172 nymphalidjE. 



the outer third more sparsely covered with dark ferruginous, 

 somewhat broad, transverse striae. Eore wing with a broadly 

 triangular pale purplish-wbite preapical mark ; both fore and 

 hind wings with a broad subterminal area purplish white. Hind 

 wing with a small white spot opposite middle of the costa and a 

 more or less complete series of more obscure whitish subterminal 

 spots. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown ; abdomen 

 beneath paler. — 2 . Upper side tawny, veins black. Fore wing : 

 the dorsal margin broadly black ; the apical area beyond a line 

 curving from the tornus, round apex of the cell and a little beyond 

 it, to the base of the costa also black, the wing crossed preapically 

 by a conspicuous, broad, oblique white bar, and three subterminal 

 white spots. Hind wing : dorsal margin dusky ; terminal broadly, 

 costal margin more narrowly black ; a subterminal series of four 

 white spots. Underside tawny, with markings similar to those in 

 the o ; the pale whitish markings more extensive ; the dorsal 

 margin broadly without striae. 



Exp. cj 2 72-86 mm. (2-85-3'4"). 



Hab. The Himalayas, Mussoorie to Bhutan ; Lower Bengal ; 

 Central India ; Assam ; Burma and Tenasserim, extending to the 

 Malayan Subregion. 



The Burmese variety has been separated as E. tinctoria by 

 Moore. The differences, however, are very slight and very 

 variable, consisting chiefly in the size of the subterminal blue 

 markings on the upperside of the fore wing in the 6 , and in the 

 extent of black on the upperside of both fore and hind wing in 

 the 2 • 



Larva. " Elongate, fusiform, setose ; green with longitudinal 

 dorsal and lateral yellow lines, and a subdorsal row of yellow 

 elongated spots, which are centred with red and posteriorly edged 

 with blue ; head brownish, armed with two erect brownish setose 

 processes ; anal segment also with tw 7 o red slender hindward- 

 projecting processes." 



Pupa. " Similar to E. fraterna and E. caudata." (Moore.) 



Bace fraterna, Butler, is an insular representative of 

 E. undidaris. The 6 differs on the upperside in the more or less 

 complete absence of the subterminal and preapical blue markings 

 on the fore wing ; and in the broad terminal border of the hind 

 wing being of a much brighter, almost ochraceous chestnut. On 

 the underside the pale markings are somewhat restricted. The 

 male very closely resembles, both on the upper and under side, 

 the male of E. undidaris. 



Exp. <$ 2 70-82 mm. (2-75-3-2"). 



Hab. Ceylon. 



Larva. Very similar to the larva of E. undularis, head more 

 yellowish than brown. 



Pupa. " Green, with longitudinal yellow streaks bordered by 

 red streaks or spots ; head and thorax truncate in front, with 

 three short tubercles." (Moore.)
