Moore, is a dimorph of E. godarti. Cer- 

 tainty on this point can only be obtained by experiments in 

 breeding the insects.

S 2 - Shape of wings much as in E. godarti, Lucas, but tornus 

 of fore wing still more rounded. Upper side : wings at base warm
