(J. PxhIv olive-ljlack, slightly chocolate on pronotum and skips nf sterna : 

 antenna tawny. 



Wings, uppcrsiflc, olive-black. Forewing : hinder margin less ronndcil- 



dilated than in the other species, long, distal margin almost entire ; a very broad 

 silvery white glossy band from costal margin to hinder angle, not reaching the 



edges of the wing, widest at IV, being distally angnlate at this vein. Hindwing : 



a black ocellns M'— M= half-way between cell and distal margin, marked inside with 

 a white halfring, and encircled by a pale shadowy ring : two ronnd pale bine spots 

 ]i2_Mi at two-thirds from cell to onter margin, centred witli a white line ; a tawny 

 orange submarginal band proximally dentate npon the veins, ill defined distally ; 

 distal edge of wing somewhat scalloped. 



L'mh'isidc olivaceons mnmmy-browu. — —Forewing : a pale indistinct bar 

 across middle of cell ; a black ocellus R'— R- encircled by an indistinct pale ring ; 

 proximally of ocellus a pale line, angnlate at R', endiiig in a white costal bar ; 

 this line joining before R' another indistinct line which runs distally of ocellns 

 from costal margin to W ; a reversedly crenate pale snbmarginal line followed by a 

 straight admargiual one ; the pale lines olivaceons bistre, like hindmargiual area 



from M- backwards. Hindwing : abdominal area rufons chestnnt ; a black donble 



ocellns SC'-— R- marked inside with white, encircled by rings of bistre, olive-black, 

 rnfons chestnnt, olive-black, and bistre ; two separate black ocelli M^— SM'-, marked 

 with white, each encircled by a bistre ring and the two together by rings of olive- 

 black, rnfons chestnnt, olive-black, and bistre ; the e.xternal bistre rings of the 

 anterior and posterior ocelli connected with one another across R^ ; to the rings are 

 also joined two lines situated proximally of the ocelli, the anterior line running from 

 costal margin obliquely distad, ending in the bistre ring between R" and R^ the 

 second line, convex proximally, emanating from the posterior bistre ring between 

 R3 and M', joining the ring again behind SM^ the space encircled by this second 

 line chestnnt ; two small bistre spots R^— M' distally of the ocelli, bearing bluish 

 white scaling, the spots representing two more ocelli, being either separate or being 

 connected one with the anterior, the other with the posterior bistre ring ; a reversedly 

 crenate snbmarginal line followed by a straight admarginal one, both bistre-colour. 



?. Wings paler on vjqH'rskk than in i. Forewing with rather narrow band 



from beyond middle of costal margin to apex of SM-, slightly widening behind, 

 yellowish cream-colour in front, gradually becoming orange-buff behind, distal edge 

 of band crenate ; a vestige of two black ocelli R'— R'' just outside the band, 

 bearing some bluish white scales ; three bluish white snbmarginal dots HC'-"— R'. 



Hindwing essentially as in S, but fringe cream-colour. 



E/;;f/(vvw/c slightly paler than in S. Forewing: band as on upperside, but, 



creamy buff, slightly yellowish behind ; an indistinct small black ocellus R'— R- 

 followed by a vestige of a second ocellus, both situated between the band and 

 a creamy buff line which joins the band before R' ; this line angnlate at SO'', 

 broken up into spots anteriorly ; two faint lines along distal margin slightly paler 



than the ground-colour. Hindwing as in cJ, but the bistre lines paler, the 



proximal portion of the outermost bistre rings of the ocelli creamy buif: fringe 

 creamy buff; this colour slightly extending npon wing at apex. 

 Length of forewing : c?, 40 to 4:i mm. ; ? , 45 mm.
