NYMPHALIN^. 
Under side. — Brownish-red^ as in Veronica, with some paler transverse 
striae ; beyond middle, as in Veronica, a transverse series of small 
whitish dots. 
The above description is adapted from Boisduval's brief diagnosis. In 
1867 the late Mr. W. C. Hewitson showed me a specimen which had been lent 
to him by Boisduval, and I noted at the time that it seemed to agree very fairly 
with the characters noted in the Appendix to Delegorgue's Voyage^ but had 
not an opportunity of fully describing it.^ The Veronica of Cramer {Pap. Exot.y 
iv. t. cccxxv., c, d), with which Boisduval compares J^J. coerulea, is a native of 
Western Africa, placed doubtfully in the genus Aterica by Westwood, and in 
the pattern of the under side having apparently some resemblance to H. Dceda- 
lus, Fab. ( = Meleagris, Cram.), with which, indeed, Hiibner associates it in his 
genus Hamaimmida.

Imago. — Head not quite so broad as thorax, hairy in front; eyes 
smooth ; palpi short, not or very slightly convergent, projecting for- 
ward, rising to about a level with top of head, — basal joint with a tuft 
of hair beneath, — second joint long, scaly, hairy superiorly and along 
inner edge, — terminal joint very short, scaly ; antcnnce of moderate 
length, with a well-marked but elongate sub-cylindrical club, blunt and 
rounded at its tip. 
Thorax robust, rather long, clothed with a fine close down, and 
finely hairy posteriorly (especially on back). Fore-wings : in $ sub- 
acuminate, in $ scarcely prominent, apically ; costa moderately arched ; 
hind-margin almost imperceptibly concave about middle, scarcely 
sinuate ; inner margin almost straight ; costal nervure strong, its 
extremity not far beyond middle ; first and second subcostal nervules 
originating near each other, before extremity of discoidal cell, — third 
one very short, originating not far from apex (where it terminates), — 
fourth extremely short, originating half way between base of third and 
apex (a little below which it terminates) ; upper disco-cellular nervule 
j exceedingly short, — second one short, oblique, strongly curved, — third 
long, well-developed, slightly angulated about its middle, joining third 
^ Hewitson [Exot. Butt., iii. p. 53, 1866) notes as follows, viz. : — " ^. ccerulea, of Bois- 
duval, which he has kindly lent me for comparison, resembles Veronica more closely than 
Tadema" [described by Hewitson as an Aterica], "and is also without the apioal white 
spots."
