There are traces of a hind marginal row of ocellated spots on 

 the hind wings and an orange marginal line. The underside 

 of the forewings is brown at the base with a broad yellow 

 margin. The hindwings have a blackish base and yellow 

 outer margin with six dots. It would appear that Charpentier, 

 in 1836, wrote the letterpress to this figure,* and the 

 description has been made quite independently of Esper's 

 ridiculous figure. 



" The series of 0. iphis in the British Museum collection 

 (called by the authorities aviyntas) contains Zeller's specimens 

 of this species. The males are all more fuliginous than the 

 Lautaret specimens, the undersides are well ocellated and 

 the hindwings show the white band in varying stages of 

 development, but never quite continuous the whole length of 

 the wing and never enclosing the ocellated spots. The females 

 have the colour of the forewings above darker than have 

 the specimens from Lautaret, and present no strikingly marked 

 distinction in tint between the fore and hindwings as do 

 those I exhibit, whilst all the females are more or less spotted 

 on the upper side of the fore and hindwings. The two 

 females that constitute the types of mandane, Kirby, are 

 much more like the Lautaret females than any of the 

 German and Swiss specimens, but one of the mandane has 

 strongly ocellated hindwings on the upperside, like the 

 German specimens. This character is quite absent in the 

 Lautaret examples, as my specimens show. 



" The female C. satijrion in the British Museum collection 

 do not maintain altogether the distinction that I observe in 

 the Lautaret examples, viz., the paler fore and the darker 

 hindwings, the forewings being in some instances much 

 duller than any I have taken. Other specimens Lave more 

 ochreous forewings and then approach the Lautaret specimens 

 more closely, but the latter, even in the most extreme forms, 

 are evidently not quite so dark as those that occur elsewhere. 

 The males in this series vary somewhat. Some have the 

 forewings entirely fuliginous, others approach the orange- 



* There is a footnote stating this fact in the British Museum copy of 

 Esper's work.
