darkbrowu. Underside as above. Cilia long, white, very broadly on the fore wing, less so 
on the hind wing, marked with dark brown at the ends of the veins. Legs, palpi, and venter 
■ white." 
The above is Butler s description of S. nymphidia, as emended by de 
Niceville, 
Common at Moupin and Omei-shan, Western China, in July. 
De Niceville gives the distribution of" this species as Penang, Naga and 
Khasi Hills, and Bhutan. There is a series from the latter locality in the 
collection of the late Otto Moller.

" Genus ab auglicis auctoribus cum Tcucila, Doubleday {T. fi/lla, (hirga), confusum, capite minore, 
collar! distinct©, antennis gracilioribus palpisque brevioribus dignoscendum." (Felder, I. c.) 
•Tore wing triangular ; costal margin gently arched ; outer margin straight or slightly convex ; 
inner margin nearly straight, equal in length to the outer margin ; apex pointed. Costal 
nervure short, reaching the middle of the wing ; subcostal giving off its first and second branches 
close together before the end of the cell, the third nearer to the origin of the fourth than to the 
end of the cell, the fourth reachiug the apex of the wmg ; discoidal cell broad, short, the 
discoccUular nervules being emitted at less than half the length of the wing from the base ; 
upper discocellular ncrvulo wanting, middle andlower discocellulars of equal length, together 
forming a complete arch, and the lower joining the median nervure after the origin of the 
second median ncrvule ; submedian nervure slightly sinuous. Hind wing subovate ; costal 
margin strongly arched at the base, thence nearly straight ; outer margin evenly rounded and 
slightly scalloped in the male, slightly angled at the termination of the third median nervule 
in the female (A. fijUa), more strongly scalloped and produced into a long tail at termination 
of third median nervule {A. mojihron and allies), or, least of all scalloped, but the wings 
strongly angled at the third median nervule {A. eclierius and allies). Prfficostal nervure simple, 
curved outwardly, costal nervure short, reaching the middle of the costa, the subcostal nervules 
bifurcating beyond the end of the cell, discoidal cell long and broad, the apex obli(iue, diseo- 
cellular nervules of equal length in A. echerius and allies, the iqjper shorter than the lower 
in A. fy 11 a and A. neop7i7-on and allies; the lower discocelhdar joining the median nervure 
after the origin of tlie second median nervule, almost in the same straight line in A. fylla and 
A. neophron and nllies, but forming an obtuse angle with the middle one in A. cchcriiis and 
allies. Body somewhat small, head small, ey<)s hairy, antenna) exactly half the length of the 
fore wing, distinctly utinulated, with a distinct spatulato club, palpi minute." (de Niceville,
