terminal narrow green band and terminal ochraceous lunules. 

 Tails black touched with smalt-blue ; above tornal angle a black 

 line from vein 1 to dorsum. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 black ; thorax and abdomen on the sides and beneath whitish. — 

 2 . Differs very slightly from the $ ; but can be distinguished at 

 once by the greater width of the transverse discal baud, and also 

 by the two spots above it being larger and joined on to the band. 



Exp. 6 2 92-116 mm. (3-62-4*58"). 



Bab. South India ; Assam ; Burma ; Tenasserim to Java in 

 the Malayan Subregion. 



The above description is of the South Indian form (Eulepis 

 ivardi, Moore; E. schreiber wardi, Eothsch. & Jord.). The Assam 

 form (E. schreiber assamensis, Eothsch. & Jord.) typically wants 

 the spots in interspaces 6 and 7 of the fore wing, but a specimen 

 from Shillong in the British Museum has these spots, only they 

 are placed prominently in echelon with one another as in the form 

 from the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra. Burmese and 

 Tenasserim specimens resemble the Assam form. 



Larva green, with a yellow band on 7th segment. Head with 

 four curved and tuberculated processes. 



Pupa green, with a longitudinal row of red dots on each side.

(S . U-pperside greenish or yellowish white. Eore wing :. base 

 and cell irrorated with bluish and dusky black scales ; costal margin 

 black above apex of cell and above vein 4 beyond cell ; the whole 

 apex broadly black, on the termen gradually narrowing up to 

 the tornus, bearing in interspace 5 a large greenish-white spot. 

 Hind wing: extreme base irrorated slightly with bluish scales, 

 terminal margin comparatively broadly black, traversed by a sub- 

 terminal series of slender short white lunules, and a terminal series 

 of broader ochraceous lunules. Underside : ground-colour similar. 

 Fore wing : terminal margin broadly brown, bordered inwardly 

 by a double series of slender black lunules, obsolescent towards 

 apex of wing ; subapical greenish -yellow spot as on upperside, but 

 margined inwardly with black ; costal margin, from base to trans- 

 verse series of slender black lunules, broadly lilacine grey, 

 increasing in width slightly towards apex ; a prominent chocolate- 

 coloured band starting from base of interspace and curving round 

 cell and between veins 4 and 6 up to the transverse series of 

 slender black lunules. Hind wing : the chocolate-coloured band 

 on fore wing continued downwards parallel to the thorax and body 

 two-thirds of the length of vein 2, below this an oblique and a 

 transverse short black line on dorsal margin ; a postdiscal trans- 

 verse diffuse chocolate-coloured band, traversed by a double row 

 of slender black lunules, and outwardly margined with delicate 

 lilacine grey, followed by a row of minute black dots, a subterminal
