" Four h 'ual legs moderately long, the middle pair in the male with the femur nearly one fourth 
lojigcr than that of the hind legs, thickly scaly ; middle tibia of the male with a thick coat 
of very short scaly hairs near the base beneath, and with two rows of short thick spines 
on all the tibia) ; tarsi considerably shorter than the tibia, rather thickly clothed at the 
sides and beneath ^^•ith very short spines ; claws rather large and very much curved : 
paronychia small, bifid. 
" Larva chilopodomorphous, linear, lengthened, provided on each side with ten long, attenuated, 
spreading, branchiform appendages of nearly equal length, consisting of a midrib and lateral 
beards, decreasing in length towards the extremity, and imitating the structure of a very 
delicate plume, being armed with a terminal spike composed of a dense whorl of short robust 
spines. Feet short, minute, and entirely concealed by the lateral appendages. Pupa short, 
angular, attenuated at both ends, with two sides even, the third or ventral surface gently 
swelled or rounded ; consisting of uncciual pyramidal portions, the abdominal portion being 
the longest, and provided witli two points, whilst tlie angles are armed with a few short 
spines, which are more robust at the union of the two pyramids ; the longitudinal and 
transverse ridges ornamented with a delicate gold streak." {Westwood, I. c.)

" Adolias obscure fusco-viridis ; alis anticis pone medium obscurioribus characteribus auriformibus 
nigris ante medium, striga obliqua submcdia e maculis sex magnis irregularibus maculisque 
tribus subapicalibus alljidis ; posticis macula parva quadrat a costali lunulaque adjecta albidis, 
fasciaque submargiuali fusca : alis subtus viridi-griseis anticis in medio obscurioribus 
maculis characteribusque ut in pagina superiori ; posticis etiam characteribus nonnuUis 
nigris versus basin fasciaque undata alba pone medium e costa fere ad angulum analem

Olivaceous, sometimes tinged with j-ellowish. Primaries with black markings in the discoidal cell 
similar to those of E. pratti, but the outer one is more reniform ; there is a broad oblique 
yellow macidar band from middle of costa to first median interspace ; three yellow spots 
towards apex precede the blackish submargiual band; marginal area paler with a con- 
spicuous pale blotch in the submedian interspace. Secondaries have a yellow central band 
which is broad towards costa and tapers to a fine point at third median nervule ; a 
continuation of this band (not always present) is represeated by an oblong spot in second 
median interspace and a round one in first median interspace ; submarginal band blackish, 
interrupted, and the area beyond is rather paler. Fringes white, broadly chequered with 
blackish. Antenna) black above, reddish beneath. Under surface, greenish white ; on the 
primaries the central band and spots towards apex are reproduced in white ; the band is 
preceded by a black line, which increases in width and assumes band-like proportions towards 
the inner margin ; the black submarginal line terminates in a large black blotch in submedian 
interspace : secondaries have the black subbasal markings similar to those of E. pratti, but 
less broken up ; the central band is white and continuous from costa to first median 
interspace, its inner edge is indented and bordered with dark olive ; submarginal band dark 
olive, merging into black towards anal angle.
