margins placed between the nervules ; of these the second and third are smallest and obscure, and the 

 fourth, situate between the second and third median nervules, largest ; the lirst or upper one is i)lafed 

 between the discoidal nervules ; two marginal waved pale lines. Posterior wings with seven submarginal 

 ocellated spots similar to those of anterior wings, and which, with the exception of the sixth and seventh, 

 are placed between the uervuk-s, and are all uuc-ireled by a narrow pale greyish fascia ; of these the second 

 and third are smallest, the lirst is situate bL'twetii the subcostal nervules, and the sixth and seventh are 

 placed between the third median nervule and submedian nervure ; two marginal, waved, pale greyish lines. 

 Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Mak' with a tuft of long pali' hairs situate near costal base of posterior wings. 



Exp. wings, 42 millim.

 This variety appears to differ chielly in having but two ocellated spots on the under surface of anterior 

 wings, and was described as from " N. India."

This form differs, as Butler states, in having the "distinct subanal spot of the front wings above.' 

 Ml-. Hewitson himself* subsequently considered it as the equivalent of the .1/. sdinbd, Moore, and in this 

 view I agree. Hewitson's specimen was received from Gilolo.

This, like ,1/. mineus, appears to be a protean species, though the differeuces are ouly what 

 may be expected by those who take an evohitiouary view of the origiu of the ocehated spots, 

 and consequent variabihty of the same. Mr. Butler t has inadvertently shown this variability, 

 as in comparing the form samha with typical hlnsins he states that the Fabrician species has 

 "three ocelli on the underside of the front wings," whilst, comparing it with the form bdassis, 

 he states that hlasius has but two. 



I have not been able to examine a female specimen, which, however, Air. Moure ',. describes 

 as being similar to the male. 



The specimen figured was collected in Perak by Dr. Townsend.
