NYMPHALID^E. 



Upperside, S 2 , very dark olive-brown, paling to lighter brown 

 towards the termen ; both wings with complete or nearly complete 

 series of subterminal and terminal white spots, the former larger 

 than the latter, in the fore wing decreasing in size towards, and 

 curving inwards opposite, the apex ; in the hind wing elongate- 

 oval, much larger than the terminal spots, these latter very 

 regular, two in each interspace in the fore wing, obsolete towards 

 the apex. Underside of a paler olive-brown, the spots as on 

 upperside, with the addition m the fore wing of two to four discal 

 spots, that in interspace 2 the largest, and a small costal spot ; in 

 the hind wing of one or two discal specks. Antennae very dark 

 brown ; head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, the former two 

 speckled sparsely with white. 



Exp. c? $ 100-104 mm. (3-9-4-1"). 



Hob. Peninsular India in a line south of Bombay, but confined 

 to the littoral. Further east it is recorded from Orissa and 

 Bengal. 



Race sinhala, Moore. — <$ $ • Differs from the form kollari 

 solely in the subterminal and terminal spots on the wings being 

 very much smaller ; on the fore wing often obsolescent towards the 

 apex. 



Exp. c? 2 90-100 mm. (3-53-3-95"). 



Hab. Confined to Ceylon. 



The race seems constant.

S 2 • Typically resembles E. kollari, Eelder, in shape of wings 

 and in having on the upperside only a subterminal and terminal 

 series of white spots on both wings, but the basal portion of the fore 

 wing only, in it and in all its varieties, is glossed with blue, which 

 colour never extends to the termen. The centre of the hind wing 

 also in some specimens bears a faint violescent or blue gloss, while 

 the subterminal spots on the fore wing increase, not decrease, in size 

 towards the apex, the spot in interspace 6 being the largest ; the 

 spots above it again decrease in size to the costa. The terminal 

 spots on the hind wing are always smaller than in E. Jcollari, and 

 in the type ( $ ) there are two or three obsolescent elongate discal
