NYMPHALIN/E. 257 



for a considerable distance from base, curved upward rather abruptly 

 towards extremity, and terminating about middle of costa ; first and 

 second subcostal nervules originating rather close together, just before 

 extremity of discoidal cell, — third at a considerable distance beyond 

 cell, and terminating at apex ; discoidal cell very short ; upper disco- 

 cellular nervule minute, almost obsolete, — middle one short or very 

 short and curved inwardly, — lower one very long and attenuated, 

 very slightly curved, ending at origin of third median nervule. Hind- 

 wings : with costa prominently humped near base, but thence nearly 

 straight ; apex rather pronounced ; hind-margin more dentate than 

 in fore- wings, especially towards anal angle slightly prominent ; groove 

 formed by inner margins shallow, incomplete, leaving much of lower 

 side of abdomen exposed ; costal nervure running close along costa to 

 apex ; radial nervure originating not far from base, just beyond the 

 branching of subcostal nervules ; discoidal cell extremely short, nar- 

 row, — the lower disco- cellular nervule exceedingly slender or obsolete 

 altogether. Fore-legs of $ very small, slender, scaly, set rather 

 scantily throughout with longish hairs ; of $ larger, smoother, with 

 scarcely any hairs, the tarsus dilated and spinose beneath at ex- 

 tremity. Middle and hind legs stout, rather short, scaly, — femora 

 fringed with fine hairs beneath, — tibise finely spinulose beneath, with 

 terminal spurs very short, — tarsi rather thickly armed with minute 

 spines laterally and beneath. 



Abdomen slender, rather short. 



Larva. — Head with two long, erect, curved, spiny horns ; body 

 with dorsal and lateral tubercular processes bearing at extremity radiat- 

 ing bristles. 



Pupa. — Head acutely bifid ; wing-covers not only prominently angu- 

 lated at bases, but sharply angulated and extended flatly outwardly ; 

 back rather gibbous ; abdomen slightly curved, bifid at extremity. 



[The above characters of larva and pupa are taken from drawings 

 of Natalian specimens of U. Hiarhas reared by Captain Harford and 

 Mr. Gooch. Except for the very long branched horns on the head, the 

 larva recalls those of Lime nit is and Neptis ; and the pupa only exhibits 

 in an exaggerated form the extended wing-covers of the chrysalis of 

 the latter genus, — to judge from the figure of that of Neptls Varinona, 

 Moore (Lej). Ceylon, i. pi, 28, f, iZ*,)] 



The long and very porrect palpi, and the simple instead of swollen 

 median nervure, at once distinguish Eurytcla from Crenis, apart from 

 the less apparent characters (especially the dilated fore-tarsi of the $ 

 and the peculiar neuration of both wings) mentioned in the above 

 diagnosis. The genus is mainly Ethiopian, five species being recorded 

 from the African Continent and two others from Madagascar ; but two 

 or three are known to inhabit the Indo-Malayan Sub-Region.^ 



1 Mr. Wallace {Trans. EnL Soc. Lond., 1869, p. 331) states his belief that two of these 

 latter, Boisduval's JIorKjiddii and Stephensii, from Java, are <J and 9 of one species,
