Hut.— Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (Brit. Mua.).— Borneo (Brit. Mus. ; colls, Moore and Dist.). 



E. muldber is only here included on the strength of a female specimen, described as from 

 Malacca, and contained in the British Museum. I have seen no other specimen from the Malay 

 Peninsula, and it has hitherto been considered as the constant Bornean race or form of 

 E. midamus, and peculiar to that island,

Male. Anterior wings olivaceous-brown, becoming darker with dark blue reflections towards apex,

 large and irregularly shaped. Posterior wings with the base olivaceous- brown ; remainder much paler, and

 series of very small spots. Posterior wings with the following white spots : — a submarginal series, of which 

 the upper three are the largest, and which with the fourth are placed singly between the nervules, and a 

 marginal series which dot s not uxteiid to apex. Head and thorax above blackish ; heml ami unicrior portion

Hab. — Continental India ; Assam (Warwick, Brit. Mus.). — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellcsley (coll. 

 Dist.i ; Perak (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (colis. Moore and Brit. Mas.). 



I have not yet received a female specimen of this species, and both Felder and Butler 

 described male specimens. It appears to bo almost confined to the Malay Peninsula, especially 

 if there should be any error in the locality of Assam as given by Mr. Warwick to the British 

 Museum. According to Smith, it is also found in Sumatra.*
