SATYRUS. *J1 



The upper side of the secondaries, usually towards the anal 

 angle, has a similar ocellated spot. 



The under side has a row of six ; iris yellow, pupil blue, of 

 which the two extreme and the intermediary are smallest. 



Body of the color of the wings ; antenufe annulated with white 

 and black. 



The S. pegala of Fab. is most probably only a variety which 

 has but one eye on the primaries.

Upper side blackish-brown ; primaries with two black ocelli 

 pupilled with white, the iris a little paler; secondaries with a 

 smaller eye often preceded by another small one without a pupil. 



Under side brown, with the markings more obscure ; the eyes 

 of the primaries with a fulvous iris, preceded by a transverse 

 brown line, and followed near the fringe by three very fine parallel 

 lines ; that of the secondaries is traversed in the middle by two 

 sinuous brown lines, followed by an irregular row of six small 

 black ocelli and more or less marked with blue. 



The female is much larger than the male ; the ocelli of the pri- 

 maries are larger, circled with fulvous yellow ; the small ocelli of 

 the under side of the inferiors much less distinct than in the male.
