LEPID OP TEPA INDIGA. 
Cyprsea group superficially much resemble each other, the Indian Cyjorsea is in 
resemblance nearest to the African Amata , the Dry-season form of the Arabian and 
Indian Dynamine (Carnifer) somewhat resembles the African Calais, but are not 
nearly so brightly coloured, there are distinctive differences pointed out by Boisduval 
(Spec. Gen. p. 588), and considering the different quarters of the globe in which they 
occur we prefer to keep the Indian forms separate from the African.

Imago. A forest and garden insect, Male. Upperside salmon-pink. Forewing 
with a broad black costal band reaching the sub-costal vein, irrorated with salmon- 
pink scales on the basal portion, a black spot, often like a bar from this band, half way 
across the end of the cell, thick black irrorations at the base of the wing, the apical 
third black, its inner margin sinuous and curved, with two teeth on veins 2 and 3, con¬ 
tinued hindwards to the lower angle, a large black spot a little inwards, touching the 
lower tooth, making a large bifid spot of the ground colour, a little above the lower 
margin, the apical portion crossed by a whorl of three or four or more spots of the 
ground colour and sometimes some sub-marginal short streaks near the apex, and some 
spots below it. Hindwing with black irrorations thickly down the abdominal marginal 
third of the wing, a broad black costal band, a narrower black band on the exterior 
border, often marked with pinkish close to the marginal line, some inner, somewhat 
spear-shaped black spots, which leave large spots of the ground colour between them 
and the band ; cilia of both wings white. Underside pale ochreous tinged with salmon 
colour. Forewing with a pale cell spot and all the bands and spots showing through 
the wing, and two large prominent, nearly square black spots, on the disc, below veins
