 a. Tondano (Wallace). b. Amboina (Wallace). 



Differs from crepuscularis in having the inner band below the ocellus 

 brown and sinuous, instead of straight and outwardly margined 

 with white as in crepuscularis : the straight discal band across both 

 wings very broad, both above and below ; I have it also from the 

 Philippines : it is well figured by Clerck. 



1885. Wyctipao variegata. nov. 



$ Colour chocolate brown as in crepuscularis Linn.: fore-wings 

 with the sub-apical white spots, the ocellus and band round it as in 

 that species ; but this band below the ocellus is indented on the sub- 

 median vein : the discal area is more or less suffused with white : on 

 the hind-wings there are four brown bands at equal distances apart, 

 inside the sub-marginal band which is highly sinuous and distorted 

 as in crepuscularis ; but the rst and 2nd bands are sinuous and not 

 straight, and the 3rd and 4th are lunular, with spear-shaped white 

 marks on their outer sides ; there is a large white spot with a smaller 

 one below it at the apex, and the disc is more or less suffused with 

 white ; below, the margin is broadly brown ; the submarginal spots on 

 both wings very large : the inner area on some specimens is ochreous 

 grey, and on others pure white.
