KYMPHALm.E. 211 



in its central portion ; near apex, on costa, a narrow, pale-yellow, 

 transverse streak joins the large ochre-yellow marking, the point of 

 junction being marked by a more or less apparent black spot, which is 

 sometimes indistinctly ocellate ; bordering apical portion of hind-margin 

 three or four sublunular, dusky-Avhitish marks ; cilia brownish, indis- 

 tinctly varied with whitish. Hind-iving : a large, rounded, metallic- 

 blue spot shot with violet-pink near costa about middle, its lower 

 portion in discoidal cell, its upper edge touching costal nervure ; beyond 

 it, occupying anal-angular portion of wing, extending along hind-margin 

 to before its middle, and almost to middle of inner margin, a large, 

 ovate, ochre-yellow patch, paler in its central portion ; at anal angle, a 

 curved, short, blackish streak, and traces of a lunulate hind-marginal 

 line ; cilia as in fore-wing. Under side. — Strikingly dissimilar to 

 upper side. Fore-icing : black replaced by dull ashy-grey ; ochre- 

 yellow patch paler, ill-defined, commencing from base in discoidal cell ; 

 costa whitish-grey from base ; two pairs of slightly zigzag, transverse, 

 thin, black streaks in discoidal cell, each pair including a whitish-grey 

 space ; a sinuate blackish streak, from costa about middle to insertion 

 of second median nervule, marks extremity of cell ; apex hoary-grey ; 

 the streak joining ochreous patch from costa whitish, — the spot mark- 

 ing point of junction distinct ; a blue-pupillate, round, black spot 

 marks the lower indentation of the ochreous patch. Hind-wing : hoary- 

 gi'ey ; three transverse, brownish, waved, subdentate streaks — one 

 before, the second about, the third beyond, middle — the second of 

 which is the most distinct and regular ; between the latter and the 

 third a series of small blackish spots between nervules, parallel to 

 hind-margin ; ochreous patch very faintly indicated by a slightly 

 yellowish tinge ; centre and hind-margin varied with narrow shadings 

 of pale- brown ; in some specimens, a narrow, lunulate, brown streak 

 bordering hind-margin ; no trace of the blue spot so conspicuous on 

 upper side. 



$ Ground-colour not so intense a Hack as in $ ; the blue spot 

 in hind-ioing smaller and much duller {the edges of it not so clearly 

 defined). Fore-tving : basal half of discoidal cell dusted with ochreous 

 scales, and with a short, indistinct, transverse, ochreous streak, situate 

 a little within the large ochre-yellow patch ; which latter commences 

 farther from base than in $, does not extend so low, is more deeply 

 indented with black both on its upper and lower edge, and contains a 

 transverse black streak which, as on under side of ^, indicates extremity 

 of discoidal cell ; the ocellate spot marking the junction of pale apical 

 streak with ochreous patch more distinct than in ^, and blue-pupilled ; 

 the lower black indentation of the ochreous patch is also marked with 

 a larger ocellate spot, likewise blue-centred. Hind-wing : two small 

 black spots, sometimes blue-centred, in ochreous patch, one on its upper 

 edge above discoidal nervule, the other between second and first median 

 nervules ; the lunulate streak bordering hind-margin distinctly marked.
