Exp. al, {$) I in. 3I-5 lin. ; (?) i iu. 5 lin. 



^ Dark greyisJi-broiun, rather glossy ; a very slender fuscous hind- 

 marginal edging line ; cilia very narrowly dark-hroum next to iving, hut 

 leyond this consincuously white; hind-wing tailless. Under side. — 

 Rather pale Iroivnish-grey, with a slight hoary cast (faintly tinged with 

 bluish in hind-ioing) over basal areas ; ordinary markings arranged as 

 in Mohe, Trim., but mostly rather blurred and faint — esjyecially discal 

 series of spots, ivhich in fore-ioing is sometimes almost, or even entirely, 

 obsolete ; a white transverse stripe as iu Niobe (but much better deve- 

 loped, and in hind-wing broad, sinuate, and conspicuous), externally 

 bounding discal series of spots ; hind-margins narrowly whitish, with 

 a very fine bounding brownish line interrupted on internervular folds ; 

 cilia white throughout, except that on the half next to wing there are 

 a nervular series of very thin brownish marks. Fore-wing : terminal 

 disco-cellular lunule constant, tolerably well marked; discal series of 

 spots indistinct, always more or less obsolete inferiorly, — in one example 

 reduced to three, in another to two, of the superior spots, — and in one 

 case wanting wholly ; the adjoining white stripe narrow, submacular, 

 obsolescent about first median nervule. Hind-iving : ordinary three sub- 

 basal ocelli wanting in two examples, and obsolescent in a third ; ordi- 

 nary ocellus at costal commencement of discal series well developed in 

 four examples, but obsolescent in the fifth, — terminal ocellus of series 

 pretty well defined in three examples, — remaining spots of series dark- 

 brownish or brownish-grey, without distinct whitish edging inwardly, 

 and in two examples faintly marked ; ivhite stripe outwardly bounding 

 discal series very conspicuous, sinuated, continuous, widening inferiorly, 

 immediately succeeded by a series of brown lunules, most pronounced 

 in the concavity of its lower curve ; between first and second median 

 nervules, near hind-margin, a sublinear black spot densely scaled with 

 greenish-silvery ; terminal disco-cellular lunule thin and dull, but rather 

 conspicuous from its broad white edging. 



$ Like $, except that in hind-wing cilia are linear pialc-broivnish 

 nervular intcrnqitions. Under side. — As in ^, but nearly all the mark- 

 ings more distinct, especially the brown submarginal macular series.
