* It is very doubtful whether this species belongs to the present genus. From Donovan's drawings referred to above the fore wings appear to be much more 

 rounded at the tip than in the other species of Nymphalis, whilst their inner margin is dilated, as in some species of Euploea. It may possibly be one of the 

 Satyridffi allied to Philoctetes.

 Nymphalis p. GodK 



Body very robust ; wings large, with a straight oblique bar running across all of them on the under side ; hind wings 



with a short tail, and with several ocelli near the anal angle beneath. 

 Head large, hairy, without a frontal tuft. 



Eyes very prominent, naked. 



Labial Palpi porrccted obliquely ; the tip elevated considerably above the level of the eyes. Terminal joint 

 slender and acute, extending in front of the iiead nearly as far as the length of the head. 



Antemun short, about two fiftlis of the length of the fore wings, nearly straight ; terminated by a very gradually 

 formed slender club, finely carinated beneath. 

 Thorax robust, woolly; metathorax hairy. 



Fore. Wijigs large, subtriangular. ^"eins strong. Fore margin much arched, finely serrulated. Apex rather 

 acute. Apical margin more or less emarginate, two thirds of the length of the fore margin. Inner margin 

 nearly straight, equal in length to the apical margin. Costal vein extending to the middle of the costa. 

 Postcostal vein with the first and second branches arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, 

 and both extending to the costa; the second joining it at about five sixths of the length of the wing; third 

 branch arising just beyond the extremity of the cell, and extending nearly to the apex of the costa; fourth 

 branch arising just beyond the third, at a little distance before the middle of the length of the wing, running 

 near the third branch lor a considerable distance, and then becoming slightly defiexed. Upper disco-cellular 

 extremely short, almost obsolete, arising at about the distance of two fifths from the base; middle disco-cellular 

 short, transverse ; lower disco-cellular transverse, much longer and curved, but slender, uniting with the third 

 branch of the median vein at a short distance beyond its origin, and thus closing the discoidal cell considerably 

 before the middle of the wing; this third branch much arched. 



Hind Winys subovate. Costal margin curved. Apical margin rounded, slightly scalloped ; the third branch of 

 the median vein extending into a short tail ; the first branch also extending into a more prominent lobe, 

 between wliich and the anal angle the margin is deeply emarginate. Veins strong. Precostal vein erect, 

 forked at the tip. Discoidal cell imperfectly closed by a very delicate disco-cellular veinlet, which is united 

 with the median vein between the first and second branches. 



Fore Legs of the male very delicate, and slightly brushed in Varanes ; mucli more thickly squamose in Decius. 

 The tarsus about half the length of the tibia. Fore Legs of the female slender, scaly, and scarcely longer than 

 those of the male in Decius ; but much longer, and still more slender, in Varanes. The tarsus two thirds of 

 the length of the tibia ; broadly dilated at the extremity into an oval compressed palette, the inner edge of
