from farther west, a fact already mentioned by Moore (Lep. Ind. Ill, p. 133); hindwirigs with 3 instead of 
6 white discal spots; a $ figured by Moore (Lep. Indica pi. 241) lacks these altogether. — narayana Sm., narayana. 
a small-sized alpine form of which only a number of $$ are known with certainty, all of which were taken 
near the Ruby Mines in Upper Burma. Ground-colour rather paler green than in nadaka $; on the fore wing 
the spots are smaller. Elwes reports having seen in the Naga Hills several some of which resemble narayana, 
others iva Moore ; however I assume that he was mistaken in this. — pyrrha Leech (Vol. I, p. 190, pi. #8 d) pyrrha. 
is only known to me in $. Type from the Province of Kweichow; occurs also on Omei-Shan and at Mupin, 
June, July. Scarce. — Of kosempona Fruhst. (130 d) I possess 3 $$ having on the forewing the white band kosempona. 
suffused with yellowish, and broader than in nadaka , likewise the subapical spots larger. Hind wing with 3—5 
discal dots margined distally with yellow. Under surface mainly yellowish green with heavier black subbasal 
markings. Very scarce, June-July, at Kosempo in Formosa. 
E. leechi Oberth. (Vol. I, p. 191, pi. 58 d) resembles sahadeva pyrrha, but $ differs in the paler bronce- leechi. 
colour and in lacking on the fore wing the white or yellow band. Occurs in the same localities as E. sahadeva 
'pyrrha. 
Of E. iva Moore, one of the rarest Indian butterflies, onty the $ has been described and figured. It iva. 
is larger than sahadeva in colouring it resembles E. nadaka $, but has on the forewing the white spots broader 
and more sharply pointed. Hindwing above with 4 white dots. Under surface a lovely green, forewing with a 
slightly yellowish tone, hindwing pale emerald green, marked as above, but with 6 rounded median spots on 
the hindwing. I once took a $ at Dating (Sikkim) in August at an altitude of about 6500 ft. One pair 
from Manipur in the Niceville collection of the Calcutta Museum, one $ in the He wit son coll, of the Bri¬ 
tish Museum. 
E. kardama Moore (Vol. I. p. 191, pi. 58 a) is one of the most common butterflies of Western China, kardama. 
forming part of every collection sent froom Szetchuan. Common in Western and Central China. 
Of E. patala (Vol. I, p. 191) 3 local forms are described: patala Roll, ranging from Chumba to Nepal, patala. 
— pratti Leech (Vol. I, p. 191, pi. 58 c), rare in June and July near Itchang and Chang-yang in Central and praili. 
Western China. — taooana Moore is above darker olive green than patala ; $ with much broader yellow bands tuooana. 
on the forewing. Type from Taoo, Tenasserim, at 3—5000 ft. of altitude. Doherty always found it in March 
and April on the excrements of Tigers which at that time were still very numerous in the Karen Hills. I myself 
observed between Petichang and Tandong, Tenasserim, in May a on a moist spot in the bridle-path. In 
the Tring Museum there are 7 <$$ from Perak presumably taken by Doherty. 
E. Confucius Westw. (Vol. I. p. 191, pi. 58 b), a lovely species, differing from E. patala in having on the confucius. 
forewing 3 instead of 2 whitish subapical spots, and in the more variegated under surface of the hindwings; 
not very scarce in Western and Central China. 
E. formosana Fruhst. (130 cl) is not allied to any form of the continent; discovered by Sa titer at Ko- formosana. 
sempo, Formosa, in June. On the hindwing the median band is, especially in uncommonly broad, straight 
and pale yellow, on the forewing more irregular. Beneath it resembles E. confucius, being olive green, laved 
with whitish-yellow in the median area, and suffused with pale green at the base. Forewing with a distinct, 
sharply dentate, black submarginal band reaching from the anal angle to the lower radial. Apparently rather 
common; 12 <JcL 8 $$ in the Fruhstorfer collection. 
E. hebe Leech (Vol. I, p. 191, pi. 58 b), very scarce, $ as yet unknown. From Omei-Shan and Chang- hebe. 
yang (type). 
E. shinnin Fruhst. (130 c!) apparently replaces hebe in Formosa, where it is likewise very scarce. Only shinnin. 
the <$ is known, differing from hebe in having the longitudinal band of the forewing more regular and on the 
hindwing the macular band shorter and curving rather more inward; both bands pale ochreous, not yellowish- 
green. The under surface lacks on the hindwing the terminal border which in hebe is very distinct; also the black 
submarginal band found in hebe is absent. Kanshirei, Formosa, June, discovered by Sauter; 5 d'd in the Fruh- 
storeer collection.
