Tliis haiulsonie ILirmn is allied to II. Ilesindiui of Ilewitson ; it, however, differs considerably 

 fi-om all the described species.

The male of this species is wretchedly ligurcd in Donovan's Insects of India (pi. 3G, tig. I) as 

 P. Cocnlia, and I am glad of an opportunity of figuring the two sexes together. The Fabrician 

 diagnosis of the female, given above, is somewhat vague ; the " punctis quatuor ocellaribus llavis " 

 probably refers to the four indistinct ocellations nearest to the apex of hindwings. The fuller 

 description says, " Posticse fulvaj punctis quatuor oblongis flavis pupilla nigra, versus marginem 

 striga obsoleta, fusca," &c. It is possible that these ocellated markings were better defined in the 

 Fabrician type. We have a poor specimen of the female in the Collection of the British Jfuseum 

 from Ashanti : I formerly supposed the male to be the £. Thcofjnis of llewitson, which now proves 

 to be a distinct, but nearly allied species ; the first words of the Fabrician description, " Statura 

 omnino pnccedciitis," show the near relationship between his P. Cocalia and P. Mardania.
