 EURYPHENE VII. 



EURYPHENE AMICIA. 27, 28. 



Upperside. Male, rufous. Both wings crossed transversely by four bands of 

 dark brown ; the first band at the middle ; the second broadest at the costal margin 

 of the anterior wing, indistinct on the posterior wing; the third composed of oval 

 spots ; the fourth submarginal, linear, and undulated ; the outer margins brown. 

 Anterior wing with two lines and a spot bordered with black, within the cell, and 

 a second spot bordered with black at the end of the cell. 



Underside as above, except that the bands and spots are nearly the same colour 

 as the rest of the wing, that both wings arc crossed beyond the middle by a series of 

 minute black spots crowned with white, reaching on tin' anterior wing from the 

 costal margin to the middle : that the posterior wing has a subbasal black spot, 

 and a larger black spot on the middle of the first transverse band, which is here 

 linear and black : the outer border of the transverse band and the anal angle grey.
