SATYRm^. lot 



wing not reacliiug ocellus, but scarcely reaching leijond outer transverse 

 streak, which, with that in cell, is usually clearly marked in both sexes. 

 Hind-wing : two crenelated dark-brown transverse lines, one before, the 

 other about middle ; ocelli very faintly represented by pale dots and in- 

 complete pale rings, seven in number ; beyond them a lunulate dark 

 line. In both wings a dark line along, and close to, hind-margin. 



In some $ specimens the ocellus of fore-wiug is tripupillate, the 

 lowest pupil indicating the existence of a second ocellus ; and two $s in 

 my collection have, in addition to the large three-pupilled ocellus, two 

 well-marked smaller ocelli between first and third median nervules, the 

 lower being the larger. In one $ the fulvous indistinctly extends 

 round outer edge of large ocellus, as in Cramer's figure, and indications 

 of this appear in others. 



Abcrr. $. — Fore-wing : fulvous paler than usual, well-defined, dis- 

 tinctly and broadly divided into two portions, basal and subapical 

 (very much as in Fscudonymplm Trimenii, Butl.), the dark dividing 

 space being limited by the two dark transverse streaks usually obser- 

 vable in the $, and dusted with fulvous ; ocellus bipupillate, larger 

 than usual, more obliquely placed. Hind-wing : three of the four 

 ocelli rather larger than usual and very distinct. Under side. — More 

 ochreous ; markings less distinct. Fore-wing : fulvous paler ; outer 

 dark transverse streak straighter and more strongly marked.

 H, Bowker). 



Godart {loc. cit.) notes two males in which the fore-wings wholly 

 wanted the ocellus on the upper side, but on the under side were quite 

 as usual. 



Larva. — Pale sandy-brown ; along middle of back a fine double 

 black line, between two sinuated dusky streaks ; on each side a sub- 

 dorsal, broad, dusky streak, crossed superiorly on each segment by a 

 short, oblique, narrow mark of the ground-colour; spiracles black, 

 surrounded by dusky irroration. Head large, dark-brown, set with 

 short black bristles and sandy hairs. Body generally rather closely 

 set with short black bristles ; tail very slightly bifid, the two short pro- 

 minences sandy, set with black bristles like the rest of the surface. 



Pupa. — Pale-sandy, inclining to reddish abdominally, everywhere 

 minutely reticulated with fuscous. A fuscous line down middle of back ; 

 the edges of all the limbs, and the neuration of the wings defined by 

 fuscous lines. Back of abdomen with a pale- sandy streak on each side 

 and two very indistinct central ones ; a series of indistinct paler spots 

 just above spiracles. Length 71 lines. Form like that of Clytus, but 

 abdomen shorter inferiorly, being more abruptly curved. 



Not suspended ; lying perfectly free and unattached. 



Mr. T. D. Butler and Mr. E. Lightfoot both brought me examples of this 

 larva, but I did not succeed in rearing any of them. The latter, however, 

 was more successful, obtaining two pupae from larvce collected in August 1885,
