 of the transverse discal sinuous brown line on the fore wing.

 along exterior border ; marginal lines black. Underside bright 

 vinous brown, purplish grey along exterior border ; covered with 

 minute black and grey strigae : both wings with a transverse discal 

 narrow purplish grey band, and a distinct yellow narrow marginal

Mycalesis charaka. 



Male emd/ernale. Upperside yellowish olive-brown, outer mar- 

 gins paler : fore wing with two very prominent bright-coloured 

 ocelli, the upper one the smallest and sometimes with two white pupils, 

 the lower ocellus fully a quarter of an inch in diameter.

 divided by a nearly straight transverse discal brown line ; two sub- 

 basal short zigzag brown lines on fore wing and one on hind wing ; 

 both wings with a narrow black submarginal line, and a brown

 series, fourth very minute, fifth the largest (though small), sixth 

 and seventh minute. 



Exp. If inch. 



Hab. N.E. Bengal. In Brit. Mus. and Coll. F. Moore. 



This species is very similar in appearance to M. gotama, but may 

 be distinguished by the very considerable difference in the size of 

 the ocelli beneath. 



Note. — The specimens of this species in the British-Museum 

 collection stand as the representatives of Hiibner's M. otrea 

 (Zutrage, f. 79, 80), which name Professor Westwood altered, in
