TImaco.—Male. Upperside uniform dark velvety olivescent-brown ; cilia brown 
alternately edged with white between the veins, Forewing with a subapical black 
ocellus having one prominent white pupil and an indistinctly-defined brownish- 
ochreous outer ring; below which is a small dark red outer-discal patch, situated 
between the middle and lower median vein. Hindwing with a similar red patch 
extending from above the upper to the lower median vein. Underside. Forewing 
dark red, with the borders dark cinerescent-brown, and the apex speckled with 
cinerescent scales; ocellus larger than on upperside, bipupilled with white and ringed 
with pale ochreous. Hindwing dark-brown, sparsely irrorated with cinerescent 
speckles and short hairy scales, which are somewhat more numerously disposed across 
the disc and there form a very ill-defined curved fascia; beyond which is an outer- 
discal curved series of white dots. 
Female. Upperside somewhat paler brown, the dark red patches brighter 
coloured and more diffused, the subapical ocellus larger, more distinct and bipupilled, 
the lower pupil being minute, outer ring pale ochreous ; sometimes there is a minute 
ocellule between the upper and middle medians. Underside as in the male, but 
paler brown and more densely speckled, the subapical ocellus more prominent, 
larger, and brighter coloured.

Hasirar.— Western Himalayas. 
Distripution.—This species was first obtained by Col. A. M. Lang, who remarks 
that ‘‘it appears to be very local, as during three or four years collecting in Kunawur 
I only twice met with it, taking only five specimens, once at 6000 feet altitude, and 
again at 8000 feet, on grass ground and rocky slopes near Wangtoo, above the 
Sutlej,m June” (MS. Notes). Since then Mr. L. de Nicéville has taken a large 
number at Ulwas, in company with P. Kalinda, in May; he also found it during 
May exceedingly plentiful along all the roads in the Station of Dalhousie, and 
through the thick forest as far as Kujiar. Major C. H. T. Marshall also found it 
commonly at Kujiar, near Dalhousie, and at other places in the Chumba State, in 
May ; and Mr. A. Graham Young took it in Kulu in May and July ” (Butt. India,
