this sex than in the male. The fringes between the extremities of 
the nervules are conspicuously white. Upper side of both wings 
lighter in color than in the male. A distinct submarginal series 
of ocelli appears upon the secondaries just before the outer third. 
Under side. Markings as in the male, but paler. The broad black 
patch of scales near the inner margin of the primaries is wholly 
wanting, and the external margin of these wings is also broadly 
washed with a bright fulvous shade. Expanse: $ 64 mm., 9 69 
mm. Described from three J 1 $ and two 9 9 in Coll. Holland. 
This species is allied to E. Ariadne , but is nearly one-tliird larg- 
er, and in the form as well as the markings of the wings shows 
numerous points of divergence. It is one of the largest species in 
the genus, almost equalling in size E. Actisanes, Hew., of West 
Africa.

$ . Superficially resembling E. Merione, Cram. The outer 
margin of the primaries is more regular than in E. Merione , being 
truncate at the apex, broadly rounded at the external angle, and 
perfectly straight between the extremities of the upper radial and 
the first median nervule. The upper surface is brighter in color 
than in Merione , and the zigzag lines on the basal and discal area 
not so sharp. The outer margin of the primaries is heavily shaded 
with brown, and of the secondaries with a still darker shade of 
brown, which is traversed by a broad scalloped marginal line of 
deep velvety black. The underside is in the pattern of the mark- 
ings like Merione , but the black area of the primaries and the sec- 
ondaries is considerably reduced, and the apex of the former and 
the outer margin of the latter are broadly suffused with gray. The 
submarginal series of lunules is very distinct, the centres being of 
a bright chestnut red. 
9 . Displays a marked difference from the female of Merione , 
Cram. The outline of the wings is as in the male, but regularly and 
gently scalloped. The fringes are conspicuously white between the 
extremities of the nervules. The prevalent color of the upper sur- 
face of the wings is a pale fawn, shading on the outer margin of 
the secondaries into blackish. The marginal line on the primaries 
is narrow and black ; on the secondaries broad, diffuse and jet black. 
The submarginal row of ocellate lunules is relatively much nearer 
the marginal line than in Merione , and the form of the lunules is
