dark bronu. Underside as above. Cilia long, white, very broadlj- on the fore wiug, less so 
on the hind wing, marked with dark browu at the ends of the veins. Legs, palpi, and venter 
white." 
The above is Bittler's descriptiou of S. nympliidia, 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 thti latter locality in the 
collection of the late Otto Moller.

"Genus ah auglicis auctoribus cum Tcu-ila, Doubleday (T. fi/Ua, (??(/Y/a), confusum, capite minore, 
coUari distincto, antennis gracilioribus palpisque brevioribus dignoscendum." (Felder, I. c.) 
"Fore 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 reaching the apex of the whig ; discoidal cell broad, short, the 
diseocellular nervules being emitted at less than half the length of the wing from the base ; 
upper diseocellular ncrvulo wanting, middle andlower discoceUidars of equal length, together 
forming a complete arch, and the lower joining the median nervure after the origin of the 
second median nervule ; siibmedian nervure slightly sinuous. Hind wing subovate ; costal 
margin strongly arched at the base, thence nearly straight ; outer margin evenly rounded and 
slio-htly scalloped in the male, slightly angled at the termination of the third median nervule 
in the female (A. fi/Ila), more strongly scalloped and produced into a long tail at termination, 
of third median nervule (A. nco/thron and allies), or, least of all scalloped, but the wings 
stronglv angled at the third median nervule {A. ecJierhis and allies). Proecostal 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 oblique, disco- 
ceUular nervules of equal length in A. ccherius and allies, the upper shorter than the lower 
in A. ft/Ua and A. neophron and allies ; the lower diseocellular joining the median nervure 
after the origin of the second median nervule, almost in the same straight line in A. fylla and 
A. neonliron and allies, but forming an obtuse angle with the middle one in A. ecJienits and 
allies. Body somewhat small, head small, eyes hairy, antennie exactly half the length of the 
fore wing, distinctly annulated, with a distinct spatulate club, palpi miuute." (de Niceville, 
I.e.)
