78 LEPIBOPTERA INDICA. 



Female. Uppersidc slightly paler. Forewing with tlie ocellus lai-ger and more 

 prominent, the darker brown submarginal and discal fascia with indistinctly visible 

 intervening pale brownish-white strigjB. Hindwing with the ocelli as in the male, 

 sometimes the apical ocellus of the underside being also slightly apparent ; outer 

 border also slightly traversed with pale strigee. Underside as in the male but some- 

 what darker in tint. Foreiuing witb the ocellus somewhat larger. Hindwing also 

 witli the ocelli larger, the three lower sometimes having the yellow rings coalescent, 

 and sometimes a variety occurs in which a small lower ocellus is attached beneath 

 the apical one — when the outer yellow ring coalesces and is then continuous through-

 upper ocelli, each with a separate yellow ring.

 pale cinerescent scales. Underside with somewhat paler shades of cinerescent 

 ochreous-white ; both wings generally with paler and less-defined strigae, especially 

 on the liindwing. Forewing with the ocellus, as in the wet-season brood, the sub- 

 marginal and discal fascia less defined. Hindnnng with the apical and three lower 

 ocelli either very minute, but distinctly formed, or reduced to black dots, and some- 

 times entirely obsolete ; the transverse discal angular fascia and submarginal sinuous 

 line sligMly apparent, or sometimes obsolete.

Auui/r Caterpillar. — " The larva when full grown is about an inch, or a little 

 less in length ; the head round ; body of nearly equal thickness throughout, slightly 

 increasing in size to the fifth segment, thence gradually tapering to the anal segment, 

 which is furnished with two very short diverging immovable processes or tails. 

 The head and body are thickly shagreened, being covered with very small closely- 

 set tubercles emitting fine colourless hairs. Colour entirely green, with a dorsal 

 line somewhat darker green, which becomes white at the fourth segment, and 

 extends right through the crown of the head ; there is also a paler green lateral line 

 below the spiracles."
