82 NYMPHALID^. 
the tip elevated to the level of the top of the e3'es, and extending forward further than the 
length of the head, clothed beneath with long, straight, divergent, slender, bristly hairs ; 
the terminal joint being but slightly hairy. 
" Thoiux small, clothed in front with woolly hairs. 
"■Fore wings large, elongated, triangularly-ovate. Costal margin well arched; apical angle 
rounded. Apical margin entire, convex, about two thirds of the length of the costal 
margin. Inner mai'gin nearly straight, three fourths of the length of the costal one. 
Costal vein strongly swollen at the base. Postcostal vein with its first branch arising just 
before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell : the second, third, and fourth branches 
arising at equal distances apart. ; the second at a considerable distance beyond the cell. 
Upper discooeUular vein nearly obsolete, arising at about half the length of the wing : 
middle discocellular curved towards the base of the wing: lower discocellular much 
longer, nearly continuous with the middle one, and uuited to the third branch of the 
median vein at a short distance beyond its origin ; this latter vein is moderately swollen at 
its base, the submedian vein being simple. 
" Hind innrjg triangularly-ovate. Costal margin rounded, as well as the outer margin, which is 
entire. Inner margin slightly emarginate towards the extremity. Costal vein extending 
to about two thirds of the length of the costa. Postcostal vein arising just opposite to the 
precostal one ; its branch arising at a considerable distance from the base. The u|)per 
discocellular vein arising at a short distance from the origin of the branch, oblique, slightly 
curved : outer discocellular longer, also oblique, and very slightly curved ; uniting with 
the third branch of the median vein at a little distance beyond its base. 
"Fore legs of the male extremely minute, hirsute, concealed among the hairs of the breast. 
Coxa long ; remainder forming a very small oval articulated mass, much shorter than the 
coxa. Fore legs of the female small, but (juite distinct, several times longer than those of 
the male, scaly, destitute of long haii-s. The tibia shorter than the femur. Tarsus about 
equal in length to the tibia, rather widened to the tip, articulated ; the tips of the joints 
beneath furnished with short spines. Claws wanliug. 
"Four Jtind legs scaly, moderately elongate and slender. The femur moderately clothed beneath 
with hairs. Tibise scaly, scarcely spined beneath ; tibial spurs long. Tarsi with longer 
spines on the sides beneath. Ungues strong, curved, entire. Paronychia minute. 
" Abdomkx elongated, slender, rather thickened at the tip in the males." ( Westwood, I. e.) 
Ypthima conjuncta. (Plate X. figs. 3 c? , 4 ? .) 
Ypthima conjuncta, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 66 (Sept. 1891). 
Male. Allied to Ypthima methora, Hewitson, but the outer margin is straighter ; the colour is 
slightly paler, and all the wings have a broad fuliginous border on the outer margin ; the 
basal half of the secondaries is darker, limited by a dentated dusky line ; the subapical 
ocellus of primaries has only one pupil, and is more oval in shape, and the yellowish iris is 
broad and suffused. On the under surface there are fewer undulated lines, and these are 
coarser, except on the inner area of secondaries, and more interrupted ; there is a broad 
olilique brownish band on primaries before the ocellus, and a straight broad line of the same 
colour beyond the ocellus ; four of the five ocelli on secondaries are united in pairs ; the fifth, 
placed at anal angle, is large and bipupillated.
