SATUENIA.— EUKABILA. 39 



deep reddish chocolate, with whitish fringes to the segments. Under surface similar to T. 

 repandum, but with the veins whitisii. Expanse of wings 91 niiilini. 

 § , Kangra valley ; from pupae spun in fern. 



We have what seems to be the male of this species in the Museum collection ; like the 

 female it is larger than the corresponding sex of T. robust am, the primaries being compara- 

 tively longer and nari'ower. The entire insect is greyer, darker, and more uniformly coloured. 

 T. iyniflua of Ceylon, the female of which much resembles that sex of T. castarwptera, may 

 be distinguished by its whitish abdomen and paler secondaries. The male is too dissimilar 

 to be confounded with that sex of the Kangra species, inasnmch as it closely resembles its 

 female.

Intermediate in character between S. anna and S. pavonia-minor : form of 5f. a7ina ; 

 coloration of S. jmvonia-minor $ , but without the white patches and borders ; the first 

 black-edged band of the primaries placed nearer to the base, the ocellus transversely 

 ovate; a brown nebula above and below the ocellus and a wliity-brown nebula beyond 

 it ; the two undulated black discal lines much more deeply sinuated ; a third, but less 

 sharply defined line inside the ordinary lines from inner margin to median vein; no 

 red spot below the variegated apical patch; ordinary submarginal line very slender and 

 more irregular than in S. pavonia-mitwr ; a second blacker line beyond it, limiting the 

 brown external border: secondaries with only one dusky stripe across the basal third, 

 ocellus coloured similarly to that of the primaries, paler than in the European species 

 and enclosing a prominent pure white lunule; area beyond the ocellus pink; discal and 

 submarginal lines differing somewhat as on the primaries : banding of abdomen obsolete. 

 The under surface differs much as above. Expanse of wings, <S 96 millim., 2 103 millim. 



Kulii. Cocoon under stones. 



The female is a little darker than the male.
