This species evidently belongs to the ocellate, white- 
veined group, in which it is distinguished by its small 
size. 
The following ‘“‘Conspectus” has been prepared by 
Mr. J. Edwards for his own use in working at my speci- 
mens of this genus; the characters employed will not 
be found absolutely diagnostic in the case of every in- 
dividual specimen, but the table will serve to show what 
points have proved most useful in separating the mem- 
bers of this admittedly difficult genus. 
CoNSPECTUS SPECIERUM. 
1 (36). Ocellate species, i.e., having at least one dis- 
tinct roundish black spot or ocellus (or indi- 
cation of such) on fore wing below.* 
2 (9). Hind wing below with the veins conspicuously 
whitish. t 
3 (4). Fore wing below with a broad dark grey mar- 
ginal band, bounded inwardly by a blackish 
line. No sex-mark in 3 Sc Sc - 
4 (3). Fore wing below with the marginal band (if 
any) not bounded inwardly by a blackish 
buddha, Gr.-Gr. 
line. 
5 (6). Fore wing below normally with 4 subequal 
ocelli. Nosex-markin g .. ate .. tarpeia, Pall. 
* In some specimens of bore a weak ocellus is present on the fore wing 
below in cell 5, and, very rarely, in cell 2. 
t Certain specimens of hora haye the veins paler than others, but in 
that species the dark band on the hind wing below is produced into a 
blunt point on vein 4 andin cell6. . sculdaalso is more or less white- 
veined, but the characteristic shape of the dark band on the hind wing 
below, with its projecting tooth on vein 4, as in wr'da, and the yellowish 
rust-red colour of the fore wing, prevent its confusion with any species 
in this section.
