NYMPHALID.E. — NYMPHALIX.E. TANAECIA. 



middle by a pure white band. On the anterior wings the band on the costa is 

 only represented by a narrow short line ; thence to the inner margin the band 

 gradually widens ; the veins across the band brown ; a very indistinct, some- 

 what cm-ved, white line between the subcostal nervules halfway between the 

 band and the apex ; the cell is crossed by five black lines, the two outermost 

 nearly joining each other on the median nervure ; between the lowest median 

 uervule and the siibmedian nervure, near the base, touching the cell at their 

 upper ends, are two transverse black lines crossed at their lower ends by a 

 similar line ; a small black spot below the cell, between the lowest and middle 

 median nervules ; a submarginal row of indistinct, rather large black spots. 

 On the posterior wings the band gi-adually tapers towards the anal angle, where 

 it slightly curves outwardly ; the outer edge of the band is slightly indented ; 

 and there is an indistinct submarginal row of round black spots. 



" Underside. The band as above ; pale brown inside the band, and darker 

 beyond it ; the band is edged on Ijoth sides with dark brown markings ; the 

 subapical, indistinct, curved white line on the upperside is represented by two 

 white spots near the costa, and indistinct whitish-brown markings inside the 

 submarginal row of dark brown spots ; the lines across the cell, and beneath it, 

 as above. 



" Posterior wings brownish-grey between the band and the base, with 

 numerous brown markings ; the area beyond the band is pale brown, with a 

 submarginal row of dark brown spots capped with whitish hnniles, above which 

 is a series of lunular brown markings ; the outer portion of the band above the 

 latter narrowly grey." (H. G. S., loe. cit.)
