SATYKID.E. — ARGYEONYMPHA. 



median nervure, and tapering to below the upper median nervule, where it dis- 

 appears ; its lower end is bordered within by a black blotch ; the second band 

 is ferruginous-tawny outside, above the lowest median nervule, and on the 

 inside, but not quite to the costa, straw-yellow ; between the lowest median 

 nervule and the submedian nervure it is black ; outside this is a longer silvery 

 stripe, extending to the submedian nervure, and slightly incurved on the costa ; 

 and this is followed by a ferruginous-tawny line, slightly varied with yellow, and 

 narrowly bordered with an interrupted black line on each side ; this is followed 

 by the buff fringes, and terminates towards the anal angle in a whitish spot, 

 followed by a black one. Posterior wings broadly greyish-white, shading into 

 yellowish towards the costa ; towards the end of the cell this terminates in -a 

 nearly straight ferruginous-brown stripe, followed by two equal silvery curves, 

 meeting and projecting outwards in the middle. These curves are nearly con- 

 tinuous with a broad silvery submarginal stripe, edged outside with a narrow 

 black line, and followed by a tawny stripe, and a black line at the base of the 

 grey fringes. The nervures on all the outer half of the wing are narrowly black. 

 The silvery curves on the basal side are more or less continuous with the sub- 

 marginal markings, dividing the interior of the outer half of the underside of the 

 hind wings into two nearly equal ovals. Towards the apex, the submarginal 

 tawny stripe, and the silvery band within it, curve round, forming an almost 

 closed oval, within which, between the subcostal nervules, is a black blotch, 

 followed by a tawny stripe outside edged below with silvery ; below these marks 

 the inner part of the oval is black, shading opposite the cell into brown ; outside 

 this is a conspicuous straw-coloured blotch, outside which are three black 

 blotches, more or less separated with straw-colour. The inner oval is filled up 

 with a very large black spot, slightly concave below, and enclosed above and on 

 the sides by a broad horse-shoe shaped stripe ; this is narrowly edged with 

 black, and enclosed on the inner side with rufous ; the upper and lower parts 

 are bordered with straw-colour within the silvery curves, from which the lower 

 part is separated by a ferruginous stripe. 



Antennae long, slender, banded with white below ; palpi very large, ascend- 

 ing, pale green, fringed with black hairs in front ; body greenish-brown above, 

 white below ; legs lined with black above.
