MORPHID^ DASYOPHTHALMA \SD THATJMANTIS. 



THAUMANTIS CAMBODIA. 2. 



Upperside. Female, bro^\^l : the basal half of both wings green-brown ; the 

 outer half lilac-white with a white spot near the costal margin beyond its middle ; 

 both wings crossed by a band of triangular palm-like black spots : the outer margin 

 broadly brown, deeply sinuated at the nervures, and traversed by a deeply undulated 

 line of lilac, forming conical spots indented at the apex. 



Underside green-brown to the middle, red-brown beyond, tinted with lilac on 

 the posterior wing ; both wings crossed near the base by an undulating band of 

 rufous-brown : at the middle by a narrow band of white bordered inwardly with 

 rufous-brown : and beyond the middle by a deeply undulating orange-brown band, fol- 

 lowed near the outer margin by a band of indistinct brown spots : anterior wing with 

 a short curved line at the base and a band at the end of the cell, rufous ; two obscure 

 rufous-orange ocelli ; posterior wing with a small rufous spot before the middle, and 

 three equidistant rufous-orange ocelli with white pupils and black iris. 



Expan. 5-1% in. Hab. Cambodia. 



In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 



This species, though much resembling T. Camadeva of Westwood, is very distinct. The colour of 

 the basal half of the wings is altogether different ; the anterior wing is without ocelli, the spots beyond 

 the middle of the wing are of another form : the posterior wing of Camadeva is without them. On the 

 underside they are quite unlike in colour : Cambodia has only two ocelli on the anterior wing, nuH 

 three on the posterior wing, Camadeva has five on each: the undulating lines which follow these ocelli 

 have but little resemblance.
