 Celebes : tiie outer margin of the fore wing somewhat pro- 

 duced, the margin a little excavated beneath it, as is usual in

 the fore wing is small, dull black, with a white pupil in its 

 centre and a slight indication of oiange on its inner side : on 

 the hind wing there is the usual black ocellus near the anal 

 angle, with a white pupil, and faintly ringed with dull 

 orange, and there is another similar but very small ocellus in 

 the second interspace, nearer the outer margin. Underside 

 much darker than in obsolescens, the striations much darker 

 brown; the ocelli similarly placed, but on the hind wing 

 larger and brighter-coloured, the ocelli being placed as on the 

 ujjpeiside, but very small on the fore wing, and having three 

 additional ocelli, two close to the apex and one in interspace 2, 

 all three much nearer the margin than the one in interspace 3 ; 

 on the hind wing there are three additional ocelli — a large 

 one near the apex, two small ones in interspaces 4 and 5, and 

 a small double ocellus close to the anal angle.

 on a dark ground above the subapical ocellus and in having 

 all the ocelli on the underside much larger.
