by the uervulea, the first find innermost of which is placed above the upper dise.oiilal nervtile, and the sixth 

 between the third median nervulo and subniedian m-rvnre. Posterior wiu^s with a siilnuiii^iiial ist.-ries of 

 obscure g»rt yish spots, preceded by a few distal spots of the same colour. \Viit^> heuraih \>n\<- n-rruginons, 

 mottled with numerous and irregularly- sized chocolate striga>. Anterior wings with a costal series of pale 

 greyish spots ; four larger pale discal spots situate one beyond end of cell, two divided by the second median 

 nervule, and the fourth placed between the diseoidal nervuli.-s ; there are also faint indications of a 

 Bubmar^iiml series of spots placed between the nervulcs, of which the two most prominent are placed above 

 and beneath the third median nervule. Posterior wings with some dark and confluent stride principally 

 distributed on basal half, and with a prominent dark submarginal fascia, which is preceded by pale 

 greyish, and followed by several narrower, waved, and somewhat fused dark marginal faseite. Body and 

 legs more or less coueolorous with wings.

Female, I have not been able to examine this sex, but Mr. Butler * has described a female specimen 

 as of this species, which was collected in Singapore by Lieut. Roberts, as follows: — " ? . Above, same 

 pattern as E. tinuuitlm, ?, Wallace, i but the whole apical area pale violet, and the rest of the ground- 

 colour of a browner tint than in that species. Below, markings the same as in the male, but ill -defined, 

 the hind wings whitish, 1 ' 



Exp. wings, " inches." 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula. — Singapore (Butler). — Java (Wallace, and coll. Godm, & Salv,). 



I have enumerated this species entirely on the authority of Mr. Butler's determination of 

 the specimen collected at Singapore by Lieut. Roberts, in whose collection it remains, and 

 which I have not seen*

Male. Anterior wings dark violaceous, with paler suffusions on apical area, and with the following 

 very pale violaceous spots; — three discal ; one largo, placed between first and second median nervules, the 

 others exceedingly small and indistinct, and situate between the discoidal nervules ami between the second 

 and third median uervules; five large submarginal spots, divided by the uervules, of which the two upper, 

 inner, and largest are contiguous and separated by the lower discoidal nervule, the fifth being situate 

 between the third median nervule and tbo snbmedian nervure ; there is also a very faint indication of 

 a spot at end of n il. Costal area with basal third minutely spotted with greyish, remaining portion with 

 three or four pale bluish spots. Posterior wings castaneous, with the basal area fuscous. The extreme 

 margins of both wiu^s are alternately fuscous and while. Wing* beneath pale ferruginous, thickly mottled 

 with dark chocolate- brown strigw, irregular in shape and sise. Anterior wings with a number of pale 

 greyish spots on costal area ; the upper portion of cell and apical area somewhat paler in hue, and with 

 indications of a dark waved fascia near end of cell. Posterior wings somewhat darker, the strigie being 

 more numerous and contiguous, with indications of a much-waved and irregular dark fascia crossing wings 

 abottt end of cell, and a more or less distinct, broad, submarginal fascia, followed by several wuved t broken, 

 and indistinct lines. Body and legs more or less coueolorous with wings.
