EURYPHENE PHANTASIA. 9, 10, 11. 



Upperside. Male brown crossed by several obscure bands of darker brown. 

 Anterior wing with some indistinct spots in and below the cell ; crossed obliquely 

 near the apex by a band of orange yellow. Posterior wing crossed by four 

 obscure bands of dark brown. 



Underside green clouded. Anterior wing with the band as above, but with 

 its upper half white : the base and a spot at the apex also white. Posterior wing 

 with some very indistinct bands and spots of brown, and a small lilac-white spot 

 before the middle of the costal margin. 



Female dark brown. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle by an oblique 

 irregular band of orange yellow marked by two or three ill-defined black spots ; the 

 apex white : a spot of blue on the inner margin, below the middle. Posterior wing 

 crossed at the middle by a curved band of blue, in continuation with the blue spot of 

 the anterior wing. On the underside it does not differ from the male, except in 

 having a small white spot within the cell of the anterior wing, and a similar spot 

 (bisected by the first discoidal nervure) on the posterior wing. Both of these spots 

 are indicated (but scarcely visible) in the male.
