6 2 • Upperside very pale yellowish white. Fore wing : costa, 

 a short bar defining the discocellulars, the apical area of the wing- 

 beyond and a curved line from the middle of the costa to the 

 tornus, black ; a postdiscal oblique band of yellowish-white spots 

 in interspaces 1 to 6 ; the two spots in interspace 1 lunular. Hind 

 wing: a postdiscal brownish-black curved band parallel to the 

 margin of the term en, traversed by a series of bluish-white irregular 

 spots, and the terminal margin above the tail at apex of vein 2 

 narrowly bluish black. Underside pearly white with a slight 

 yellowish tint, the apical half only of the fore wing not yellowish. 

 Fore wing : costa for about three-fourths of its length, a short 

 black-edged band marking the discocellulars and reaching just 

 below vein 2, an oblique postdiscal band outwardly margined with 

 black reaching from costa to tornus, and the terminal margin rich 

 brown. Hind wing: an inwardly curved, anteriorly black-edged 

 band reaching from costa to near tornal angle, in continuation of 

 the short band on the discocellulars of fore wing, a postdiscal 

 curved band with its outer margin sinuous and a terminal band 

 rich brown. The postdiscal band traversed by a series of slender 

 black lunules, the tornal angle with a whitish spot and a series 

 of minute black dots between postdiscal and terminal bands. 

 Antennas, head and pronotum rich brown, rest of thorax and 

 abdomen blackish brown ; beneath, the thorax white, the abdomen 

 brown. 



Exp. 6 $ 90-126 mm. (3-55-5"). 



Hab. The Himalayas from Kulu to Sikhim ; Bhutan ; Assam ; 

 Cachar ; Burma ; Tenasserim, extending into the Malayan Sub- 

 region. 



Forms from the N.W. Himalayas, from Nepal to Tenasserim, 

 and from the Shan States of Burma have been separated as 

 subspecies by Munro, and by Rothschild and Jordan, but the 

 differences seem to me very slight.

<S $ . Upperside closely resembles on the fore wing the upper- 

 side of some specimens of E. eudamippus, but the black streak at 

 base of interspace 3, which in eudamippus is always present and 

 joined on to the black over the apical area, is in the present form 

 entirely absent. Hind wing in nepenthes with only a postdiscal 

 series of black lunules followed by a series of detached black, short, 

 transverse lines, and a narrow black line along the terminal margin
