Melanthia casta. (Plate LIV. fig. 8.) 

 MelantMa casta, Butler, Ann. ^- Marj. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. i. p. 447 (1878). 



Nearly allied to M. albicillata, but larger; the markings more sharply defined and 

 blackish ; the macular subapical portion of the interrupted diseal stripe bifid, not trifid, and 

 therefore not united to the large costal patch ; discocellular spots black and well defined. 

 Wings below with darker markings, the macular diseal stripe well defined in the secondaries 

 as well as the primaries. Expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines.

 Melanippe inquinata, Butler, Ann. S,- Mug. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. i. p. 448 (1878). 



Closely allied to M. procellata of Europe, but larger ; the wings always more or less 

 suffused with grey, sometimes only enough to make them look sordid, but sometimes so dark 

 as almost to conceal the ordinary markings : pi-imarics with the basal dark patch broader, 

 and the dark outer border of twice the width. Expanse of wings 1 inch 7 bnes.
