AMATHUSIIN 4. 189 
velvety-black glandular patch situated across the base of the upper median veinlets, 
the patch clothed with densely-packed raised lengthened broad scales of equal width 
and with obtuse or slightly-obtusely-dentate tips ; mo androconia. 
Underside. Both wings with the ground-colour more or less brownish-ochreous, 
with numerous short transverse dark brown strigz, most numerous externally ; 
crossed by a dark brown narrow subbasal zigzag fascia, a broad medial discal fascia, 
a much less-defined outer discal fascia, and two submarginal slender lunulate fasciz ; 
some small blackish spots at base of the cells and one or two spots at the end; the 
outer borders between the submarginal fascie slightly irrorated with llacine-white 
scales. Hindwing with two round ocelli outside the medial discal fascia, the upper 
one being between the subcostals, the other, somewhat smaller, between the lower 
medians, each with a reddish centre, white pupil, narrow yellow and black ring and 
then a yellow lunule on its inner edge. Abdomen beneath with a small glandular 
patch of laxly raised ochreous scales, placed on each side of the keel near the base. 
Female. Upperside paler purpurescent-brown, darkest externally, without any 
blue reflections. Forewing crossed by a broad excurved discal ochreous band, which 
commences from middle of the costa and extends in an equal width to the middle 
median veinlet, below which it is narrowed to near the submedian, followed by a 
contiguous submarginal series of three large lunate patches, a fourth upper smaller 
patch being slightly indicated by ochreous speckles; beyond is a marginal row of 
slender lunules; a small inner discal ochreous spot between the lower median veinlets. 
In Burmese specimens the excurved discal band is very broad, and in Malacca speci- 
mens this band and the submarginal lunate spots are united. Hindwing with an ill- 
defined submarginal and marginal series of narrow ochreous lunules and a much less 
apparent upper discal spot. Underside paler than in male, the strige less pro- 
minent and more uniformly disposed, and the transverse fasciz less apparent ; ocelli 
on hindwing duller coloured.

segment with two short black longitudinal anterior streaks; head of moderate size,
