162 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



of the two confluent. Eindiving witli seven ocelli, tlie fourth blurred, the third 

 smallest, the fifth as large as all the others united. Margin with an ochreous brown, 

 and an obscure violet line bordered by dark lines. Cilia dark. 



" Expanse, 57 millimetres." 



Habitat. — Nicobars. 



" The absence of the ocellus on the forewing above, and the violet band of the 

 underside unmarked with white distinguish Manii from the female of the Andamanese 

 Badza. From the female of the wet-season brood o{ Anaxias (India) it differs on the 

 underside in the uniform paler and more ochreous brown of the base ; in the great 

 breadth of the white band which extends almost to the end of the cell ; in the very- 

 unequal ocelh, in the absence of the lilac gloss discally and submarginally ; and in 

 the darker apex, and obsolescent discal band of the forewing." (Doherty, I.e. 257.) 



Distribution. — " One female taken at Gonyi, Great Nicobar ; two females at 

 Ikuya, Little Nicobar." (Doherty, I.e. p. 257.) 



Genus SAMUNDRA. 



Imago. — Male. Differs from Virapa (F. Anaxias) in its broader and more 

 rounded wings. Forewing with the costa comparatively shorter, more convex, the 

 apex more obtuse, and the exterior margin almost erect and convex, thus giving this 

 wing a much less triangular shape ; the submedian vein is much curved downward 

 from the end of the swollen base, and the hairy tuft over the glandular patch on the 

 upperside is situated above the submedian (not above and below it, as in V. Anaxias), 

 the hairs of the tuft also are pale brown, not black as in the latter species. Hind- 

 wing with the cell much broader in the middle ; the subcostal vein starting further 

 from the base of the costal, the branch of the subcostal is also emitted further from 

 the base and curves downward and outward ; the discocellular starts from near the 

 base of the branch (not at about one-third from its base as in V. Anaxias), the dis- 

 cocellular is therefore nearly twice its length and is very outwardly oblique, its upper 

 end being much curved. In the female the discocellular of the hindwing starts from 

 the junction of the two subcostals — not at some distance beyond the base of the 

 branch, as in V. Anaxias. The palpi are comparatively longer, straighter, and some- 

 what porrected. Antennce much longer, with a more slender, longer, and narrower 

 club.
