"Four lihid leifs moderately long, the micldle pair in the male witli tlie femur nearly one fourth 
longer than that of the hind legs, thicldy scaly ; middle tibia of tlie male with a thick coat 
of very short scaly hairs ncnr the base beneath, and with two rows of short thick spines 
on all the tibia3 ; tarsi considerably sliorter than the tibia, rather thicklj- clothed at the 
sides and beneath with very short spines ; claws ratlicr large and very much curved : 
paronychia small, bifid. 
" Larva chilopodomorphous, linear, lengthened, provided on each side with ten long, attenuated, 
spreading, branchiform appendages of nearly equal length, consisting of a midrib and lateral 
beards, decreasing in length towards the extremity, and imitating the structure of a very 
delicate plume, being armed with a terminal si)ike composed of a dense whorl of short robust 
spines. Feet short, minute, and entire!}- concealed by the lateral appendages. Papa short, 
angular, attenuated at both ends, with two sides even, the third or ventral surface gently 
swelled or rounded ; consisting of unequal pyramidal portions, the abdominal portion being 
the longest, and provided with two points, whilst the angles are armed with a few short 
spines, which are more robust at the union of the two pyramids ; the longitudinal and 
transverse ridges ornamented with a delicate gold streak." {Westwood, 1. c.)

" Adolias obscure fusco-viridis ; alis anticis pone medium obscurioribus characteribus auriformibus 
nigris ante medium, striga obliqua submedia e maculis sex magnis irregularibus maculisque 
tribus subapicalibus albidis ; posticis macula parva quadrata costali lunulaque adjecta albidis, 
fasciaque submarginaU fusca : alis subtus viridi-griseis anticis in medio obscurioribus 
maculis characteribusque ut in pagina superiori ; posticis etiam characteribus nonnullis 
nigris versus basin fasciaque undata alba pone medium e costa fere ad angulum analem 
extensa. Expans. alar, antic, unc. 4|." ( Westwood, I. c.) 
Olivaceous, sometimes tinged with jellowish. Primaries with black markings in the discoidal cell 
similar to those of E. j^ratti, but the outer one is more reniform ; there is a broad oblique 
yellow macular band from middle of costa to first median interspace : three yellow spots 
towards apes precede the blackish submarginal band; marginal area paler with a con- 
spicuous pale blotch in the submedian interspace. Secondaries have a yellow central band 
which is broad towards costa and tapers to a fine point at third median nervule ; a 
continuation of this band (not always present) is represented by an oblong spot in second 
median interspace and a round one in first median interspace ; submarginal band blackish, 
interrupted, and the area beyond is rather paler. Fringes white, broadly chequered with 
blackish. Antenna; black above, reddish beneath. Under surface, greenish white ; on the 
primaries the central band and spots towards apex are reproduced in white ; the band is 
preceded by a black line, which increases in width and assumes band-Hke proportions towards 
the inner margin ; the black submarginal line terminates in a large black blotch in submedian 
interspace : secondaries have the black subbasal markings similar to those of E. piaiti, bul 
less broken up ; the central band is white and continuous from costa to first median 
interspace, its inner edge is indented and bordered with dark olive : submarginal band dirk 
olive, merging into black towards anal angle.
