N. moriola Swh. Like macrops. Antemedian line of forewings ends on inner margin with 2 conjoined moriola. 
rings. Ground colour is paler, not so heavily suffused with blue as macfarlanei. $ 130 mm. Amboina. 
N. oxdoxia Swh. Still paler ochreous brown than moriola. The undulate outer lines of forewings are oxdoxia. 
more widely separated than in macrops. Submarginal line of hindwings is not so distinctly double. 140—150 mm. 
Solomon Islands. 
N. ipsa Swh. Paler and somewhat smaller than macrops. Genitalia differ. 125—130 mm. Ceylon. ipsa. 
H indwings o f d normally developed. 
N. maurus Gaede (4G cl). Wings unicoloured dark brown, no transverse lilies. Ocellus less prominent maurus. 
on the dark ground. On underside of both wings there is an outer row of dots in the usual form. $ 70—76 mm. 
Wetter, Alor, Sumbawa. 
N. orcina Fldr. (45 d). Forewings dark brown with faint violet sheen. The dark ocellus has blue scales orcina. 
in lower part. A yellow spot below costa near apex. Hindwings devoid of markings. On underside the apical 
patch is white. A fine dark submarginal line is indicated. On hindwings a small yellow streak anteriorly at the 
fine submarginal line. In 4 §$> that probably belong here, the edge of the ocellus is outwardly diffuse ochreous 
brown, prolonged inwardly to costa. On underside in 3 specimens the apical spot is also yellow. Other markings 
absent. No apical spot on hindwings. $ 110 mm, from Celebes; $ 95mm. Batjan, Halmahera. 
N. felderi E. Prout (50 c). Only the $ is known and it is as large as orcina 3- Wings dark brown, felderi. 
An excurved antemedian line is indicated. Ocellus similarly formed to that of leucotaenia Gn. There are traces 
of a vertical undulate median line from proximal edge of ocellus to inner margin. Subapical spot small, round 
white. A row of ochreous brown submarginal spots is indicated, similar to those of leucotaenia. On hindwings 
the curved median line and the straight outer line are just as indistinct. Submarginal line delicate ochreous 
brown, black outwardly, interrupted, similar to leucotaenia, but not so heavily excurved at vein 3. On under¬ 
side the interrupted submarginal line of both wings is white, dentate and more irregular than in orcina q. One 
115 mm. Ceram. — seistosticha E. Prout. The $ has a somewhat smaller ocellus on forewings. The white seistosticha. 
subapical spot of both wings is larger than in felderi, on hindwings a few submarginal spots follow in sequence. 
On underside the subapical spot of forewings is small, large on hindwings. The 3 has woolly androconica patches 
covering both wings to beyond the centre. Transverse lines are absent. Ocellus moderately distinct, with 
outer brownish edge, instead of white as in the The white subapical spot is absent on upperside of hind¬ 
wings. On forewings it is large in the first 3 specimen, smaller and more yellowish in the second. The under¬ 
side is devoid of markings, except for the subapical spot on forewings. Two 3<$, 116-H30mm. Burn. - 
As so far only very few specimens of orcina, felderi and seistosticha are known, it is impossible to say whether 
these are races or merely forms found in all the localities in which it occurs. 
N. albicinctus Kohl, is also found in W. China and was therefore dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 322, pi. 59 a. albicinclus. 
The main localities for this species, that is so striking and distinct by its white submarginal line, are in India 
and Formosa. In Vol. Ill, Warren has already denominated the form obnubilata, that denotes specimens 
with brownish shading of the marginal lines. — obscura Wilern. has dark brown fringes to both wings. — destri- obscura. 
gata Strd. has no white lines on the veins in marginal area. destrigata. 
N. albiangulata E. Prout is perhaps only a form of albicinctus. Ground colour darker. On forewings albiangulata. 
the white submarginal line is less acutely angulated under vein 3 than in albicinctus , but it is angulated again 
at vein 5; in albicinctus there is only a slightly apparent angulation further upwards. On hindwings the angles 
are not so acute. 100 mm. A worn 3 from Sumatra. 
N. illodesZera?/ differs from albicinctus in the opposite direction to albiangulata. The ocellus is narrower illodes. 
in the radial direction. The pale ochreous yellow submarginal line on forewings is acutely and widely angul¬ 
ated at vein 2, above it proceeds more obliquely to costal margin, below vein 6 it projects once again acutely 
but not so far; above vein 2 it is slightly incurved and below proceeds very far inwards. On hindwings there 
are two dentations as in albicinctus, but the 3 arcs in connection therewith are less heavily curved. 95 mm. 
One $ from Java. 
N. mirans E. Prout. Wings dark brown, nut-brown between the postmedian and submarginal lines, mirans. 
A dark antemedian line is diffusely indicated. From proximal side of ocellus an equally diffuse median line. 
The large brown oval ocellus extends almost to costa and postmedian line. The latter extends uniformly curved 
from % costa to % of inner margin. The normally angulated submarginal line is indistinct. On hindwings the 
fine dark median shade is obsolete, the outer one more prominent, the submarginal line twice angulated out¬ 
wards. 75 mm. Described from a single 3 from Siam. 
N. glaucopis Wkr. (= prunosa Mr.) (56 b). Wings dark brown with blue sheen. Ocelhrs large. The giaucopis. 
lines frequently completely absent. Sometimes a pale line from lower centre of ocellus and a parallel one close 
behind the ocellus to the inner margin. Postmedian line generally indicated from costa outwards to over vein 3.
