Geographical race E. kollari, Felder. 



Habitat : South India, Orissa, Bengal, lower slopes of the Sikkim 

 Hills. 



Expanse: <?, 33 to 41; 9 , 37 to 4-1 inches. 



Description : Male and Female. Differs only from E. sinhala, 

 Moore, in the marginal spots of the forewing on both sides being rather 

 larger and reaching the apex of the wing usually ; the submarginal 

 series also rather larger. In all other respects as in E. sinhala. 



It is rather stretching a point to admit E. kollari as distinct from 

 E. sinhala, but as the differences noted above appear to be constant 

 and are just recognisable, I have thought it best to separate them. 



Except in Bengal, where E. kollari is found in the Sikkim terai 

 and on the lower outer slopes of the Sikkim hills and in Maldah, it ap- 

 pears to be confined to the littoral, the furthest point from the coast where 

 I have any record of its occurrence being Poona, about 70 miles in a 

 straight line from the sea, and Bhadrachalam, on the Grodavari, Madras, 

 which is about 100. Neither is it found in the hills except at the lower 

 elevations up to about 2,000 feet, save in the Nilgiris, where Mr. Hampson 

 took it at 3,500 feet elevation. In South India, Orissa and Bengal (with 

 some exceptions) the species is quite constant, it is only at Bholahat in 

 the Maldah district and on the lower slopes of the Sikkiin hills and in
