228 LEPIDOPTERA. 



brown with ill-defined yellowish spots; apex of fore win^s 

 and hind margin of hind wings with ocellated black 

 spots. 



Fore wings of the male rather elongated, of the female 

 decidedly broader, the costal and hind margins rounded ; 

 hind wings rounded with scalloped margin. Male dark 

 brown, fore wings with a few pale yellow spots, two of which 

 are elongated and lie across the discal cell, the remainder, in 

 variable number, disposed in two interrupted transverse 

 series beyond the middle of the wing, the outer series being 

 the more complete, lying parallel with the hind margin, and 

 having between two of its spots a round, white-centred, 

 black spot, often partly ringed with yellow ; hind wings with 

 a pale yellow spot on the costal margin, another near it, and 

 a row of three or four round black spots, ringed with yellow, 

 and three of them white-centred, before the hind margin. 

 Cilia of all the wings yellowish or whitish, broadly interrupted 

 at the nervures with dark brown. 



Female rather brighter brown, with pale spots placed as in 

 the male but much larger and more sharply defined ; in the 

 middle of the hind margin of the fore wings, beyond the 

 second series of yellow spots is an additional one, rather 

 square, and nearly touching the margin ; and the ocellated 

 spot near the apex is placed in a yellow blotch, composed of 

 the adjoining spots, which coalesce and enclose it. 



Underside of fore wings with the series of spots in both 

 sexes as on the upper side, but larger, and in the male much 

 more distinct, while in the female they sometimes coalesce 

 and occupy most of the surface ; there is also a broken broad 

 fascia, composed of two large spots, across the wing near the 

 base. Of hind wings very softly and delicately shaded with 

 yellow-brown and olive-brown with a dusting of brown dots 

 or rusty suffusion : the basal area rather paler, and two large 

 yellowish blotches in the costal half of the wing at the middle; 

 beyond is an indistinct partial row of whitish or yellowish 

 dots, densely surrounded with clouding of purple-brown or
