NYMPHALID^. 
in front of the face to at least the length of the head, forming conjointly an elongate conical 
beak in front, densely scaly to the tip, the scales concealing the articulations, with a coat 
of hairs on the back of the middle joint, applied to the face. 
" TnoEAX elongate-ovate, very scaly ; ahdomen moderately robust, oval. 
"Fore ivings large, subtriangular. Fore margin very much rounded, slightly emarginate near 
the base. Apical angle more or less acute and produced. Apical margin five sixths of the 
length of the anterior, concave below the apex, but more or less concave or subangulated 
towards the posterior angle (especially at the extremity of the first branch of the median 
vein). The costal vein extends to the middle of the costa ; subcostal vein with two branches 
arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell ; each free and extending to the 
costa; third branch arising beyond the extremity of the discoidal cell, and extending to the 
tip of the wing, fourth branch arising at about five sixths of the length of the wing, and 
extending to the apical margin below the apex. Tipper discocellular vein very short, almost 
obsolete ; middle discocellular short, slightly curved and rather oblique, being directed 
towards the base of the wing ; outer discocellular slender, curved rather obliquely, the curve 
being towards the base of the wing, and uniting with the median vein just beyond the 
origin of its third branch, which is very much arched : the anterior extremity of the 
discoidal cell reaches just one third of the length of the fore wing, and its posterior 
extremity is somewhat shorter. 
"Hind wings elongate, subtriangular ; costal margin much arched iit the base, outer margin 
rounded, anal angle gradually produced into a tail, which is traversed by the submedian 
vein. Precostal vein oblique, curved outwardly at the tip : costal vein extending to the 
outer angle ; postcostal vein branching nearer the base than the median vein ; discoidal 
cell closed by a curved lower discocellular nervulo, rather before the middle of the wing. 
" Fore legs of the male small, pectoral, moderately hairy, but not forming a dense brush, slender; 
tarsus about two thirds of the length of the tibia, simple, exunguiculate : of the female 
longer than those of tlio male (especially the tarsus), slender, scaly ; femur with a row 
of short hairs on the inside, set on at right angles ; tarsus nearly as long as the tibia, 
dilated at tip, the inside of which is obliquely rounded off, and armed beneath with four 
pairs of short spines, indicating the articulations at the extremity, terminal joint very 
minute and simple. 
" Four hind legs moderately long, not very robust ; tibisc with two rows of very short spines 
beneath, tibial spurs short; tarsi armed beneath with four rows of small spines; ungues 
slender, very much curved." ( Westwood, I. c.)

" Upperside. Fore wing with broad fulvous band extending to outer margin. A sliort apical point 
in the male and a very prolonged one in the female ; the discal hyaline spot larger than in 
tlic other species [of Kallima}. Hind wing bright violet-blue, the outer 1)()rder paler, and 
j)romincntly marked with abort brown striga). Underside ochrcous-brown, vinous tinted.
