1. E. castanea, sp. nov.
♂. The form of the wings is exactly like that of Senegalensis, H. S. Upperside.—The ground colour is rich chestnut-brown, marked by broad black series of spots and bands. Upon the primaries these markings are as follows:-In the cell a longtiudinal basal streak, a transverse line, a figure 8, a twice curved transverse line, and a broad bar at the end of the cell constricted in the middle; below the cell there is a short basal band curving inwardly; beyond the cell there is a wide band running from the costa toward the outer margin as far as the lower radial; and then abruptly turning and extending to the middle of the inner margin; beyond this is a broad band of diffuse spots, wide on the costa, narrower beyond the end of the cell, and gradually widening as it apporaches the inner margin; beyond this is a submarginal series of very black round spots.
