 Wet-Season Beood (Plate 130, figs. 1, la, b, c, d, ^ ? ). 



Imago. — Male. Forewing with the apex not subfalcate, the exterior margin 

 being but very slightly angled below the apex. TJpperside paler olivescent ochreous- 

 brown than in the di-y-season brood. Foreiving with the subapical black confluent 

 spots smaller, more or less obscurely defined, the upper spot with a pale ochreous 

 pupil, the ochreous upper bar being narrow and also more or less obscurely-defined, 

 the dusky inner-patch to the costa obscure. Hindwing with three posterior sub- 

 marginal minute blackish-edged white dots. Underside with the ground-colour 

 either cinerescent-ochreous or ochreous, densely and uniformly-covered with dark 

 brown strigce; the transverse fasciae on the forewing somewhat indicated by slightly 

 more dense confluent- strigae, the edge of the outer discal fascia on both wings 

 being more brightly defined; the marginal border with a more or less brighter 

 ochreous fascia; the submarginal series of ocelli more or less fully developed. 



Female. Upperside pale olivescent ochreous-brown. Foreiving angled below 

 the apex as in dry-season brood ; the subapical blackish spots, inner costal dusky 

 patch and their ochreous outer border more or less paler, narrower, and obscurely 

 defined. Underside more ochreous than in male ; the strigfe more slender and 

 paler ; the transverse fasciae narrow and well-defined ; the submarginal ocelli as in 

 the male.

 being minute, and from the upper spot a continuous blackish patch extends inward
