NYMPHALID^E. NYMriIALIN.E. EUTIIALIA. 19* 



S. cyanipardus is the largest species of the genus and indeed one of the largest species 

 in the subfamily. Mr. Wood-Mason took it in Cachar during the summer, Mr. S, E. Peal 

 has obtained it at Sibsagar in Upper Assam, Mr. J. L. Sherwill at Jorehat also in 

 Assam, and there are specimens in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, from Sylhet and the 

 Khasi Hills. 



The figure shows the uppersides of a male and of a female from the Khasi Hills in the 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta.

" Body, more or less robust ; antennae long and straight ; wings large, generally of dull 

 colours, with narrow, irregular, dark marks in the discoidal cell. Head, wide, scarcely tufted 

 in front ; eyes, large, prominent, naked ; anhnncB, of very great length, slender, filiform at the 

 base ; beyond the middle very gradually incrassated to a long, cylindrical, abruptly terminated, 

 slightly curved club, having two very slender raised lines on the underside, with an impression 

 between \.\x&m; palpi, small, very slightly projecting beyond the head, and elevated to the 

 level of the middle of the eyes; second joint lengthened, and apparently increasing in breadth 

 exteriorly, in consequence of the ridge of Jiairs on its upperside, beyond the middle ; third 

 joint very minute ; palpi of the males larger than those of the females ; hanstelhim, spiral, 

 of moderate length, robust, compressed towards the extremity, and provided with lateral 

 spreading cilia. Thorax, more or less robust, clothed with woolly hairs ; whigs generally of 

 large size, with moderately strong veins. Abdomen, variable in size and thickness, according 

 to that of the thorax. Forewing, somewhat triangular, with a lengthened, boldly curved 

 casta ; apex generally but slightly rounded ; outer margin variable, but generally a little 

 emarginate in the middle, and scarcely scalloped ; nearly three-fourths of the length of the 

 costal margin ; inner margin about as long as the outer one, nearly straight ; costal nervure 

 strong, reaching a little beyond the middle of the costa ; subcostal nervure with the first and 

 second branches arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, third branch arising 

 at a liltle distance beyond, or sometimes close to, the extremity of the discoidal cell, and 

 the fourth branch arising at about four-fifths of the length of the wing ; vppcr disco-cellular 

 nervnle extremely minute and almost obsolete, arising from the subcostal nervure at about 

 one-third of the length of the wing ; middle disco-cellular short, curved, and directed towards 

 the base of the wing ; lotoer disco-cellular obsolete in the typical species, so that the discoidal 

 cell is open ; median nervure strong, its third branch moderately curved. HlNDWlNG, rounded, 

 slightly acuminated at the anal angle in the males of some species, slightly scalloped along 

 the outer margin ; costal margin slightly rounded ; prcscostal net viire curved outwards ; sub- 

 costal nervure branching near its base ; upper disco-cellular nervnle forming the scarcely curved 

 base of the discoidal nervnle ; lo-dier disco-cellular [usually] wanting, so that the narrow discoidal 

 cell is [usually] open. FORELEOS.of the male very short and slender; femur clothed beneath with 

 long divergent hairs ; tibia nearly as long as the femur, thickly clothed with downy hairs ; tarsus 

 consisting of a single elongated attenuated joint, covered with a dense uniform down. Of the 

 fe?nale scaly, with the first joint of the tarsi greatly elongated, the three following short, the 

 last abruptly terminated, with several pairs of spines beneath, indicating the three interme- 

 diate joints through the scales of the limb. Middle and hindlegs, moderately long, the 

 middle pair in the male with the fanur nearly one-fourth longer than that of the hindlegs, 

 thickly scaly ; middle tibia of the male with a thick coat of very short scaly hairs near the 

 base beneath, and with two rows of short thick spines in all the tibice ; tarsi considerably
