spots on the fore wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 very dark brown, the head and thorax above and below very 

 sparsely speckled with white. 



Exp. 6 2 81-110 mm. (3-2-4-35"). 



Hah. Maldah (de Niceville) ; Cachar ; Arrakan ; Lower Burma ; 

 Tenasserim, extending into Siam, the Malay Peninsula, and Cochin 

 China. 



E. crassa is almost as variable as E. Jdugii. 



Var. masoni, Moore, is slightly darker in colour than typical 

 crassa ; subterminal series of spots in fore wing very incomplete, 

 commencing in interspace 4. 



Exp. S 2 92-102 mm. (3-6-4"). 



Hob. Recorded from Tenasserim. 



Var. macclellandi, Moore. — If, as Mr. de Niceville stated (t. c), 

 E. crassa is a mere race o£ E. Jdugii, then var. macclellandi forms 

 the link between the two. I have, however, ODly seen one 

 specimen, the type, which is now in the collection of the British 

 Museum ; the markings on this specimen resemble those on 

 E. Hugii, but as the blue gloss is confined to the basal portions of 

 the fore wing, I prefer to place E. macclellandi as a variety of 

 E. crassa. 



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



Hob. Recorded from Nowgong, Assam. 



Var. pembertoni, Moore. — The subterminal spots near apex of 

 fore wing very large, tinged with, purple. Often some discal 

 streaks and spots. Recorded from Lower Burma. 



Var. unifonnis, Moore. — Darker and of a more uniform brown 

 than the typical form, the subterminal and terminal spots very 

 small, often mere dots. Recorded from E. Bengal, Shillong 

 (Moore). 



Var. burmeisteri, Moore. — The subterminal row of spots in the 

 fore wing large, often coalescing with the terminal spots. Re- 

 corded from Tenasserim and Cochin China. 



Var. apicalis, Moore. — " Near to typical P. crassa, but of a 

 more greenish-olivaceous colour, contrasting distinctly thereby 

 with the brownish olivaceous of the typical form. Fore wing 

 with a complete row of marginal spots, the submarginal row- 

 composed of n>e apical spots only." (Moore.) Recorded from 

 Burma.
