44 LARGE MEABOK BROWN. 



from the outer margin, and in it from one to three minute dark 

 specks. 



The female is larger than the male ; the general colours are the 

 same, but the fore wings have a large irregular patch of fulvous 

 brown, around, but chiefly extended beneath, the eye. The general 

 colour of the hind wings is brown, and they have a broad indistinct 

 bar of a paler colour with an orange tinge, following the margin, but 

 a little within it. The brown at the edge of the latter is lighter than 

 the remainder of it. 



Underneath, the fore wings are pale fulvous, the eye and eyelet 

 the same as on the upper side, and the large patch shews through 

 from above a little lighter than the surrounding colour, but more 

 distinctly defined by straight edges on its sides. The hind wings 

 are darkish brown at the base with a tinge of bronze. This is 

 succeeded by a paler irregular bar, the same which partially shews 

 through on the upper side, and this again by a broad margin a 

 little darker in colour. 



The caterpillar is green, with white longitudinal lines, and its tail 

 is forked. 



The chrysalis, which is suspended by the tail, is of an angular shape, 

 and has two sharp points on the head. 



The markings of this species are very variable. 



The figures are from specimens in my own collection.
