to 4000 feet (Champion). 
In some specimens of this species the inner margin of the primaries is broadly pure 
white, in others it is clouded with reddish-brown scales; the black markings on the 
underside are also variable, and sometimes almost wanting. The type was formerly 
in the Norris collection, and the locality quoted by Mr. Butler? is “ Limas.”

pale yellow band edged on the inner side with white, the band extending along the inner margin almost 
to the base, a small yellow streak about the middle of the costal margin, the fringe dark brown; the 
secondaries crossed near the base by a silvery-white line, the apex and part of the outer margin edged 
with yellow, the ocellus and metallic spots very much asin 0. amabilhs (Cram.); the underside white, 
the outer margin of the primaries broadly bordered with brown. Expanse 13 inch.
