Male. Wings above fuliginous-brown. Anterior wings with a black line crossing cull near base 

 and apparently continued between the median and submedian nerrures, a dark brown spot crossing 

 centre of cell, the margins of whi«'b nr.- Murk, ami which is roumlctl and closed posteriorly; a somewhat 

 similar spot at end of cell ; two similarly margined spots obliquely, but not quite, crossing cell of posterior 

 \vin»s; a dark brown oblique fascia crossing disk, commencing near termiimlion of cell (where there is 

 nu indistinct bronzy area), and terminating on inner margin, about one third from base; this is followed 

 by a somewhat narrower oblique fascia crossing bot.ii win^s, < ojtmn iu iu^ m ar apex of anterior wiugs ami 

 terminating on posterior winj^s near the abdominal margin nt about one-third from anal angle: this 

 fascia is widened at inner margin of anterior wiugs ; posterior wings with a much-waved, narrow, dark 

 submargiual Fascia, and outer margins of UotU win^s distinctly darker. Wiugs beneath pale greenish 

 oehraeeuuK : cellular markings us above : anterior wings with a rounded snot beneath cell en inner sitle 

 of third median nervule and a smaller dark spot on outer side of that nervule; posterior wings with 

 a looped spot beneath and near the base of costal nervine, followed by a smaller rounded spot beneath 

 the lirst subcostal nervine, and a curved black line beneath the base of second subcostal nervule; fascial 

 above very indistinctly and narrowly seen beneath. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Pale brownish ; cellular markings as in male ; anterior wings with a broad pale fascia, 

 occupying a space equivalent to that between the extreme margins of the two discal pale fasciaj in male; — 

 this fascia is pale, obscure, bluish above the second median nervule, and pale brownish beneath that 

 nervule, and its outer margin is brown and prominently waved and angulated : at costa it possesses an 

 irregularly shaped central, and a somewhat similar outer subolivaceous spot, the last almost continued 

 to apex above the fourth subcostal nervule ; posterior wings with fasche as in male, but which are paler 

 and narrower. AViugs beneath a^ above but paler; markings similar, but more indistinct; posterior wings 

 with the ooter-eellular markings as in male,

This is but a local race of the Javan E* tdphedu, Godfc.,* and differs principally in the 

 female sex. Mr, Butler, from au examination of Capt. Pin will's collection, remarked that in 

 Malacca the "species appears 'to be common/' t hut in Province Wellesley— judging from 

 collections — it appears to he a scarce insect.
