$ . Upperside resembles E. garuda <5 , but the ground-colour is 

 of a duller brown, the black markings similar but very indistiuct, 

 and the white spots on the fore wing entirely absent. Underside 

 like that in E. garuda, but the ground-colour of a duller darker 

 ochraceous brown, no white spots on the fore wing, instead of 

 these a discal dark obscure baud from costa beyond cell curved 

 downwards and continued somewhat faintly across the hind wing, 

 followed by a subterminal series of minute black dots, crossing both 

 fore and hind wing, the two spots in interspaces 1 and 2 of fore 

 wing much larger and diffuse ; apex of fore wing touched with 

 blue. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown ; beneath, 

 the antennae ochraceous red, the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 whitish brown. — $ . Differs on the upperside from E. garuda 2 

 in being much paler, the cellular markings on both fore and hind 

 wings broad and diffuse, the discal short series of whitish spots 

 on the fore wing smaller ; the fore as well as the hind wing with 

 a distinct postdiscal series of small dark spots. Underside : 

 ground-colour a yellower brown than in E. garuda 2 ? the usual 

 slender cellular and basal dark markings on fore and hind wing 

 respectively ; the hind wing, except the apical area, broadly, and 

 the termen narrowly, overlaid with metallic blue ; the white 

 discal spots on fore wing as on the upperside, but placed on a 

 dark brown diffuse discal band which is continued across the hind 

 wing into the blue area ; on the hind wing this band is lunular; 

 finally, a subterminal row of dark dots on the fore wing bordered 

 outwardly by a narrow lilac band broadening over the apex of 

 the wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the <$ but 

 paler. 



Exp. 6 2 68-77 mm. (2-68-3-05"). 



Hah. Lower Burma and Tenasserim, extending to the Malay 

 Peninsula and Borneo. 



Moore is probably right in identifying as the 2 of this 

 form the insect named and figured by de Niceville as the $ of 

 E. bingliami. I am quite unable, however, to accept, as Moore 

 has, E. eriphyle, de ISTicevLlle = jE7. delmana, Swinhoe, as distinct 

 from E. apicalis, Butler.
