NYMPH ALINiE. 265 



beyond cell, as far as third median nervule, and a small, short stria 

 (sometimes a mere dentation) near the end of the band ; from inner 

 margin, before middle, an oblique irregular marking, emitting an 

 upward sharp projection which all but meets the middle disco- cellular 

 stria, and ending abruptly in a broad subquadrate portion which 

 superiorly touches origin of third and second median nervules ; a 

 short, narrow, black line along third median nervule connects this 

 irregular marking with the angulated transverse bar emitted by costal 

 band beyond extremity of cell ; a moderately wide or rather narrow 

 submarginal band, from inner margin to lower radial nervule, inwardly 

 denticulated on nervules, outwardly united by five black nervular rays 

 to a narrow black hind-marginal edging traversed by a whitish line ; 

 end of costal band and of its almost terminal short ray or denta- 

 tion also united to hind-marginal edging by four black nervular rays, 

 much longer than the five lower ones. Hind-wing : an irregular basal 

 patch, externally dentate and somewhat excavate, not running along 

 costa, but emitting two sharp denticulations to it ; a little before 

 middle a transverse row of four or five small spots, from near upper 

 extremity of basal patch to near inner margin ; a rather broad sub- 

 marginal band (continuous of, but wider than, that of fore-wing), in- 

 wardly denticulate, and outwardly united by nervular black rays to a 

 hind- marginal edging rather broader than that of fore- wing, so that 

 seven rather large elongate spots of the ground-colour are enclosed. 

 Cilia fuscous, with conspicuous white inter-nervular spots. Under 

 SIDE. — Paler, duller ; hind-ioing vnth strongly -contrasted transverse lands, 

 very variable. Fore-wing : costal band wanting, but its rays and cellu- 

 lar striae (of which latter the middle one commences on costa) present, 

 narrower, not so black, with here and there some whitish edging; 

 inner marginal and submarginal markings also much attenuated ; 

 apical area crossed by a transverse quadrimacular white ray ; hind- 

 marginal edging very narrow, the traversing streak being pure white 

 and conspicuous ; a small black spot at base of discoidal cell. Hind- 

 wing : varies from jjale dull yelloiv-ochreous to dec]) ferruginous ; always 

 two pale-creamy or whitish transverse bands, one near base bordered 

 on both sides by a macular black stria, the other median, bordered 

 inwardly by black spots, and outwardly by a fuscous line ; black sub- 

 marginal band very much narrowed, containing seven pairs of small 

 white inter-nervular spots ; upper part of ground-colour spots between 

 this band and the hind-marginal border either creamy or whitish, 

 giving the effect of a third pale transverse band ; pure-white travers- 

 ing streak of black hind-marginal edging broken into seven pairs of 

 inter-nervular elongate spots ; a small white- edged black spot marks 

 upper angle of extremity of discoidal cell : in the ferruginous-tinted 

 specimens, both the submarginal and hind-marginal white-spotted black 

 bands are partly or wholly obliterated. Cilia as above, but brownish- 

 fuscous replaces the black.
