Imaco.—Male. Upperside uniformly dark olivescent vinous-brown ; cilia 
brownish-cinereous, with a paler inner line. Forewing with an obtusely-oval black 
ocellus, bipupilled with bluish-white and narrowly ringed with dark ochreous ; 
sometimes a minute ocellule is also present between the middle and lower median 
veinlets. Hindwing with a round subanal single-pupilled ocellus. Underside paler. 
Forewing with the costal and apical border speckled with brownish-cinereous scales, 
the discal area broadly suffused with bright chestnut-brown; ocellus as above, but 
more prominent and paler ochreous ringed, the submarginal and discal upper dusky 
line slightly defined. Htndwing uniformly-covered with brownish-cinereous confluent 
strige ; and crossed by a slightly-defined discal sinuous brown line and a less 
apparent submarginal line, beyond which is a series of four upper white dots, a 
prominent well-formed subanal ocellus, and an anal white dot. 
Female. Upperside as in male, but somewhat paler. Underside also paler. 
Forewing less warmly suffused with chestnut-brown. Hindwing with the submarginal 
and discal line less defined; a subanal and an anal ocellus below the upper white 
dots. 
Expanse, o 2, 2 2,% inches. 
Variety intermedia (Plate 116, figs. 2, b, c,d 2). Male and female. Upperside 
similar. Hindwing sometimes with a small ocellus above the upper median. Under- 
side. Forewing less warmly suffused with chestnut-brown. Hindwing uniformly 
speckled with brownish-grey scales; the discal and submarginal brown line being 
obsolete ; with a subanal, or both a subanal and an anal ocellus, and with either one 
or two upper ocelli, situated above and below the radial, one or other of which are 
sometimes obsolete. 
Expanse, d 2; to 2,4, ? 2; inches. 
Variety Cashapa (Plate 116, figs. 2, d,e, ¢?). Upperside similar. Hindwing 
with one, or two, upper ocelli. Underside of similar tints to intermedia. Hindwing 
with a more or less well-formed discal brown sinuous line, and generally three upper 
and two lower ocelli, or sometimes a complete series of six well-formed ocelli, the 
upper ones decreasing in size, and the anal one also small; sometimes the upper 
one, the lower third, and the anal one are either absent or represented by a white 
dot. Probably this is the wet-season brood. 
Expanse, ¢d 2 to 2%, $2; inches.
