14 L. de Niceville^ — Butterflies from the Inch-Malayan region. [No. 1, 



second and tliird spots also linear but of a good breadth, the fourth and 

 fifth spots in the median interspaces somewhat irregular ovals, the fifth 

 the largest^in the series, the sixth spot constricted in the middle, almost 

 bisected, the seventh spot small and oval ; a well marked submarginal 

 black fascia formed of regular lunules, anteriorly becoming smaller aod 

 lost altogether in the subcostal iutei'space, which bears between the 

 discal series of spots and the submarginal lunular fascia a small round 

 yellow spot. Hindioing with a prominent discal series of eight spots, the 

 three anterior ones white, the five posterior ones pale primrose-coloured, 

 these latter outwardly defined by a broad black line, the uppermost spot 

 on the costa linear, the second the largest, the third next in size, the 

 sixth the smallest, the fourth, fifth and seventh equal-sized ; a prominent 

 hifhly-lunulated submarginal black fascia placed on a pale ground, the 

 two anteriormost portions of this band quadrate, bearing each a 

 whitish spot on either side. Underside, both ivmgs ochreous, more or less 

 washed with purplish ; a submarginal series of small round black spots 

 between the veins. Foreiving with the ring-spot in the middle and 

 double line closing the cell very prominent ; the discal band white, 

 obscure, each spot forming it outwardly defined by a thin dark line. 

 Hindwing with a prominent small black ring-spot in the middle of the 

 cell (this spot is absent in E. eson, dc Niceville, and E. giipta, de Nice- 

 villc, but is present in all the other species), two prominent black lines 

 at the end o£ the cell ; the spots forming the discal band much larger 

 than on the upperside, all touching, and outAvardly defined with a thin 

 dark line. Female. Upperside, hath wings somewhat paler than in the 

 male. Foreiving similarly marked, but the sj^ots of the discal band 

 larger and pure white, as is also the subcostal spot ; a prominent 

 violct-Avhite fascia between the discal and submarginal bands, extending 

 from the inner margin to the lower discoidal nervule. Hindioing with 

 the discal macular band of the male reduced to five spots only, all the 

 spots very much smaller also, no spots posterior to the third median 

 nervule. Underside, both tvings r-icher coloured than in the male, 

 strongly tinted with ferruginous : the submarginal black spots all 

 larger and move diffused. Foreiving with the discal white band 

 anterioi'ly much expanded. Hindwing with a well-formed prominent 

 discal macular white band, extending from the costa to the abdominal 

 margin, the spots posterior to the first median nervule run into a 

 single spot undivided by the crossing veins. 



The male of E. externa is nearest to the same sex of E. eson, de 

 Niceville ■ I have pointed out above how they differ. The female of 

 E. externa is nearest to E. goodrichi, Distant, from Perak, from which 

 it may be known by the spots of the discal series of the forewing on the
