NYMPH A LIX.E. (Group LIMEXITINA.) 35 



the discoidal band broad, extending well below the median vein, the end of the cell 

 anteriorly indicated by a prominent short black bar ; the discal band broad, in two 

 portions, the anterior has its onter edge even and regularly curved, its inner edge is 

 very irregular ; the veins entering the edge from that side being defined with black, 

 and almost dividing the band into three portions ; the lower discal portion of the 

 band consists of two parts, the anterior portion is rounded with a short narrow 

 anterior projection, the posterior is elongated and reaches the inner margin inwardly 

 obliquely ; a broad nearly even submarginal line slightly disconnected where it 

 is crossed by the upper median veinlet; a greatly disconnected series of indistinct 

 marginal spots. Eindwing with a recurved discal band from the costa to the 

 abdominal margin; the submarginal band very broad, broader than the discal, 

 interiorly attenuated and not quite reaching the costa, posteriorly ending on the 

 abdominal margin ; a narrow rather indistinct marginal line. Underside. Forewlinj 

 with the ground-colour and markings much paler than in upperside, some of the 

 latter almost white in the middle ; a narrow subcostal yellow streak ; the discoidal band 

 as above ; the discal band everywhere entirely crossed by the black veins ; between 

 this and the submarginal band there is a narrow yellow line which becomes obsolete 

 at about the middle of the wing ; the marginal lines as above. Eindiving with the 

 ground-colour even paler than in forewing, glossed throughout with pale shining 

 violet; the bands as above but very pale, almost whitish ; with an additional macular 

 pale band in the middle of the wing between the discal and submai'ginal bands ; in 

 the discoidal cell towards its base are two prominent round dark dots, the inner one 

 almost touching the subcostal vein, the outer one quite touching the second sub- 

 costal veinlet ; anterior to the last-named dot is an irregular dark bar, which 

 commences on the second subcostal veinlet, and ends on the costal vein." 



Male. Upperside; markings as in female, except that the marginal line on both 

 wings is less distinct, and the hindwing has a prominent broad satiny-white costal 

 border extending to below the second subcostal veinlet. Underside as in female.
