limited by the obscure whitish subbasal line; inner line broadly white, tinged with yellow at costa; edged 
inwardly from costa to middle by a black line preceded by some yellow brown, forming a strong blunt 
projection outwards on submedian fold, then inwardly oblique, angled inwards on vein 1 and outwards 
above inner margin; outer line also broad and white, edged outwardly by a fine lunulate dentate black 
line, outcurved above then incurved, followed below vein 5 by a yellowish band and by a whitish space 
above; subterminal line fine, white, below middle zigzag, preceded by a black shade from below costa 
widening downwards; terminal area leaden purple above vein 4, yellowish below, but the angles of the 
subterminal line filled in with black; a yellow terminal line swollen into spots beyond the veins; orbi¬ 
cular stigma subquadrate, leaden purple, laterally edged with yellowish; reniform leaden purple with some 
yellow at middle, edged with yellowish white; cell black on each side of orbicular, browner beyond reni¬ 
form ; median area below middle black, with a brown spot on inner margin; hindwing blackish, paler to¬ 
wards base, with a white waved submarginal line from anal angle to vein 5 and a white subterminal 
spot on vein 2 which is thickened; in the the hindwing is paler. Sikkim, X. India. 
E. pectinata Warr. (161, 17a). Fore wing leaden purple along costa to middle and in terminal area; pedinata. 
median area below middle brown black, also a narrow shade preceding the pale subterminal line; sub- 
basal line white limiting a brown basal patch, followed in lower half of submedian fold by a broad 
black spot with a pointed one below it above inner margin; inner white band broad, bluntly bent only 
below median, then incurved, and bluntly bent outwards above inner margin; orbicular stigma leaden 
purple, with lateral yellow edges; reniform white with two brown spots at upper end and some brown 
scales at lower, followed by a semicircular blotch of brown scales; the cell on each side of orbicular black; 
median vein white, joining the stigmata; outer line white, hardly defined by black scales, and lost in the 
general white outer suffusion; subterminal line white, wavy, preceded by a black shade from costa to 
submedian fold, where it is preceded by some brownish green suffusion; terminal area leaden purple 
above vein 4, ochreous with grey triangles below; fringe leaden grey, with large pale spots at base beyond 
veins; hindwing whitish clouded with fuscous at apex and along termen; waved grey outer and sub¬ 
terminal lines, followed by pale, and darker marked on vein 2; fringe grey with pale dotted basal line 
and pale tips; in the $ the whole hindwing is fuscous. Occurs throughout the Punjab, N. India and 
in the Nilgiri Hills in the South. 
E. exangulata Warr. (17 a). Resembles pectinata Warr., but. differs as follows: it is always exangulata. 
smaller, 30 mm only as compared with 36 mm; the dark median area is at once narrower and paler; 
the amount of brown scaling in the basal area is greater; the inner white band forms an angular pro¬ 
jection on submedian fold into the median area, stronger than that in pectinata, but much less prominent . 
than in sinuata Moore ; and the reniform stigma is more strongly marked with leaden grey at top and 
bottom. Sikkim and Bhutan only. 
Sect. III. Antennae of ciliated. 
E. rostrifera Warr. (17 a). Forewing white; the markings black; neither the basal nor median rostrifera. 
area nor the terminal black markings reaching inner margin; basal area traversed by a curved white 
subbasal line; inner white band narrow at costa, broad at middle, constricted on vein 1 by the inward 
projection of median area, then running in to base and outwardly confluent with the outer white area; 
orbicular stigma dark plumbeous, very faintly defined by paler; reniform white forming part of outer 
area, the median area forming a black hook beyond it and ending in a brown point above inner margin; 
outer line scarcely defined by two parallel series of black atoms; terminal area above middle purplish 
black, inwardly edged with black, the edge extending to submedian fold, beyond which the termen is 
white; fringe purplish with a whitish basal line swollen into spots at the veins; hindwing dark brownish 
fuscous, paler basejvards, with a white terminal streak from vein 1 to 3, separated by a black streak 
from white spots on veins 2 and 3; fringe black at apex, below vein 6 with the tips white. A $ (type) 
from Bonthain, Celebes, and a from Java; the latter has less white shown above anal angle of 
fore wing. 
E. albovittata Moore (17 a). F ore wing white; the basal and median areas velvety black; the albovittata. 
terminal area above middle leaden purple; inner white band broad, its outer edge vertical across median 
vein from fold to fold, its inner edge projecting basewards along median vein into the black basal area 
and bearing a patch of brown scales, the band roundly projecting outwards below vein 1; cell on each 
side of orbicular stigma and the whole median area above vein 1 black, brown on inner margin; orbicular 
stigma leaden black, finely pale-edged, reniform white with a dark fleck above, and confluent below with 
the outer white area; median vein white to orbicular stigma; outer white band undefined, absorbed in 
the white of outer area, preceded beyond reniform by a brownish patch, the costal area above it pale 
brown; subterminal line also lost, but defined externally by the dentate edge of the leaden purple ter¬ 
minal area, the white above anal angle marked by some fine brown transverse freckles; hindwing dark
