5 2 • Closely resembles N. hilda, but differs chiefly as follows : — 

 Upperside : ground-colour darker ; fore wing with the oblique band 

 whiter, much broader, extending into the upper third of the cell, 

 and narrowing towards the tornus ; discocellulars marked with 

 brown. Hind wing broadly caudate at apex of vein 4 ; apex and 

 cilia white not yellow. Underside : the disc and posterior portion 

 of hind wing powdered with lilacine grey not yellow scales, the 

 ocellus in interspace 2 larger and more distinct. 



Exp. S $ 114-128 mm. (4-5-5-05").

This insect was confounded with a Javan species N. chrishna, 

 Westw., from which it can be distinguished at once by being 

 larger and by the very much broader tail to the hind wing.

6 $ . Upperside very dark vandyke-brown. Fore wing with an 

 oblique yellow band, with irregular margins, reaching from the costa 

 above apex of cell, nearly to the tornus ; a large black ocellus, faintly 

 centred paler, in interspace 5 ; a white spot above and another 

 smaller one below it. Hind wing : the terminal and costal 

 margins near the apex somewhat narrowly yellow ; cilia yellow. 

 Both wings with faint, somewhat broad, pale subterminal and 

 terminal incomplete lines. Underside : ground-colour similar, with 

 a powdering of yellowish scales towards the dorsal margin of the 

 hind wing. Fore wing with the yellow oblique band, black ocellus, 

 and white spots as on the upperside; the ocellus white-centred 

 and fulvous-ringed, w ? ith an outer ring of black. Hind wing with 

 yellow markings as on the upperside, a preapical ocellus similar to 

 the ocellus on the fore wing, and very much smaller, similar, 

 somewhat obsolescent ocelli in interspaces 2, 3, and 4. Both wings 

 with two subterminal lunular dark lines, bordered by lilacine on 

 the inner side and between the lines towards the tornus of the 

 hind wing. Antennae rufescent brown ; palpi with a yellow stripe 

 on the sides ; head, thorax and abdomen dark vandyke-brown. 



Exp. <$ 2 96-104 mm. (3-75-4-1").
