LEPIDOPTEEA INDIG A. 
APPIAS NTCOBAMCA. 
Male. Upperside similar to A. Hippoides. Forewing with the inner edge of 
the marginal dentated black band distinctly grey-scaled. Hindwing with the marginal 
black band very narrow and almost even, the submarginal grey bordering broader 
and more distinctly defined. Underside. Similar to wet-season form of Hippoides. 
Hindwing clear gamboge-yellow, with the outer marginal band less sinuated on its 
inner edge. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing with two upper and three lower-discal greyish- 
white streaks. Hindwing paler, being more uniformly sullied throughout with very 
pale greyish-brown scales. Underside similar to dry-season form of Hippoides, the 
hindwing being greyish-white. 
Expanse, c? ? 2f 0 inches. 
Habitat —Uicobars. 
Described from specimens received by Col. C. T. Bingham.

Wet-season Brood. Male. Upperside similar to wet-season Hippoides. Fore- 
wing with the black dentated exterior marginal band comparatively broader, the black 
scales distinctly extending along the lower subcostals, and thus forming the lower 
intervening white portion into an insulated spot. Hindwing also with a broader black 
dentated marginal band and distinctly darker grey-scaled inner border. Underside. 
Foreiving with cuprescent-brown costal and dentated exterior band, the point on the 
latter at the upper-median extending slightly along the veinlet to the base of 
middle median within the cell; apical spot yellow. Hindwing bright yellow; the 
costal and subcostals slenderly lined with brown scales; exterior band broad, 
cuprescent-brown, with a sinuous inner edge. 
Female. Upperside dark sepia-brown. Foreiving with two upper and three 
lower discal longitudinal greyish-white streaks, the middle streak being less defined? 
a more or less ill-defined streak extending within the cell from its apex. Hindwing 
with the basal area greyish-white, merging into the broad dark marginal dentated 
band, the costal vein and subcostals brown lined. Underside similar to same sex 
of wet-season Hipjpoides. Foreiving with broader white cell and discal streaks. 
Hindiving yellow; the veins brown lined, marginal sinuous-edged band broad.
