100 Mr. Leech on a collection of 



Often there are two ocelli situated one below the other near the 

 apex, and sometimes a third lower down towards the outer angle. 

 Ocelli on secondaries vary from two to four in number, and are 

 arranged along and parallel with the outer margin ; the lower pair 

 always the largest. 



Under surface of both sexes pale greyish brown, with a pale band 

 intersected by a dark wavy line, and bordered internally by a dark 

 serrated line running parallel with the outer margins. Venation 

 prominent. Outer third of primaries paler and separated by a 

 dark brown wavy line. Discoidal cell divided by a dark line. 

 Parallel to the outer margin are two, three, or four ocelli, that 

 nearer the apex being much the largest. 



The markings on the secondaries are a dark basal streak from 

 costa to the submedian nervure ; beyond this is another dark 

 streak starting from the costa, and, after skirting ocellus at 

 anterior angle, forms a deep elbow towards the outer margin, and 

 then strikes off in an oblique direction towards the anal angle. 

 Parallel with outer margin is a series of six ocelh, that near the 

 costa being the largest and nearly twice the size of No. 5, the next 

 largest. Nos. 4 and 6 are about equal, but the latter sometimes 

 exhibits a tendency to gemination. The costal ocelli can be 

 faintly seen on the upper surface.

3. Lethe naias, n. s. (PI. VIII., fig. 4). 



Male. Blackish brown, apical third slightly paler, a pale band 

 intersected by a line of the ground colour on the outer margins of 

 all the wmgs, but most distinct on the secondaries. Two faintly 

 outUned ocelli near apex of primaries and five on secondaries ; of 

 these last the fourth and fifth are the most distinct, the white 

 pupils and pale irides being well-marked. The others are very 

 indistinct, and appear to be the ocelli of the under side showing 

 through the wing. 



Female. Similar to the male, but larger and a shade paler in 

 colour. Fringes pale whitish brown. 



Under surface : colour same as on the upper side in both sexes. 

 Primaries : two ocelli near apex with white pupils and yellow 

 irides well- developed, and on the outer margin are a greyish violet 

 wavy Hne and one of pale brown, narrowly separated by the 

 ground colour. Secondaries : a narrow transverse streak of greyish 

 violet, edged internally with dark brown before the middle of the 

 wing, and another of the same colour bordered externally with a 

 darker shade of ground colour beyond the middle of wing. This,
