loi. Mycalesis OCUlUS, Marshall. (Plate XVI, Fig. S3 ? ). 



M. oculiis, Marshall, Jourii. A. S. B , vol. xlix, pt. 2, p. 247 (18S0). 



Habitat: Ashamboo Hills, Travancore. 



Expanse : <J, 2'i ; ? , 2'4 inches. 



Description : Male : Upperside rufous brown, darker on the outer half of the 

 forewing. Foie'wiii^ with an indistinct small black subapical ocellus, pupilled with white, and 

 a large lower black ocellus also white pupilled, and broadly surrounded with ferruginous- 

 yellow ; this patch almost reaching the inner margin, and almost connected with the costa 

 by a band of the same colour, Hinihuing with four increasing black ocelli, white pupilled 

 and with yellow rings, the yellow rings sometimes coalescing. In some specimens these ocelli 

 are blind. Underside rich rufous, abruptly paler beyond the discal line; the basal area 

 imdulated with darker colour ; the discal line slightly sinuous, edged outwardly with a yellow 

 band prominent at the costa of forewing, and obsolete on the hindwing. Foreiving with the 

 ocelli as on upperside, but smaller, and with much more prominent white pupils ; occasionally 

 a third minute ocellus is present between them. Himhving with six ocelli, the fifth from the 

 apex largest, but all varying much in size in different specimens. The female is larger, and 

 has the yellow edging to the discal band on the underside prominent on both wings. All th 

 ocelli larger, and the markings more distinct. It of course lacks the glandular patch and tuft 

 of hairs of the male. 



M. oadiis occurs only in the extreme south of the peninsula ; it was taken in the Asham- 

 boo Hills in Travancore in May, by Mr. Harold Ferguson. 



The figure shows the upper and undersides of a female specimen in the Indian Museum, 

 taken by Mr. Harold S. Ferguson at Fridge, Trevandrum, South India. 



Seventh Group. — Pachama, Moore. " Wings large and broad, but comparatively shorter 

 than in Sainanta. Foreiviug with costa arched in the middle, apex rounded, exterior margin 

 slightly oblique and convex ; cilia prominent. Hind'.aing somewhat bluntly conical ; exterior 

 [? anterior] margin slightly arched, apex somewhat angled ; exterior margin very oblique and 

 scarcely convex ; cilia prominent ; first subcostal emitted at some distance before end of the 

 cell ; cell longer, end much pointed ; disco-cellulars very oblique, radial from a slight angle 

 near subcostal. Male with a subcostal tuft and glandular patch, as in Sainajila. Palpi slender 

 at tip. Club of antenna gradually formed. Eyes hairy." (Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1880, p. 165). 



This group contains only two species, which are distinguished chiefly by the prominence of 

 the white cilia to both wings, and by the very much arched costa of the forewing. So far as 

 there is any certain record both these species are confined to North-East India, 



Eey to tlie species of Fachama- 



B, Males with a glandular patch and tuft on the hindwing only.
