on the hindwing is of the same pecnli;u- colour; it is broad and as a rule touches

As in K. hypocala Roths. (1901), figured in Nov. Zool. xi. tab. 3. fig. 26. S 

 (1904), the costal edge of the hindwing al)0ve is red. The 3'ellow bronze bands 

 of the underside are broader than in ki/pocala, that of the forewing generally 

 reaches down to the snbmedian vein, and the band of the hindwing is mostly so 

 broad as to extend to the cell. The costal border of the hindwing is not essentially 

 widened proximally. The process projecting from the edge of the basal abdominal 

 groove is moderately long (c?).

3 c? (? from Macas, East Ecuador (received from Messrs. Staudinger & 

 Bang-Haas). 



Dark burnt umber, flushed with fawn-colour. A median stripe from head 

 to metanotnm, patagia, and an ill-defined basal cloud at each side of abdomen 

 deep brown, a median row of minute dots on abdomen almost black. A minute

 abdomen white or nearly so ; a number of ill-defined spots on metasternum and 

 on underside of abdomen rust-colour. 



Vpperside of wings of a much warmer tint than in N. ericea Druce (1888). 

 Forewing more elongate, the tip more ol)lii|uely truncate, the marginal tooth R^ 

 absent, the teeth M' and M- very small, and the angle at W much less projecting ; 

 markings nearly as in N. ericea ; the black antemedian dash situated in front of 

 the submedian vein very prominent; two distinct black discocellular dots; the 

 blackish brown marginal area bounded by a continuous black line from SC'^ to 

 hind angle, the line being angulate in centre; black apical Innule prominent;
