ab. viridissitrta ah. nov. (17 f), has the green tints amplified and pure without olive tint; the fringe 
of hindwings white at tips. 
E. atrovirens Moore (17 e). Superficially like the preceding species, but smaller and darker; the 
inner and outer lines pale green, edged and traversed by black; claviform stigma distinct, brown, edged 
with black; orbicular and reniform pale green, well separated and not protruding below median; no white 
spot below vein 2; subterminal line preceded by a rufous tinge and a dark blotch at costa; the space 
between subbasal and inner lines often blotched with deep olive fuscous; veins pinkish grey dotted with 
black; a row of black terminal lunules; fringe yellow green tipped with black; hindwing greenish fuscous, 
with cellspot and veins darker; pale outer and subterminal lines. Sikkim and Bhutan; Khasia Hills, Assam. 
Specimens from this last locality are larger and darker. 
E. aurigera Walk. (= megastigma Walk.) (17 f). Eorewing a mixture of yellowish olive green and 
olive fuscous, the fuscous deepest in patches on median and terminal areas; veins darker irrorated with lilac 
grey scales; inner and outer lines inconspicuous, double, black filled in with pale green and lilac scales; 
subterminal line yellowish green, angled outwards at vein 7 and dentate below middle; terminal area pale 
yellowish green between veins 2 and 4; orbicular and reniform stigmata pale yellow green, generally 
with darker, more brownish, centres, coalescent below median emitting a white or greenish white short 
stout bar, oblique from near base of vein 2 to submedian fold, which in the <$$ is sometimes slender 
and less conspicuous; a black festooned terminal line; fringe yellow green, the apical half olive fuscous, 
cut by yellow green beyond veins; hindwing greyish fuscous; the basal area for % whitish below cell fold, 
containing a grey cell spot and faint outer line; fringe fuscous grey with paler basal line; a rarer form, 
- ab. incolorata ab. nov. (17 f) — is entirely without any yellowish tints, appearing a mixture of pure 
green and purple brown, with a reddish brown cloud in submedian fold beyond outer line more prominent, 
and the band beyond outer line more purplish. Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam. 
E. guttata spec. nov. (17 g). Smaller than aurigera, from which it is at once distinguished by the 
shape of the white spot at base of vein 2, which is not elongate but condensed into a more or less 
rounded drop-shaped spot, better defined; in coloration it agrees rather with the aberration incolorata than 
with the yellower type form. Sikkim and Bhutan; 8 and 1 $ in the Tring Museum; 2 of these 
must be separated as ab. attenuata ab. nov. (17 g); in these the large rounded drop-shaped white spot 
is reduced to a small narrower detached white spot. 
E. literata (Moore) (1 7 f). Forewing pale bright green; the median vein and vein 1 pinkish grey; 
a band between outer and subterminal lines from vein 6 to 1 pinkish brown; the lines green; the shad¬ 
ing deep fuscous; subbasal line preceded and followed by dark blotches, that below vein 1 elongate and 
pointed; inner and outer lines double, black filled in with green, both waved; orbicular and reniform stig¬ 
mata pale green, conversely oblique, forming with a green blotch below a green Y-shaped mark; claviform 
stigma broad and dark; a similar blotch in submedian interval before outer line; cell before, between, and 
beyond stigmata dark fuscous and reddish; the space between with the base blunt; subterminal line green, 
sinuous, dentate outwards on veins 1, 3, and 4, followed by two dark blotches; terminal area green, 
with large dentate black terminal marks; fringe dull pink and fuscous; costal streak and inner margin green 
throughout; the costa spotted with black; bindwing dull dirty whitish shaded with fuscous grey along termen 
and inner margin, with dark cellspot, veins, and outer line; a dark interrupted line along termen; fringe 
greenish ochreous. A small species from Sikkim and the Khasia Hills, Assam. 
E. venosa Moore (17 f). Smaller than literata but much resembling it; it differs in the upper 
stigmata being coalescent below, so that the dark blotch between them is V-shaped, pointed at the end, 
not blunt; subterminal line defined only by the difference in colour between the green terminal area and 
the rufous band preceding it, except by a streak at costa and a small triangular mark at vein 5; 
no terminal lunules; fringe green with black mottling at the tips; hindwing reddish brown. Sikkim, X. India. 
Apparently a rare species; I have seen only the type; possibly a form of literata. 
E. monilis Moore (= chalcochlora Hmps.) (17 g). Forewing pale grey green with a faint olive 
tinge and dusted with darker; the area beyond cell to termen clouded with dull rufous; costa white- 
spotted at the origin of the lines; subbasal line pale, indistinct, marked externally in base of cell by 
a white black-edged curve; inner and outer lines wavy, conversely edged with dark and pale; orbicular 
stigma green, edged with white dots; reniform large, somewhat dumbbell-shaped, edged by snow white 
lines interrupted into spots; subterminal line dentate, white, the teeth filled up with darker; small black 
terminal lunules tipped with white; fringe olive grey green; hindwing greenish fuscous, with dark cellspot 
and outer line in $; in $ whitish with the veins grey and thickened to termen, which is darker grey. Khasia 
Hills, Assam. The type of chalcochlora from Sikkim. 
calamistrata. 
E. calamistrata Moore (17 g). Fore wing pale ochreous suffused in parts with pale olive and brown;
