NYMPHALINZ. (Group CHARAXINA.,) 241 
black submarginal decreasing macular band, which sometimes has central white dots ; 
a short upper discal slender black sinuous line slightly diffused outwardly with paler 
fulvous. Underside pale olivescent-ochreous, crossed by the normal slender blackish 
sinuous lines, the interspace of the discal lines being darker ochreous, and the 
marginal border with the normal lilacine-grey washed dentate markings. Body above 
pale fulvous; palpi above dusky-brown, beneath white; body beneath and legs pale 
greyish-ochreous; fore tarsi whitish ; antenne black. 
Female. Upperside yellowish-fulvous ; much paler than in male. Forewing 
with the outer border broadly black, the extreme marginal edge being fulvous tinged ; 
discocellular duplex streak and inner discal transverse lunules black and sharply 
defined, the lunules between the median basal interspaces decreasing in width from 
the upper, which is broad; the series of six submarginal lunular spots on the 
black border are broad, well-defined, and pale fulvous-yellow ; the medial discal 
area is pale yellowish-white, the upper portion being whitest, and with a distinct black 
costal streak extending from the costal vein to the lower radial. Hindwing with a 
submarginal series of broad black rounded spots, the two upper largest and united, 
the six next decreasing in size, the fourth, fifth, and sixth with a slightly defined 
central white speck, the two anal with a distinct white lunule speckled with grey 
scales ; a slender obsolescently decreasing black sinuous discal line extending from the 
costal vein to the lower median, the medial costal area slightly paler yellow. Under- 
side similar to that of the male. 
Expanse, d 3, to 3,4, ? 3,4 to 4 inches. 
Hasitat.—N.W. Himalayas ; Nepal. 
This species—compared with the type of Hierar—is a comparatively shorter 
insect, the forewing being less produced apically, and differs in having the inner 
edge of the black outer marginal band excurved (whereas in Hierar this band is 
broader and its inner edge is obliquely erect) ; the transverse discal sinuous line of 
Hemana is also further from the outer band, being three-tenths of an inch in width 
between the upper and middle medians (whereas in Hieraz it is not two-tenths); the 
whole underside is also of a much paler colour. 
DisrrisutioN.—Kollar’s specimens are recorded from Masuri. Specimens of 
both sexes, from Masuri, are in Messrs. Godman and Salvin’s collection, A female 
from the Uglar Valley, north of Landour, is in the British Museum. Mr. W. 
Doherty (J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, 124) records it from ‘‘ Kapot, on the Sarju, also 
from the Gori and Kali Valleys, Kumaon.” The type male is recorded from Nepal, 
and specimens of it, taken by the late General G. Ramsay, during his residency at 
the Court of Nepal, are in my own collection. 
Of our illustrations of this species on Plate 177, fig. 1, la, is from a Nepal male, 
identical with the type, and fig, 1b is from a Masuri female.
