DisTEiBUTioN WITHIN OUR LIMITS. — Major Howland Eoberts (P. Z. S. 1880, 405) 

 obtained a male and female in May in the neighbourhood of Kandahar. Colonel C. 

 Swinhoe obtained a single male at Chaman in S. Afghanistan on the 5th May, 1880. 

 It is from this latter specimen that our description of the male is taken.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olivescent umber-brown. Cilia brownish- 

 cinereous. Foregoing with a prominent short inner-discal glossy grey-black glandular 

 patch obliquely below the cell, the patch clothed with raised elongated rather broad 

 claviform scales with acutely serrated tips, some shorter and broader simUar-tipt 

 scales, and some short and broad oval scales with an obtuse tip, interspersed with 

 numerous long very slender androconia which have an elongated truncate-base, short 

 hair-like end and tassel-tip ; a subapical prominent black ocellus with minute 

 white pupil and broad dark ochreous outer ring ; in some specimens there are also 

 two lower small incipient ocelli situated between the median veinlets, and in others 

 there is only a lower but prominent small ocellule. Underside paler, cinerescent- 

 brown. Forewing with the costal and outer border very indistinctly flecked with 

 brown strigas, the cell and discal area dark ochreous ; crossed by a slender discal 

 angulate brown line, and a straight even submargiual line ; a prominent subapical 

 ocellus with pale ochreous outer ring. Hindwing indistinctly flecked with numerous 

 brown strigse ; crossed by a very indistinctly-defined slender brown angulated sinu- 

 ous line, and a less distinct lunular submarginal line; a more or less apparent 

 minute ocellule above the anal angle. Body beneath cinereous-brown ; collar, sides 

 of palpi, and legs beneath, pale whitish-cinereous ; antennte above brown, tip black, 

 cinereous beneath and ochreous at tip. 



Female. Upperside. Foreiring with three prominent discal ocelli, the upper 

 and lower larger than in male, the middle one small, each with broad pale ochreous 

 outer ring, the upper one with a minute white pupil ; between the ocelli and the 

 cell the bright ochreous colour is somewhat slightly continued between the veins. 

 Underside as in the male, except that on the forewing there are two larger pale- 

 ringed ocelli.
