78 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
Female. Upperside slightly paler. Forewing with the ocellus larger and more 
prominent, the darker brown submarginal and discal fascia with indistinctly visible 
intervening pale brownish-white strigee. Hindwing with the ocelli as in the male, 
sometimes the apical ocellus of the underside being also slightly apparent ; outer 
border also shghtly traversed with pale strigee. Underside as in the male but some- 
what darker in tint. Worewing with the ocellus somewhat larger. Hindwing also 
with the ocelli larger, the three lower sometimes having the yellow rings coalescent, 
and sometimes a variety occurs in which a small lower ocellus is attached beneath 
the apical one—when the outer yellow ring coalesces and is then continuous through- 
out the entire series ; another variety sometimes show three continuous decreasing 
upper ocelli, each with a separate yellow ring. 
Expanse, 1,5, to 1,5, inch.

Imaco.—Male and female. Upperside as in the wet-season brood. Forewing 
with the lower discal area clothed with similar scales and androconia. Hindwing with 
the ocelli minute or obsolescent, the submarginal area more or less speckled with 
pale cinerescent scales. Underside with somewhat paler shades of cinerescent 
ochreous-white ; both wings generally with paler and less-defined striga, especially 
on the hindwing. Forewing with the ocellus, as in the wet-season brood, the sub- 
marginal and discal fascia less defined. Hindwing with the apical and three lower 
ocelli either very minute, but distinctly formed, or reduced to black dots, and some- 
times entirely obsolete ; the transverse discal angular fascia and submarginal sinuous 
line shghtly apparent, or sometimes obsolete. 
Expanse, 1,3, to 1,8 inches. 
AvuLt CaTErPiLtar.—‘ The larva when full grown is about an inch, or a little 
less in length ; the head round ; body of nearly equal thickness throughout, slightly 
increasing in size to the fifth segment, thence gradually tapering to the anal segment, 
which is furnished with two very short diverging immovable processes or tails. 
The head and body are thickly shagreened, being covered with very small closely- 
set tubercles emitting fine colourless hairs. Colour entirely green, with a dorsal 
line somewhat darker green, which becomes white at the fourth segment, and 
extends right through the crown of the head; there is also a paler green lateral line 
below the spiracles.” 
Curysatis.— The pupa is either green or brown; with the head rounded, the
