zi Lloyd's natural history. 



Mr. Trimen describes the larva of N. echeria as having five 

 pairs of divergent sub-dorsal filaments. It is black, with blue 

 and orange longitudinal stripes. The perfect insect has a 

 rather high, graceful, soaring flight, presumably somewhat like 

 that of Hestia. 



The species of Amauris and its allies are mimicked by 

 various species of Pa ft Mo, Hyftolimnas, &c, found in the 

 regions which they inhabit; but these can at once be dis- 

 tinguished from them by differences in the neuration, &c.

Nearest to JV. echeria, Stoll {Amauris echeria, Kirby, Syn. 

 Cat. Lepid., p. 8), but differing in the much greater extent of 

 yellow on the hind-wing. There is a row of unequal yellow 

 spots on the hind marginal border, extending to the sub median 

 nervure. The base of the hind-wing is deep brown. 



The fore-wing has a moderately large yellowish spot in the 

 middle of the discoidal cell, with a second larger oval spot 

 between the first and second median nervules. 



Between the radial or discoidal nervules there are two me- 

 dium-sized yellowish spots near the apical portion. At the apex 

 of the fore-wing there is a row of small white spots extending to 

 the hind margin, with four smaller white spots outside the 

 first row of spots, placed about the middle of the fore-wing. 

 Along the costal margin there are two white spots. The under 

 side of the fore-wing is of a lighter brown, having all the spots 

 plainly marked in white with the exception of the two larger 

 spots, which are yellow. 



The hind-wing is similar to the fore-wing, having the 

 yellow basal area quite as dark as on the upper bide, and the
