Male. Wings above olivaceous-brown, darker and with somewhat bright reflections at base. Anterior 

 wings with a small white spot between fust and second subcostal nervules: a Ruhmargmal <vv'u-* of Jive 

 white and somewhat quadrate spots, with narrow, obscure, paler evanescent surroundings, placed between 

 the nervules, the first and uppermost one of which is situated between the third aud fourth subcostal 

 nervules, aud the lower one between the second discoidal and first median nervules ; of these the third is 

 the largest, and with the fourth and fifth more or less coalesce with a marginal series of smaller white 

 spots, which are placed in pairs between the nervules, becoming smaller towards posterior angle, and 

 tin the spreimen drseribed and figured ■ jvpivsfiitt'd only by n sin^Us spot between first and second median 

 nervules. Posterior wiu^s with a pair oehraci-ous dheuidal patrh, extending through upper portion of 

 cell, and with a marginal and subminimal series of white spots. Wings beneath slightly paler than 

 above; anterior wings, in addition to the white spots between first and second subcostal nervules as 

 seen above, with two small white spots beyond end of cell on each side of lower discoidal nervate, and with 

 a larger spot of the same colour between second and third median nervules ; the submarginal series are 

 much smaller, but, with the pale evanescent surroundings appearing larger ; posterior wings marked as 

 above. Head and thorax above very dark fuscous; head and anterior portion of thorax spotted with 

 white: abdomen fuscous above, with the sides and under surface slightly paler; head beneath, sternum, 

 and legs dark fuscous: palpi, sternum, and immediate bases of wini:s spotted with white.

It seems at least uncertain whether this species is not identical, and if so synonymic, with 

 E* eriehmnii, Fdder,' as so considered by Mr* Kirby.f Felder's habitats " India Septentrional is, 

 Cochin/' would also favour this view, Mr. Butler, however, has identified a closely -allied form 

 as E. erichsmii, and as Felderhas not figured his species, and his types are not easily accessible 

 for comparison, I have provisionally followed this view here and adopted Butler's name. 



It is probable that this species does not extend farther south than Quedah, from which our 

 collectors obtained a single specimen* I did not meet with it myself when collecting in Province 

 Wellesley, nor have I seen it in any collections from that district or Malacca,
