NYMPHALIDyE. 



SIDERONE AND PAPHIA. 



SIDEROXE SYENE. 0. 



Upperside. Female rufous-orange, with crimson and brown towards the 

 outer margins. Anterior wing falcate, with two small transparent spots between the 

 median nervules and a row of lunular brown spots half way between them and the 

 outer margin. Posterior wing tailed, with a black line parallel to and at a short 

 distance from the margin. The outer margin and the tail ash-grey. 



Underside red-brown, tailed, posterior wing crossed obliquely by a line of black 

 from the middle of the costal margin to the tail, joined midway by a line of brown 

 commencing at the apex, and below it by two other similar parallel equidistant lines.

PAPHIA ELECTRA. 1, 2. 

 P. Electra. Westw. and Hevrits., Gen. Bier. Zej).,p. 319. 



Upperside. Male light rufous yellow, darker on the posterior wing, especially 

 towards the inner margin. Anterior wing falcate, the outer margin broadly bordered 

 with brown, the border deeply sinnated on its inner edge; costal margin crossed by 

 numerous minute black lines. Posterior wing with two tails, the outer margin 

 brown, narrow between the tails. 



Underside of an indescribable metallic silvery brown, closely undulated 

 throughout. Anterior wing with two darker transverse bands before the middle. 

 Posterior wing crossed obliquely by a narrow band of brown and white (from the 

 middle of the costal margin to the tail at the anal angle) joined midway by a second 

 band of black which commences at the apex, and lower down by a third band, which 

 proceeds from the outer margin a little below the apex, and at the tail by a fourth 

 band of white, which runs parallel to the outer margin between the tails. Both 

 wings with some minute black and white spots near the outer margin.

Some examples which I have seen since the accompanying illustration was completed have thi 

 tip of the anterior wing much more falcated. Mr. Westwood has aptly pointed out the near resem- 

 blance this species bears to Hjpna Clytemnestra.
