214 NYMPHALID^, NYMPHALIN^E. EUTIIALIA. 



Description: "May be distinguished by the male liaviiig the upprrside dark olive 

 green, with a pinky tinge broadly on anterior margin of hindioin^, and by the deep greenish 

 grey of the i;ndersiue, and having a greenish gloss over the anterior half of the wings ; 

 also an indistinct white patch at and near the apex [of the /orewing\. The female by the 

 very broad whitish band of the UPPERSIDE of the foewing, and by the glaucous white 

 UNDERSIDE, and ochreous marking." (Moore, 1. c. in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond.) 



E. alphcda has been recorded from India by the various authors given above, but its 

 occurrence within our borders must, I think, be considered doubtful. From Mr. Moore's figure 

 the male appears to be very closely allied to E. jama, but lacks the white markings on 

 both sides of the forevving ; the description of E. jama given by Mr. Distant would appa- 

 rently almost apply to this species. The female is very different from that sex of E. jama, 

 having a broad white discal band across the forewing enclosing a dark spot in the second 

 median interspace, an<l bifurcated above the lower discoidal nervule. The discal bands of the 

 hiudwing are wider apart, the space between them paler than the ground-colour.

Description : " Male. Upperside dark brown, with a vinaceous tinge. Foieiuiitg 

 with a paler transverse band, margined broadly on both sides with black, the anterior portion 

 within, from costal margin on both sides, with a series of small white patches ; marks within 

 discoidal cell black, with dark brown centres. Hindwing with an inner blackish band and 

 outer row of small black spots. Underside paler, marked as above. Female. Upper- 

 side pale brown, foreimng with broad whitish curved transverse band, with patch on costa, 

 and dark margins. Hindwing with rather broad inner band, and outer zigzag line, the 

 point between each vein with a minute darker dot ; space between inner band and base tinged 

 with white ; marks at base of wings blackish. Underside pale dull ochreous, with paler 

 margins ; markings as above, but very indistinct." {Moore, 1, c. in Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. C.) 



This species is unknown to me. I include it on Mr. Butler's identification, but its 

 occurrence in India is extremely doubtful. He says of it that "the anal angle of the hindwing 

 varies slightly in different individuals of the male,"
