and two near extremity, which are continued and joined above the discoidal Dermic ; an angnJated line 

 between the bases of the second and third median nervules ; an ovnts spot between the bases of the lower 

 and upper subcostal nervules, preceded by a larger one situate beneath the costal nernire ; both wings 

 crossed by two aubmarginal waved fuscous lines, the outer one very dark on anterior wings, the apical 

 angle of which is suffused with greenish. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings.

The female of this species is either unknown or unrecognised at present. The male here 

 figured is the specimen collet* nl in EVrak by l>r. Townsend, and now in the colWl.ti m pi

 for examination and study,

Male. Wings aliove very dark chocolate -brown, the outer margins of both wings pale bluish ; on 

 anterior wings this bluish margin is narrow, commencing a little beneath apical angle, and slightly 

 widening and tenninating at posterior angle : on posterior win^s it is very broad, especially near anal 

 angle; outer margins narrowly Muck, the fringe pearly white; cell of anterior wings crossed by four 

 blackish lines, the innermost two nearly straight, the outer two prominently bent and sinuated, and 

 a similarly bent black Hue at end of cell ; the three innermost of these lines aTe continued beneath the 

 median uervurc. Wings beneath pale olivaceous-brown ; anterior wings with the basal area palest, 

 cellular markings ris above, but more distinct, and two diecal, narrow, undulating fuseous fascia?, the inner 

 one waved, the outer entire, but somewhat discontinuous. Posterior wings with the cell crossed by some 

 indistinct fuscous lines, a similar convex one near its apex* and an elongate ovate spot on each side of the 

 base of the upper subcostal nervule : two discal and parallel narrow fuscouB fasciae, terminating at about 

 the third median nervine, the inner one broadest, and the outer narrow and somewhat broken. Body and 

 legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female, Larger and paler in hue than the mate ; markings similar, but anterior wings above 

 exhibiting the discal fascUe only seen on the under surface of the male; theso fascia? are also slightly 

 broader and the colour between them somewhat paler; cell of posterior wings exhibiting the transverse 

 dark lines as beneath. Wings beneath brighter and warmer in hue than in the other sex ; the markings 

 bimilar.

This and the following species represent a section of the genus in which the males are 

 strikingly similar to each other and equally dissimilar from the females. Felder appears to 

 have been first in recognising the sexual connection between these diverse forms, when he 

 described \ the male of E. puseda. 



The great interest attaching to this species is that it represents the closest alliance and 

 resemblance between the sexes of this section, the following species here described and figured 

 showing a gradually increasing tendency to sexually differentiate ; whilst it is to the Indo- 

 Malayau region that this portion of the genus is almost confined.
