N YMPIIA LIN (Group NYMPH ALINA.) 
in 
Pupa. —Suspended by tail. Thorax and abdomen laterally protuberant in front; 
with an anterio-dorsal and thoracic pointed prominence; abdominal segments with 
a row of dorsal and lateral small points ; head-piece projected and widely cleft. 
Type. —S. Hippoclus. 
Disteipution oe Genus. “-This is a truly oriental genus, being found, in India 
throughout the Himalayas, Assam, and the Eastern Ghats; in Burma, Upper 
Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago, extending to the Philippine Islands 
and W. and 0. China, but does not occur in Ceylon, the Andaman or Nicobar 
Islands. 
Seasonal Vakiation. —The species of this genus, occurring within our area are, 
apparently, all seasonally variable, the markings of the upperside, in both sexes of 
the wet-season broad, being narrow and brightly-coloured, and in those of the dry- 
season brood broader, more irregularly-shaped, and paler in colour. In a Philippine 
species (8. Anna , Semper) the sexes are dimorphic—the male having red bands and 
the female ochreous-white bands,—and in 8. clissoluta, Stgr., from Palawan, the 
bands in male are red, and in female almost white. In the Java species ( 8 . Javanus) 
—figured in Hiibner’s Exot. Schmett.—the male has red bands, and the female is 
stated to be dimorphic, some having red bands, others pure white bands.

Imago.— -Male. Upperside fulvescent-black, with pale fulvous bands. Cilia 
alternated with white. Forewing with an elongated rather narrow irregular clavi- 
form discoidal band, its upper edge indented before and at end of the cell, its lower 
edge including and slightly bordering the median vein; a subapical oblique sinuous 
band extending to the costa, its lower portion being usually broken in two, but 
sometimes coalescent, above its end there is generally a very small attached spot 
and always a slender apical lunule; below is an oblique discal band, which is con¬ 
stricted at the lower median veinlet, its upper portion being quadrate and some¬ 
times with a very small attached spot at its outer lower angle. Hindwing with a 
short basal costal patch, a rather broad discal band, which is narrowest anteriorly 
and widens suddenly on the abdominal margin; a much narrower submarginal
