NYMPHALID^. — NYMPHALIN^. — APATUKA. 



The tawny colouring above the subcostal nervure is continued nearly to the 

 apex, and terminates in a fork ; below this point are two tawny spots. At the 

 extremity of the cell is a broad black bar, followed obliquely below by a brownish 

 space, and then by a large black spot above the lowest submedian nervure, 

 below which is a smaller black spot nearer the hind margin ; the inner margin 

 is brownish, especially towards the base. 



Posterior wings with moderately broad dark brown borders, marked with a 

 row of submarginal lunules ; the lower half of the wing is brownish, marked 

 with a black spot in a broad tawny ring near the anal angle, and with another 

 tawny spot above it. 



Underside. Anterior wings light tawny, shading into greenish towards 

 the apex ; the only distinct markings are two small white subapical spots, and 

 a large black submarginal spot above the lowest branch of the median nervure. 



Posterior wings greenish-tawny, slightly iridescent ; a dull tawny slightly 

 waved stripe runs from the middle of the costa to above the subanal ocellus, 

 which is black, with a blue pupil, and a paler inner and darker outer yellowish 

 iris ; the csntral stripe is edged outside on the costa with greenish-white, and 

 between it and the hind margin is a row of four rather suffused whitish spots ; 

 there is also a tawnv submarginal line. 



Body taw^ny above, more greenish beneath ; palpi tipped with black above, 

 antennae tawny, club black. Anterior wings subfalcate, deeply emarginate ; 

 posterior wings scalloped, and unusually produced at the anal angle.

This species, though apparently a true Apatura, has some resemblance to DiUpa Morgiana. 

 Westw. (a North Indian species) both in shape and colour.
