Psyche 
[Sept-Dec. 
Neonympha dorothea dorothea n. subsp. 
Male: expanse of left fore-wing 20.9 (from base to end of 
Mj). Upperside: deep brown with lighter veins; some dark 
fulvous red scales just discernible in between them; cilia 
fuscous; dark fuscous androconial mark. Primaries very finely 
edged with fulvous; secondaries more broadly so, but only to 
about Cux from tornus, with four spots along termen: first one 
rather indistinct, in Cu x ; second and third subreniform, blotchy, 
blackish, in M 3 and M 2 ; and fourth, very weak, in M x ; a fine 
dark ray (interneural fold) through middle of each reaching 
the cilia from disc. Underside: primaries: flushed with deep 
warm red of Erebian (“ callias ”) tone over lower part; thickly 
dusted with yellowish brown and traversed by reddish brown 
striae over upper part; lines: chestnut brown; praeterminal 
consisting of very indistinct sequence of dots; small brown 
discal spot above M 2 near cell R-f Mon both wings, buttoning 
top of androconial mark in primaries (if viewed through wing). 
Secondaries: discally of darker shade of brown than subcostal 
and subapical areas of primaries; with some redder striae and 
a sprinkling of fluffy hoary scales basally; discal lines: deep 
chestnut brown; the first irregularly crossing cell R + M; the 
second from tornus following serrated (on Cu 2 ) but fairly 
direct course up to Cu x beyond which it strongly thickens and 
arches inversely to termen in M 3 -M 2 , then narrows again, 
abruptly turns outward as if to end at M 1? just above a roughly 
V-shaped basally pointed combination of two silver praetermi- 
nal dashes, but really swerves back again and up towards R s in 
which interspace it is almost concealed by a second V-pair of 
silver dashes which seems superimposed. Subterminal line from 
tornus arches inversely to termen in Cu 2 , dips terminally, then 
shoots up basally along middle of cell Cuj where it stops, 
forming a thickish chestnut brown bar which coincides with 
the terminal course of the interneural fold. A broad cinereous 
border heavily stippled with purplish black transverse striae, 
merged with the cinereous underside of the fringe and limited 
inwardly by the arches of the second discal and subterminal 
lines, occupies the whole outer third (excepting a vineleaf- 
shaped, as viewed from base, fulvous brown space between 
second discal and subterminal lines in Ci-C 2 ), thus completely 
enclosing the ocelli and other markings to be mentioned. Ex-
