even ; in the hind wing it commences on the costal nervure, ends on 

 the submedian nervure, the band is sinuous or recurved, of about the 

 same width throughout ; the usual two annular spots, one above the 

 other, across the middle of the discoidal cell ; a reniform spot at the 

 end of the cell ; a very indistinct submarginal whitish fascia. Forewing 

 with an additional minute subapical dot placed posteriorly to the 

 three dots of the upperside ; a small round black ocellus in the middle 

 of the first median interspace. Hindwing with a very small oval 

 black ocellus placed in the middle of the first median interspace. 

 Female. Upperside, both wings dark hair-brown or fuscous, with 

 many of the markings of the underside showing through by trans- 

 parency, including the markings in the discoidal cell, and the two ocelli 

 in the first median interspaces, only on the upperside these latter are 

 blind ; a prominent, broad, dazzlingly-white discal band, more or 

 less divided by the dark veins, in the forewing commencing at the 

 costal nervure, where it is narrowest, ending on the inner margin, 

 the band curved outwardly in the middle, both its edges rather 

 irregular, in the hindwing commencing on the costal nervure, 

 ending on the submedian nervure, of nearly equal breadth through- 

 out, its inner edge very straight and even, indented only at the 

 forking of the second and third median nervules in one specimen, 

 the outer edge lunulated ; a common submarginal waved whitish 

 line. Forewing with five subapical white dots, the two posterior- 

 most minute ones in a line with the middle dot ; a round black 

 spot placed against the outer edge of the discal white band in 

 the first median interspace, outwardly faintly defined by a pale line. 

 Hindwing with an exactly similar spot, but its outer bounding 

 line is rather more prominent. Underside, both wings pale brown, 

 somewhat tinged with ochreous, marked similarly to the male, 

 except that the discal band is broad and pure white as on its own 

 upperside. 



I am greatly indebted to Heer P. C. T. Snellen for a very perfect 

 coloured drawing of a single male example of A. nakula, Moore, in 

 his own collection, here given on plate N, fig. 5, and through the 

 courtesy of Mr. Francis A. Heron of the entomological department 

 of the British Museum (Natural History) I have been furnished by 

 Mr. H. Knight with a very beautiful coloured drawing of the unique
