( Figs 10 : A–B, 19: F, 25: A–B, 31: D, 93: D)

This species can be separated from similar E. salaminia by the following characters: the forewings have a darker, less greenish background color; the light tan band along the outer edge of the forewing is wider, and the hindwing marginal band is wider. Females have a strongly contrasting stigma which is lacking in E. salaminia . It is found in southwest Asia from the Philippines and peninsular Malaysia to Java and Sulawesi ( Zilli et al. 2017).
