 (Dbldy. & Hew. Gen. D. L. pi. lix., f. 3). Above: dark blackish- 

 brown ; costal edge of fore- wing near the base streaked with grey ; 

 the same wing crossed, just beyond the cell, by a white belt which

 branches ; near the apex are two small white spots. Hind-wing with 

 the apical border narrowly white. Beneath : fore-wing blackish; basal 

 pai't crossed by a nvimber of slender grey streaks, white belt as above, 

 and beyond this, near the apex, are two large ocelli of a dark grey 

 colour, with black pupils on their inner sides, both are surrounded by a 

 broad fulvous iris, open towards the apex of the wing ; close to the 

 apex are two black spots. Hind-wing tawny, crossed by numerous 

 dark streaks, which are brown towards the abdominal border, and black 

 towards the disc and outer border ; beyond the cell is a row of obsolete 

 ocelli, and near the middle of the costa a large tawny spot.

cJ . Expans. 3" 7'". Closely allied to B. Sophorce, L., smaller, 

 apex of the fore-wing broader, and the outer margin consequently less 

 broadly and deeply incurved ; hind-wing outer border much more 

 curved outwards. The fore-wing is of the same colour as in B. SoplwrcB, 

 but the tawny belt is broader and paler. The hind-wing is quite 

 destitute of tawny stripe.

^. Expans. 2" 7'". Eore-wing costa slightly arched, apex 

 broadly rounded, outer margin incurved in the middle and waved. 

 Hind-wing outer margin strongly dentate, the lobe at the end of the 

 second median branch nervure longer than the others. Above : dark 

 brown, fore-wing with a large spot behind the median nervure ochreous 

 white, and with four small spots of the same colour nearer the apex. 

 Hind-wing with a large ochreous-white spot passing over the end of 

 the cell, and having three deep sinuations on its outer edge. Beneath : 

 fore-wing dark brown, with spots same as above ; apex obscure rufous- 

 brown, with a lighter streak near the apex. Hind-wing tawny-brown, 

 crossed by two nearly straight ochreous-Avhite streaks ; posterior to the 

 outer streak is a broad pale belt, rusty-brown in its middle part, and 

 traversed therein by a straight row of black ocelli, the three middle 

 ones of which are very minute ; the outer edge of the pale belt is 

 deeply multisinuate.
