 Mycalesis sara, n. s. (PI. IV., fig. 8). 

 cf . Upper side rich tawny. Fore wings : — A broad blackish- 

 brown marginal border from two-thirds of costa curving slightly 

 to anal angle ; an ocellated submarginal spot, black with minute 

 white centre, and dark tawny margins, situated between first and 

 second median nervules ; a minute white spot near the apex. 

 Hind wings : — A broad marginal black band gradually becoming 

 narrower towards anal angle; a submarginal series of three 

 ocellated spots, similar to the one on fore wings, but the upper one 

 very minute, and its white pupil barely perceptible, the central 

 spot much the largest, and situated between submedian nervure 

 and first median nervule. Under side dark brownish ochreous, a 

 narrow and slightly waved chestnut-red fascia from costa just 

 beyond end of cell nearly to anal angle of hind wings, outwardly 

 bordered by a narrow bluish-purple stripe having opalescent 

 reflections ; a submarginal series of eight ocellated spots, black 

 with white centres, and orange-yellow margins bordered by black, 

 two on fore wings, six on hind wings ; two slightly waved sub-

 $ . Wings broad and ample. Upper side deep olive-brown, 

 inclining to golden-brown in certain lights ; outer margin with a 

 paler band, in which are two narrow and rather indistinct sub- 

 marginal lines of a darker hue. Fore wings : — Two conspicuous 

 submarginal ocellated spots, black with white centres, and broad 

 orange-yellow margins, the upper about half the size of the lower, 

 and situated above upper discoidal nervule, the lower one placed 

 between secondand third median nervules. Hind wings: — A sub- 

 marginal series of four ocellated spots similar to those on the fore 

 wings, of which the first and second are the smallest, and the third 

 the largest; these are all placed between the nervules, the first
