S 2 • Fore wing : costa strongly arched, not falcate below apex, 

 which is slightly truncate ; ternien slightly concave, tornus rounded 

 but very distinct, dorsum straight. Hind wing broadly pear- 

 shaped, the costa, apex and ternien roundly curved ; tornus slightly 

 produced ; dorsum arched, slightly emarginate above tornus. 

 cJ . Upperside dark velvety brown. Fore wing : basal area, cell and 

 wiug beyond apex of latter crossed by broad, short, paler brown 

 bars, and a pale brown preapical patch. Hind wing uniform. 

 Fore and hind wings with a brilliant metallic blue terminal band, 

 commencing just above the tornus on the fore and gradually 

 widening to the tornus on the hind wing. Underside rich 

 fuliginous brown, basal area below the cell of the fore and basal 

 area of the hind wing with loop-like black markings ; cellular 

 area of fore wing crossed by five transverse, short, sinuous, black 

 lines ; both fore and hind wing with broad, lunular, very obscure, 

 dark discal broad and postdiscal narrow transverse bands. — 

 The 2 curiously resembles the 2 of E. cocytus, but apart from the 

 difference in the shape of the fore wing the ground-colour on the 

 upperside is a darker brown ; there are five not four dingy white 

 discal spots, the upper two and the lower two subequal ; the 

 inwardly oblique postdiscal dark band very diffuse and much 

 broader. The underside is of a much paler ochraceous, but 

 the markings are similar, Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 dark brown in both sexes ; beneath in the S pale brownish, in the 

 2 ochraceous.

$ . Resembles E. phemius, Doubleday, but on the upperside the 

 ground-colour is slightly darker, the fore wing entirely lacks the 

 white postcellular streaks and preapical two white spots. Hind 

 wing : the terminal third of the wing paler brown, traversed by a 

 postdiscal row of dark spots and a broad shining metallic blue 

 terminal band between veins 1 and 6. Underside pale brown, 

 the usual cellular and basal dark markings on fore and hind 

 wing respectively, followed by a common broad irregular dark 

 brown discal band; a postdiscal similar band broadening poste- 

 riorly on the fore wing, faint, indistinct on the hind wing, 

 traversed by a well-marked row of very dark brown spots. 

 Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown ; beneath, the 

 antennae red ; the palpi, thorax and abdomen ochraceous brown. — 

 Female unknown.
