NTMPHALID^. 
Genus KAGADIA. 
Ragadia, Westwood^ Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 376 (1851). 
Distinguished from Neonympha by " the very singular arrangement of the 
veins of its wings, especially of the hind pair ; the lower discocellular vein 
being placed almost at the base of the vdng, and furnished with an elongated 
pouch in the males. The costal vein of the fore wing is alone swollen at the 
base." {Westwood, I. c.) 
Ragadia latifasciata. (Plate x. fig. 2, d .) 
Ragadia latifasciata, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 25 (1891). 
Male. The central area of primaries is traversed by a broad conical white fascia, the apex of 
which does not reach the costa, but the white colour extends slightly along the inner margin 
on each side of its base ; between fascia and base of wing are two pallid transverse bands, 
and there is a similar band before the outer margin ; neither of these is continued through 
to the costa. Secondaries have a broad white fascia before the middle of the wing, and an 
interrupted white submarginal band ; the paUid bands of primaries are continued, and there 
are some dusky round spots on the central area. Under surface brownish ; the transverse 
markings of all the wings are white, but those on the primaries approach nearer to the costa, 
and these wings have a white line on the outer mai'gin ; there are eight ocelli (black spots 
with silver centres and yellowish rings) on the primaries, and four on the secondaries ; of 
the latter the second is largo, oval, and bipupillated, — the fourth also has two pupils. 
Female. Similar to the male, but the inner margin is broadly white, as also is the lower portion of 
submarginal band ; the submarginal band of secondaries is broad and uninterrupted. 
Expanse, S 50 millim., 5 54 millim. 
Resembles Ragadia crisilda, Hewitson, on the under surface. 
This seems to be a rare species, as I have only received a few specimens 
from Moupin, where they were taken in July.
