 wings have a purplish tinoe exteriorly. Wings slightly denti- 

 culated, with a straight oblique exterior band, which differs from 

 that of iV. disturbans in the following characters ; submarginal 

 lunules blackish, with glaucous exterior borders. Fore wings with 

 the band flesh-colour, as is also most of the wing between it and 

 the exterior border, its outer l)order interrupted by black, and 

 differing from that of N, disturbans by the much shallower angles 

 which it forms ; an interior blackish band much like that of N. dis- 

 turbans, but with its angle somewhat more obtuse ; ocellus much 

 like that of iV. disturbans, but with the hind border of the pupil 

 different in outline along its hind side. Hind wings with the band 

 like that of N. disturbans in colour, but with the fore angle hardly 

 perceptible. Under side of the fore wings with no trace of the 

 band, and with the yellow exterior marks lunate, much more slender

 whose costa they are obsolete. Length of the body 14 lines ; of the 

 wings 40 lines.
