EULEFIS 
Genus EULEPIS Moore. 
Lepidoptera of Ceylon, 1, p. 29, 1880: Rothschild & Jordan, Novitates Zoologicae, V, 1898, j)- 562. 
Antennae less than half the length of costa, aviUi clubs long and gradual. Eyes smooth. Forewing 
with costa serrated: vein .11 from subcostal well before end of cell: vein 10 from subcostal before end 
of cell: vein 9 from vein 7 just beyond end of cell: cell less than half the length of Aving and closed, 
with upper and lower edges of about equal length. Hindwing with cell open: termen Avith vein 2 and 
A’ein 4 produced to short iJointed tails. (Fig. D.) 
TvrE. Eiilepis aihamas Drury, from India. 
This genus agrees Avith Charaxes in liaA'ing the costa of forcAA-ing sexTated, but differs in having the 
cell of hindAving oixen. It is separated IVom all other Austi-alian Nymt)halids by the pupa and laiwa; 
these arc smooth and tlio head of the larva has long hard horidiko ixi'ocesses. 
53. Eulepis pyrrhus Linne. (Aml)oina). 
This handsome species extends as far to the oastAvard as Fiji.

. AnovK. ForeAving ci*eamy Avhite: aincal half, extending to tornus, black: costa narroAA'ly broAvn: 
tAvo large discal sjxots near costa, and a complete series of subternhnal s])ots, creamy AAdiite: dark 
markings of cell and base beneath, visible. IlindAving creamy Avhite: termen bi’oadly black: a series 
of small subterminal spots, creamy AA’hite: an iiTegular Ixroad torminal line extending along tails and 
naiTOAvIy inteiTupted at A’cins, greenish: a small tornal ])atch, orange: dark markings beneath, visible. 
Bkxeatii. ForeAving Avhite: base, a|)ex and termen, bi’oAA’n: a bar acro.ss cell, black, and a bar at 
end of cell, broAvn edged black: discal sjxots as aboA’e, but basally edged black: an irregular ciiiwed 
line from costa at foiirfifths to tornus, black outwardly edged sih'ery Avhite: subierminal sjiots as 
aboA'e, but AA'hito and coA'ei*ed aa'iHi a thinly scaled band, silky Avhite. llindAving l)i*OAvn; doi’suni 
yelloAA'-broAvn : a bx*oad central area from costa diminishing to a point befoi'e reaching A'ein 2, Avhite: 
a serie.s of irregular trans\‘ersc lines, black, that neai’cst termen outAA'aixlIy edged Avhite, and that 
crossing cell liasally edged Avhite: three crescent sliaped sjiots from tornus to vein 4 at half, x’ed-broAvn 
outAA’ardly edged Ixiack: a series of subterminal spots, black basally edged silky AAdiite: terminal line 
as above, but mucli Ixroader and ox’ange-broAvn.

IVe liaA's often taken this butterfly feeding on the juices exuded l)y sliruhs: the late Mr. G. !Masters 
once found several examples round the leaking bungliole of a Avine barrel: AAdien in this somi-intoxicated 
condition it is easily caidui’ed; at other limes it is of exceptionally strong and rapid flight. 
Genus PHAEDYMA Felder. 
Ein Neucs Lepidopteron, p. 31, 1861. 
Antennae about half tlio length of costa, AA’ith clubs long, gradual and slender. Eyes smootlx. Fore¬ 
Aving Avifh A*ein 11 from subcostal aa^cII before end of cell: vein 10 from subcostal just before end of cell: 
cell less than half the length of A\*ing and open. Hindwing Avith cell open and termen rounded. Sexmark 
of male consists of a silky grey ai’ca on doi'sum of foreAving beneath, and a coi*responding but smaller 
and fainter area on costa of liindAving aboA’e. 
Type. Phaedtpna aynplnona Linne, from Aixiboina. 
54. Phaedyma shepherdi j\roore. 
This species rests AA’ith AA’ing'S outspread, and has a sIoav gliding flight Avith only an occasional flap 
of the Avings. The Iaa’o Australian races are easily separated by the Avidtli of the pale band of the 
hindAving.

iiTeguIar discal sjiots, and an incomplete seiles of small elongate subtex’ininal siiots, AA’hite. Hind 
Aving black; a nari’OAv central band, and faint traces of a series of subterminal dots, Avhite,
