AMATHUSIIXyE. 213 



exterior margin pale ochreous-brown ; crossed by the slightly-apparent excurved 

 subbasal and the oblique discal brownish line of the underside. Hindwing crossed 

 by the slightly-apparent subbasal and discal brown line of the underside, followed 

 by a more distinct outer discal sinuous brown line, and then by a slightly-defined 

 less sinuous upper submarginal line. Underside uniformly paler ochreous-yellow, 

 the veins brownish ; crossed by an ochreous-brown subbasal line, which is incurved 

 on the forewing and excurved on the hindwing, a narrow oblique discal fascia and a 

 slender sinuous submarginal line; between the two latter is a series of small ocelli, 

 which decrease in size upwards, those on the forewing varying from one to five, 

 and those on the hindwing from five to six, the one situated between the lower 

 medians the largest, and the upper ones, generally, more or less imperfect ; these 

 ocelli, where perfect, have a pure white centre, ringed with black, a bright ochreous 

 ring, and then an outer black ring. Body, palpi, and legs beneath ochreous-yellow ; 

 antennae brown. 



Female (type). Upperside pale ochreous-brown. Forewing crossed by a 

 faintly-defined broad excurved band of ochreous-yellow, which commences from 

 the costa, where it is broadest and brightest yellow, and ends indistinctly towards 

 the posterior angle, where it merges into the ground-colour ; also crossed by the 

 very faintly-defined subbasal and discal line of the underside. Hindwing crossed by 

 the very faintly-defined subbasal and discal line of the underside, followed by an 

 ochreous-brown outer discal sinuous line, and then by a submarginal line, the apical 

 area being also slightly paler ochreous. Underside dull pale cinerescent ochreous- 

 brown ; crossed by slightly broader lines, as in the male, and more sharply-defined 

 submarginal ocelli. Another female (from the Khasia Hills) is smaller than the 

 type above described, and on the upperside is duller coloured, with the subapical 

 pale band less-defined, but the transverse oblique discal line broad and distinctly 

 defined ; on the underside the basal area is uniformly darker, the ocelli being of the 

 same size, and with an additional small ocellus at the anal angle. 



Expanse, c? 2^^ to 3, ? 3 to 3i^o inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan ; Naga, Khasia, and Garrow Hills. 



DiSTEiBCTTioN. — The type specimen (female) has a printed label " Darjeling " 

 attached to it, and was obtained by the late Mr. "W. S. Atkinson, as is indicated in 

 his MS. Notes in our possession. A male, taken in Bhotan, August, 1888, by 

 Mr. Otto Moller's native collectors, is now in Mr. Walter Rothschild's collection, as 

 is also a male, labelled " Garo Hills, December, 1888," taken by the Rev. W. 

 Hamilton. Colonel C. Swinhoe has specimens of both sexes from the Khasia Hills, 

 also taken by. Mr. Hamilton's native collectors. Specimens from the Khasias are 

 also in the collection of Mr. Philip Crowley. Mr. S. E. Peal obtained a single male 

 in the Naga Hills.
