76 lilessrs. J. J. Joicey and G. Talbot on new 



Underside. — Fore wing with paler ground-colour. A pale 

 yellowisli median band as above, but move clearly defined 

 and extending nearly to base at inner margin ; two ocelli 

 contiguous in 4 and 5 and surrounded by a lead-coloured 

 line ; costa and apex above ocelli and distally of the band 

 roddish brown ; a strongly waved lead-coloured submarginal 

 line from before the apex to middle of cellule 2 ; a red-brown 

 marginal line. IJind wing pattern similar to pedaloidina. 

 A somewhat irregular discal cream-coloured band from costa 

 to first submedian, crossing cell near end ; basal half of wing- 

 deep chocolate-brown sparsely scaled with grey, but more so 

 at inner margin as far as anal angle; outer lialf of wing 

 dark reddish brown, this area entering the cell ; four outer 

 ocelli, black with pale brown rings and a white pupil, the 

 lower three surrounded by a violet-grey line, the apical one 

 similarly enclosed ; a submarginal violet-grey line and a pale 

 brown marginal one ; a black submarginal patch between 

 veins 4 and 6 and a black patch at inner angle. Fringes 

 black chequered with greyish yellow between the veins. 



? . Wings more rounded, colour paler, and the two ocelli 

 on hind wing much more distinct.

14. Mycalesis fidvianetta semicastanea, subsp. n. 

 (PL V. fig. 5.) 



Differs {rom fulvianetta, Roths.*, in more extended costal 

 and apical black, which nearly touches vein 4 and includes 

 anterior half of cell ; a black submarginal border reaching 

 tornus and invaded slightly on veins 2 and 3 by the ground- 

 colour. Hind wing with two dark submarginal lines, inner 

 one thicker. 



Underside pinkish brown, costal margin of fore wing 

 darker, discal area on both wings betw^een outer rufous line 

 and ocelli much paler. On fore wing the two middle ocelli 

 smaller tlian the others, and in the type obsolescent. On 

 hind wing are two additional ocelli, one minute near first 

 submedian and one in cellule 6. 



Easily distinguished from the allied mahadeva, Bdv., 

 which occurred in the same collection, by the postmedian 

 stripe on fore wing below being straight^ and not inwardly 

 curved.
