S . Very closely resembles N. doubledayi, but on the fore wing 

 the ochraceous-orange colour is darker and covers the whole of 

 the wing up to the discal lunular band, extending beyond it, below 

 vein 4, to the terminal black margin, interrupted only by the black 

 markings. On the hind wing the ochraceous colour occupies the 

 cell, extending beyond it in interspaces 2 to 6, up to the black on 

 the terminal third of the wing. Female unknown. 



Exp. d 82-100 mm. (3-24-3-94").

c? 2 • Fore wing broadly triangular ; costa evenly arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen and dorsum nearly straight, tornus rounded ; cell 

 closed, a little under half length of fore wing ; upper discocellular 

 minute, middle very little less than lower, deeply concave, lower 

 slightly concave ; vein 3 from just before lower apex of cell, 1 

 and 11 free. Hind wing subquadrate, costa nearly straight, apex 

 rounded; termen arched, scalloped, tornus rounded, dorsum arched; 

 cell closed, comparatively long ; veins 3 and 4 from lower apex of 

 cell ; the discocellulars oblique ; vein 7 nearer 6 than 8, vein 8
