KYMPHALID.E. — NYMPHALIS^. XEPTIS, 



Male. Upperside greyish-black. Anterior wings crossed towards the 

 apex by a row of three wiiite spots j^laced obhquely, the first near the costa 

 huear, the second and third subquadrate. On the disc is a transverse broad 

 band of confluent white spots : the uppermost, between the two upper median 

 nervules, subovate ; the lowest, on the inner margin about its middle, is 

 elongate inwardly towards the base. Between these rows of spots and the 

 outer margin is a row of small whitish spots, those towards the apex the whitest, 

 Ijordered on each side with indistinct bars darker than the rest of the wings ; 

 there is an indistinct pale streak in the cell. On the posterior wings is a very 

 broad white band, which crosses the disc and cell at about its middle ; half-way 

 between the band and the outer margin is an indistinct paler brown line, 

 bordered on each side with indistinct darker brown bars ; cilia of both wings 

 between the veins narrowly white. 



UxDEPvSiDE chocolate-brown, with the markings as on the upperside. On 

 the anterior wings the submarginal row of small spots is more distinct, and the 

 white subapical and discal bands are bordered outwardly by indistinct sinuate 

 pale lines ; along the lower part of the cell is a basal white line, followed at the 

 end of the cell by a narrow subtriangular white spot ; there are two submarginal 

 rows of white lines, one in the middle, the other at the posterior angle, bordered 

 outwardly with grey scales. On the posterior wings the shoulder is broadly 

 white, followed by a white streak which crosses the basal part of the cell and 

 extends on either side of the first subcostal nersiile ; outside the white discal 

 Ijand is a continuous row of white bars following the contour of the wings, with 

 a narrow, rather short, white hne above it, commencing on the inner margin, 

 and a submarginal band of narrow white lines. 



The female resembles the male, but is rather larger.
