Male. Black. Head and fore part of the thorax with white 

 dots. Abdomen brown, with a testaceous band on the hind border 

 of each segment. Wings white at the tips. Fore wings with blue 

 dots at the base, with two testaceous spots towards the base, and 

 with two macular testaceous bands ; the first spot is very small, and 

 in front; the second is linear, and extends along the hind border ; 

 first band composed of three spots, of which the first and second are 

 larger and nearer together than is the third ; second band composed 

 of two spots which are subdivided. Hind wings testaceous, with a 

 black border. Legs striped with white. Length of the body 11 

 lines ; of the wings 36 lines. 



Much resembles the preceding species, but the fore wings are 

 broader and much shorter, and form a less oblique angle on the hind 

 border. The black margin of the hind wings is narrower, especially 

 behind, and its inner border is even, not angular or undulating as 

 in E. longipenni$.
