Male. Wiugs above brown, strongly suifuseil with l)riglit violaceous. Anterior wings with about 

 apical third paler, on which are three obscure oeeilatecl spots, the upper two smallest and situate on each 

 side of upper discoidal nervules, the third and largest between second and third median nervules, and with 

 two obscure dark marginal lines. I'osterior wings much paler towards apical margin, with two dark 

 marginal lines, and with a submarginal waved, narrow, dark fascia. ^Viugs beiifath pale ochraceous, 

 both wings crossed by a very broad, slightly darker fascia, the margins of which are pale fuscous ; 

 on anterior wings its outer margin is at some little distance beyond end of cell, and on posterior wings it 

 passes about apex of cell ; beyond this fascia the colour is paler and tinged with violaceous. Anterior 

 wings with a submarginal series of five ocellated spots, black with white centres and yellowish margins, 

 surrounded with pale fuscous, of which the third and fourth are smallest and the fifth largest (sometimes 

 the upper four are of equal size) ; these spots are placed between the nervules, the first above upper 

 discoidal nervule, and the fifth between second and third median nervules ; a sixth very small and obscm-e 

 spot is sometimes found beneath the third median nervule ; a strongly waved, narrow, pale fuscous 

 submarginal fascia, and two fuscous marginal lines. Posterior wings with seven ocellated spots similar to 

 those of anterior wings, of which the second, third and fourth are smallest, and the fifth largest, as in the 

 specimen figured, but the upper four are variable in size ; these, with the exception of the last, are all 

 placed between the nervules, the first between the subcostal nervules, and the seventh on submedian 

 nervm-e ; a narrow submarginal fascia and two marginal lines as on anterior wing. Body and legs more 

 or less concolorous with wiugs. 



Male possessing a long tuft of dark hairs at subcostal base of posterior wings, and with an indistinct 

 glandular patch covered with short hairs aljout centre of submedian uervure of anterior wings, obscm'e 

 above but distinct beneath.

 Godm. & Salv.) 



This species appears to possess the usual variation in macular markings, and is included 

 among the butterflies of this fauna, on the authority of the Singapore specimen in the 

 Hewitsonian collection. I have not seen it myself in any other collection from the Malay 

 Peninsula, nor have I been able to examine a female specimen.
