vening submarginal line darker. Forewing with a narrow oblique subapical white 

 band, below which is a large prominent black ocellus with white pupil and ochreous 

 outer ring, and a very small similar ocellus sometimes present above the white band ; 

 a slender tuft of black hairs overlapping a glandular patch on each side of the 

 middle of the submedian vein. Hindivinij with a very small indistinct ocellus between 

 the middle and lower median veins. A glandular tuft of yellow hairs radiating 

 from below the base of the subcostal vein over a nacreous costal patch of scales. 

 Underside with the basal area darker ; marginal lines ochreous. Forewing with the 

 oblique subapical lilacine-white band, a prominent large lower-submargiual ocellus 

 and two obliquely-disposed apical smaller ocelli, each with a bright ochreous outer 

 ring and. minute white pupil. Hinchving with a submarginal series of seven similar 

 prominent ocelli, the four upper and the two lowest being the smallest, the fifth very 

 large and more oval in shape ; outer edge of dark basal area wavy, lilacine bordered 

 and with a more or less dentate lilacine mark above the upper median vein. Bod// 

 brown above, paler beneath ; legs and palpi ochreous-brown. 



Female somewhat larger, and paler.' Upperside. Forewing with the oblique 

 subapical white band twice the width of that of the male ; the small upper ocellus 

 plainly defined, the lower ocellus larger and more prominent. Hindwing with a small 

 ocellus between the middle and lower median veins; submarginal line blackish. 

 Underside. Forewing with the subapical white band prominent ; two small prominent 

 oblique apical ocelli and a large lower ocellus as in the male, marginal lines 

 ochreous ; outer edge of basal area lilacine and dilated posteriorly. Hindwing with 

 the ocelli larger than in' male ; marginal lines broader and ochreous ; edge of basal 

 area irregularly but broadly lilacine bordered.

 Imago. — " Female. Upperside fuscous. Foreiving with the white band wider 

 than in any allied species, and almost crossing the apex. Hindiving unmarked 

 except by two submarginal lines obscurely darker. Underside paler brown ; a broad 

 dull violet band across the disc of hindwing, unmarked with white, its inner border 

 nearly straight. This band is obscurely visible on the lower part of the forewing, 

 not extending to the white band ; below the white band one large ocellus, above it 

 two apical ocelli set obliquely, the upper many times the larger, the ochreous rings
