NYMPHALIDJi;. 
the tip elevated to the level of the top of the eyes, and extending forward further than the 
length of the head, clothed beneath with long, straight, divergent, slender, bristly hairs ; 
the terminal joint being but slightly hairy. 
" Thorax small, clothed in front with woolly hairs. 
"Fore wings large, elongated, triangularly-ovate. Costal margin well arched; apical iinglo 
rounded. Apical margin entire, convex, about two thirds of the length of the costal 
margin. Inner margin nearly straight, three fourths of the length of the costal one. 
Costal vein strongly swollen at the base. Postcostal vein with its first branch arising just 
before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell ; the second, third, and fourth branches 
arising at equal distances apart ; the second at a considerable distance beyond the cell. 
Upper discocellular vein nearly obsolete, arising at about half the length of the wing : 
middle discocellular curved towards the base of the wing: lower discocellular much 
longer, nearly continuous with the middle one, and united to the third branch of the 
median vein at a short distance beyond its origin ; this latter vein is moderately swollen at 
its base, the submedian vein being simple. 
" Hind luings triangularly-ovate. Costal margin rounded, as well as the outer margin, which is 
entire. Inner margin slightly emarginate towards the extremity. Costal vein extending 
to about two thirds of the length of the costa. Postcostal vein arising just opposite to the 
precostal one ; its branch arising at a considerable distance from the base. The ui)per 
discocellular vein arising at a short distance from the origin of the branch, oblique, slightly 
curved : outer discocellular longer, also oblique, and very slightjly curved ; uniting with 
the third branch of the median vein at a little distance beyond its base. 
Fore legs of the male extremely minute, hirsute, concealed among the hairs of the breast. 
Coxa long ; remainder forming a very small oval articulated mass, much shorter than the 
coxa. Fore legs of the female small, but (juitc distinct, several times longer than tliose of 
the male, scaly, destitute of long hairs. The tibia shorter than the femur. Tarsus about 
e(inal in length to the tibia, rather widened to the tip, articulated ; the tips of the joints 
beneath furnished with short spines. Claws wanting. 
" Four hind legs scaly, moderately elongate and slender. The femur moderately clothed beneath 
with hairs. Tibiic scaly, scarcely spined beneath ; tibial spurs long. Tarsi with longer 
spines on the sides beneath. Ungues strong, curved, entire. Paronychia minute. 
"Abdomen elongated, slender, rather thickened at the tip in the males." (Westivood, I. c.) 
Ypthima conjuncta. (Plate X. figs. 3 , 4 ? .) 
Ypthimu conjuncta, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 66 (Sept. 1891). 
Male. Allied to Ypthima melhora, Hewitson, but the outer margin is straighter ; the colour is 
slightly paler, and all the wings have a broad fuliginous border on the outer mai-gin ; the 
basal half of the secondaries is darker, limited by a dentated dusky line ; the subapical 
ocellus of primaries has only one pupil, and is more oval in shape, and the yellowish iris is 
broad and suffused. On the under surface there are fewer Tuululaled lines, and these are 
coarser, except on the inner area of secondaries, and more interrupted ; there is a broad 
oblique brownish band on primaries before the ocellus, and a straight broad line of the same 
colour beyond the ocellus; four of the five ocelli on secondaries arc united in pairs ; Uic fittli, 
placed at anal angle, is large and bii)ui)illated.
