cicada, the veins more or less blue-black, hindwing white, with blue-black subapical spots: ab. cicada Fldr., or also 
puldiella. dusted with brown-black at the apex: ab. pulchella Roll. — major subsp. nov. Larger than pulchella. d: 
major. ] )asa i streak of the forewing widely separated from the transverse band, the latter placed near to the end 
of the cell. Hindwing yellow, more triangular than in pulchella, the distal margin straighter; the marginal 
band very narrow. ?: wings yellow, or the hindwing whitish: forewing with two very small black-brown 
spots, hindwing with a small spot, distal margin straight, abdominal margin proportionally longer than in 
pulchella. Tonkin. — Larva yellowish brown, with black longitudinal lines on the back and sides; on 
roses, tea, Polygonum. The moths fly in North India in the spring and again from the height of summer 
until the autumn; very common in Sikkim at elevations of 4—5000 ft. 
E. costimacula. At least the face in d and ? not red. In the d the forewing with two yellow 
spots behind the costal margin, hindwing orange-yellow or pale yellow, the distal margin very broadly black 
malaccensis. at the anal angle. — Of malaccensis subsp. nov. (6 a), from Gunong Ijau in Perak, only one ? is known to 
me, which is in the Tring Museum. Collar above and beneath pale red, as well as the occiput; no spot on 
the patagia. Forewing green-black, above without markings, beneath more blue-green, with very small 
whitish spot on the disco cellular; hindwing from the base to the origin of the 1. median white, beneath 
battakorum. with a white dot in the blue-black marginal area. Transition from E. pulchella to costimacula? — battakorum 
Dohrn (6 a). d without yellow streak at the base on the upperside of the forewing and with no brown- 
black marginal band on the hindwing beneath. ? dimorphic: the forewing above black, beneath spotted 
with yellow, the hindwing yellow, beneath with two black spots, or the forewing above yellow, distally 
browned, and beneath almost black, with whitish subcostal spots, and the hindwing white, above with black 
costimacula. distal margin, beneath with 2 black spots. Sumatra, in the Battak Mountains. — costimacula Auriv. (6a) 
has in the d a yellow streak at the base of the forewing and the distal margin of the hindwing is narrowly 
brown-black. Forewing of the ? above black, somewhat brown or greenish, with pale yellow basal streak, 
transverse band and discocellular dot of the same colour, beneath the basal half yellowish white; hindwing 
white, with brown-black marginal band, which beneath is more blue and is broken up into spots: ?-f. 
leptalinoides. leptalinoides Auriv. (6a). xA second form has above a yellow forewing, distally browned, which beneath 
as in the preceding ?-form is proximally yellowish white, distally blue-black; hindwing yellowish white, 
ochracea. with some blue-black spots before the distal margin: ?-f. ochracea Auriv. Java. The dd from the higher 
altitudes have on the whole a paler hindwing: the 2-f. leptalinoides Hies together with them: we have 
therefore probably in Java a highland form and a middle mountain form. Ascends to 8000 ft. 
shahama. E. shahama Moore (6 f, erroneously designated shamana). ?: abdomen above unicolorous black, not 
light-ringed. Collar not red. On the forewing at the base faint whitish yellow stripes between the veins, 
in the middle a macular band and at the end of the cell a round spot. Hindwing distally and anteriorly 
black, from the hindmargin to the cell yellow or almost to the costal margin white. — Darjeeling; in the 
British Museum and in coll. Staudinger. 
elizabetha. E. elizabetha Walk, (d = dirupta Walk., microcephala Fldr.) (y oh II, 2b). Collar not red. d: forewing 
with yellow spots, namely 1 or 2 streaks at the base, a transverse band of 2 or 3 spots before the middle, 
a round spot at the end of the cell and a variable submarginal band of small spots: hindwing yellow, the 
hindmargin, distal margin and usually also the veins more or less broadly black. $ similar to pale pulchella ??; 
in the forewing 2 spots in the end of the cell, 2 or 3 on the disc, the narrow apical margin, as well as 3 
or 4 small spots on the hindwing black-blue. — North and West China, found southwards as far as Hong-Kong. 
E. bicolor. Body above unicolorous black, slightly green, beneath green or blue. Wings black, 
with slightly green veins; a band on the forewing, in the d an abbreviated band on the hindwing and in 
the ? the whole hindwing with the exception of the distal margin yellow. North India: Tonkin. -— In the 
bicolor. North Indian form, bicolor Moore (? = viridivena Hamps .) (6b), which is known from Assam (Cachar, 
Khasia and Naga Hills), the d has a very narrow band on the forewing, and in the ? the yellow band is 
lata, not half as broad as the black basal area. — lata subsp. nov. (6b), from Central Tonkin; one $ known. 
Pectinations of the antenna considerably longer than in the preceding form; band of the forewing as broad 
as the black basal area. 
nigribasalis. E. nigribasalis llamps. Very similar to the d of E. bicolor, larger, the band of the hindwing 
longer. — One ? from Sikkim in coll. Elwes. Erroneously taken by Swinhoe for the d of bicolor. 
viridibasalis. E. viridibasalis Dudg. d: collar red: 1. palpal segment and underside of the thorax and abdomen 
yellowish white. Forewing with pale yellow, almost straight band, which is about 2'/i mm broad, at the 
end of the cell, running from the costa to the anal angle of the wing; the veins at both sides of the band 
and also the larger part of the basal area green. Hindwing above without markings, beneath with some blue 
longitudinal stripes and blue submarginal spots. — Tenasserim; 1 d in coll. Dudgeon. Not known to me in nature. 
E. circumdata. d and ? similar. Body black-green. Wings yellow, extreme base black; somewhat 
less than the distal half of the forewing black or purple: hindwing with black marginal band. North India. - 
circumdata. In circumdata Moore, from Sikkim, the distal area of the forewing is black and both sexes have on the
