EULEPIS. 



o-r 



from apex of vein 2 upwards; tornal angle slightly ochraceous. 

 Underside resembles the underside of E. dolon, but in the fore wing- 

 there are two spots at base of cell, and two spots beyond its apex 

 at bases of interspaces 5 and 6, there is no brown band along the 

 costal margin, the band defining the discocellulars is incomplete, 

 while the postdiscal band and the bands on the hind wing are 

 light ochraceous not rich brown in colour ; the terminal band on 

 both fore and hind wing also is very narrow. Antennae, head and 

 thorax black, the thorax posteriorly with long yellowish-white hairs ; 

 the abdomen above and below and thorax beneath yellowish white.

<3 2 • Tipper side pale yellowish white. Fore wing : the costal 

 margin, the cell anteriorly, a transverse bar at its apex, joining a 

 broad line at base of interspace 3, and the whole apical half of 

 the wing purplish black: the black area narrows posteriorly, 

 extends to the tornus and bears the following yellowish- white 

 spots ; a spot beyond apex of cell, followed by two obliquely placed 

 spots beyond, a postdiscal oblique and a subterminal erect series 

 of spots. Hind wing: a postdiscal black band narrowing pos- 

 teriorly, its inner margin slightly, its outer margin highly sinuous, 

 traversed by an inner series of blue lunules, and an outer series of 

 prominent yellowish- white spots ; this is followed by a subterminal 

 narrow band of blue and a terminal black line, both of these stop 

 short of the tornus, which beyond the end of the postdiscal black 

 band is conspicuously yellowish white. Underside silvery white. 

 Fore wing : two black spots in cell, followed by a short isolated 

 Y-shaped mark, a discal oblique and a terminal erect band oliva- 

 ceous brown ; the Y-shaped mark has its fork at the lower apex of 

 the cell, is more or less bordered on both sides by conspicuous 

 broken black lines, and does not extend either to the costa or 

 below vein 2 ; the discal band is outwardly margined by a series 

 of detached black lunules. Hind wing with three transverse 

 brownish-yellow bands as follows : an excurved baso-median band, 

 bordered anteriorly on both sides by broken black lines, meeting 

 above the tornus a postdiscal band, outwardly bordered by a 

 series of black lunules with whitish centres, a detached row of 

 black spots in the interspaces, and a subterminal irregular band 

 outwardly bordered with greenish ; tails black with a median 

 streak of pale blue ; tornus conspicuously ochraceous ; a sub- 

 tornal short transverse black line crossing from the dorsum to 

 the baso-median band. Antennae and head black, thorax dusky
