in July. The gland covered by a patch of modified scales and by an erectile wisp 

 of hairs on each hindwing of the male, secretes a fluid that gives out a pleasant odour 

 distinct from, but so faint as barely to be perceptible in the presence of, a much 

 stronger odour, resembling that of sable fresh from the furrier's shop, which is com- 

 mon to both sexes." Dr. G. Watt (Ann. N. H. 1885, p. 303) obtained specimens

Tmago. — Male. Upperside with the basal area of both wings rich pale yellowish- 

 ochreous, and the outer area lilacine-white. Both wings with a submarginal row of 

 black hastate-spots, their outer angles coalescing with a marginal row of lunules, 

 each series palest and increasing in size from the apex of the forewing, where the 

 border is clouded with dusky speckles ; the transverse lines and ocelli of the under- 

 side being visible by semi-transparency ; basal tuft on the hindwing ochreous. 

 Underside very pale dull olivescent-ochreous ; both wings crossed by a subbasal and 

 a medial slender blackish sinuous line, the former with a whitish inner border, the 

 latter with a more distinctly-defined whitish outer-bordering fascia, followed by a 

 broad pale olivescent-brownish lunular fascia ; a discal series of small pale ochreous- 

 brown ill-defined ocelH, of which the upper and lower on the hindwing are prominent, 

 much larger, reddish-ochreous, and with a slender black ring ; beyond is a pale de- 

 fined olivescent-brownish submarginal series of hastate-spots and marginal lunules, 

 the latter forming an indistinctly-defined broader marginal fascia, the submarginal 

 series traversed by a slender sinuous line, and the marginal ending in a dilated black 

 anal spot speckled with grey. 



Female. Upperside as in the male, except that the marginal hastate marks 

 and lunules are larger and entirely coalescent. Underside as in the male.
