The first three species very closely resemble the last two of the preceding group in 

 which the underside has the bands unmottled, in colouration, and in their small size, but the 

 orange bands of the upperside are not so broad, while the orange marginal line of the forewing 

 is much more prominent. They have no trace of violet tinting on the underside.

Description: "Male and female. Upperside rich dark brown, with the following 

 orange-coloured markings : — Forewing with a large cellular streak much resembling that of N. 

 dittdinga, but sometimes more or less truncate at its apex ; this is followed by a subapical trans- 

 verse streak and two irregularly shaped spots, situated one on the area of the median nervules 

 and one on the inner margin ; a broad submarginal fascia, strongly sinuated and toothed interior- 

 ly, followed by a submarginal line of the same colour. Hindiving crossed by two broad 

 fasciae, one near base and the other near outer margin, and a submarginal line of the same 

 colour. Underside ochraceous, i\iQ forexving with a broad subcostal pale fuscous fascia, which 

 is obliquely deflexed beyond cell, and forms a large looped spot extending from costa to 

 third median nervule ; a pale fuscous fascia beneath cell, which forms an irregularly looped 

 spot beneath and attached to the other looped spot, and which outwardly extends to inner 

 margin ; a pale fuscous submarginal line and the outer margin broadly of the same colour. Hind'
