212 NYMPHALIDyE. SATYRIN^. YPTHIMA. 



spot very faintly surrounded with ferruginous, and on the underside in having only one 

 subapical ocellus on the forewing, which is rather smaller than in the female. A large series 

 of the males collecied by Mrs. Bazett, at Goolmurg, in July at from 9,000 to 10,000 feet 

 elevation, have no trace of the black subapical spot on the upperside, being of an uniform 

 unspotted dark brown throughout. E. viaha appears to be common at Goolmurg, but with 

 the exception of the three specimens from the Pir.Punjal in the Indian Museum we have seen it 

 from no other locality. 



The figure is taken from the female specimen from the Pir Pinjal, and shows both upper 

 and undersides. 



201. Epinephele goolmurga, Lang. 



Epinephile goolmurga, Lang, Eiit. Month. Mag., vol. v, p. 36 (1868). 



Habitat ; Goolmurg, Kashmir. 



Expanse: i 6 inches. 



Description : "Female : Upperside dark brown, Forewing with two rather large black 

 spots, broadly encircled with pale ferruginous ; one subapical, the other near posterior angle. 

 Underside greyish-brown. Foreiving with discal portion ferruginous ; ocelli as above, but 

 with irides smaller, and with minute white pupils ; an indistinct streak closing the cell, and 

 beyond it a transverse discal line, angulated externally beyond the ocelli. Hindtviiig irregularly 

 and indistinctly tinted with fuscous, ferruginous, greenish and glaucous ; but a large, medial, 

 ferm^inous patch near base ; a curved discal series of seven irregular cuneiform spots, pale 

 yellowish ferruginous, and an incomplete submarginal series of small ocelli, black with yellow- 

 ish irides ; two below apical and two above anal, angle. Head, thorax, abdomen, palpi 

 and antennce, brown ; eyes ferruginous," {Lang, 1. c.) 



The MALE is unknown. E. goohmirga is evidently very closely allied to the preceding 

 species, E. maiza, but the type specimen which, so far as we know, is unique, differs from the 

 female of E. maiza to an extent which warrants its being kept distinct till more specimens 

 are obtained ; the differences are detailed in the description of E. maiza, female, which 

 precedes. The type specimen was taken by Dr. Jerdon at Goolmurg at 9,000 feet elevation.

"Body small ; wings rather large, entire, uniformly and plainly coloured ; the forewing 

 generally with a large ocellus near the apex. Head small, clothed with long hairs in front. 

 Eyes prominent, naked. Antenna: not half the length of the forewing, very slender, ringed 

 with white ; terminated by a very slender club, gradually formed, with the joints short, and 

 finely carinated beneath on the innerside. Palpi rather long, slender, acute at the tip, 

 porrected obliquely, straight, compressed ; the tip elevated to the level of the top of the eyes, 

 and extending forward further than the length of the head ; clothed beneath with long, 

 straight, divergent, slender, bristly hairs ; the terminal joint being but slightly hairy. Thorax 

 small, clothed in front with woolly hairs. Abdomen elongated, slender, rather thickened at the 

 tip in the jnales. Forewing large, elongated, triangularly-ovate ; costal margin well arched; 

 apex rounded ; outer margin entire, convex, about two-thirds of the length of the costal margin ; 

 inner margin nearly straight, three-fourths of the length of the costal one. Costal nervure 

 strongly swollen at the base. Subcostal nervure with its first branch arising just before the 

 anterior extremity of the cell ; the second, third, and fourth branches arising at equal distances 

 apart ; the second at a considerable distance beyond the cell. Upper disco-cellular nervule nearly 

 obsolete, arising at about half the length of the wing. Aliddle disco-cellular curved towards the 

 base of the wing. Lower disco-celhilar much longer, nearly continuous with the middle one, and 

 united to the third branch of the median nervure at a short distance beyond its origin. Median 

 nervure moderately [sometimes greatly] swollen at the base. Snbmcdian nervure simjile.
