90 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



This species is nearest allied to the Malayan P. corticara. The male of the wet- 

 season brood of P. Watsoni differs from the same sex of P. corticaria, on the upperside 

 of both wings, in having only one marginal slender brown line, whereas the latter 

 species, in both sexes, possess hoo very distinctly-defined marginal lines, in addition 

 to the submarginal fascia ; the ocellus on both wings of P. Watsoni also have a 

 broader and paler ochreous ring. On the underside of P. Watsoni, the strig£e are 

 more uniformly-disposed, the hindwing not showing the transverse pale fasciae as 

 are present in P. corticaria ; the ocelli in P. Watsoni have a much broader pale 

 ochreous ring, and the ocelli on the hindwing are also larger. 



Distribution. — Specimens of the wet-season brood were taken by Signor 

 Leonardo Fea at Palon, in Pegu, during August, and others at Bhamo in November. 

 In Major C. H. E. Adamson's Collection are examples from Kindat in Chindwin, 

 taken in November, 1891, and others from Pyoumyoung in the Shan States, taken 

 in July. Dr. N. Manders records (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1390, 519), under Y. Neivara, 

 " five specimens of both sexes taken in the wet and dry seasons, in the Shan States, 

 one of which was taken in April on the Yatsouk Expedition." Capt. B. Y. Watson 

 took examples of the dry-season brood at Toungoo in January and March, 1891. 

 Dr. J. Anderson took specimens in Burma during the Yunan Expedition.

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside brown. Forewing with a subapical 

 bipupilled ocellus, a slightly darker brown submarginal and a curved discal fascia, 

 with paler intervening area bordering the ocellus. Hindwing with a very small sub- 

 anal ocellus pupilled with blue. Underside cinereous, very numerously covered with 

 short delicate pale-brown strigge, which are uniformly disposed, but in most speci- 

 mens show traces of an ill-defined irregular discal brown fascia. Foreiuing with a 

 brownish submarginal fascia which curves below the ocellus and joins the discal 

 fascia. Rindwing with a very small distinct and well-formed apical ocellus dis- 

 posed between the subcostals, and two similar subaual ocelli of the same size, the 

 lowest being bipupilled.
