Imago. — Male. TJpperside dark olivescent-brown ; marginal lines pale-brown ; 

 cilia cinereous-brown. Forewing witb the transverse discal band of the underside 

 sometimes slightly visible, and with a lower median very small white-pupilled black 

 spot. Hindioing with a tuft of yellowish radiating hairs arising within the cell from 

 below the base of subcostal vein and overlapping a glandular fatch of Mack scales at 

 its first branch. 



Underside dark vinaceous ochreous-brown ; with a very narrow purplish-white 

 transverse discal band, and two marginal ochreous lunular lines. Forewing with four 

 submarginal distinct ocelli, the two middle of which are always very minute and 

 placed externally between the upper and lower, the whole four being encompassed by 

 a narrow constricted purplish-white ring ; in some few specimens the upper and 

 lower ocelli only are present, each then being encircled by a separate purplish-white 

 ring (as in the variety named Samba [fig. 1, b, plate 59] ; others, again, have only 

 one of the middle minute ocelli developed between the upper and lower, and 

 all encompassed by the outer purplish-white constricted ring (as in the variety de- 

 scribed by Fabricius, as Blasius, and by Mr. Butler, as Cepheus) ; occasionally, also, 

 a male specimen has a fifth or lower minute ocellus attached below the large median 

 ocellus, and encompassed by the outer ring ; others, again, sometimes occur, in which 

 the two upper ocelli are separately encircled by the purplish- white outer ring, the 

 two lower being similarly encircled. In all these varieties the glandular patch of 

 scales on the middle of the submedian vein is small and hlach. Hindioing with a re- 

 curved submarginal series of seven distinct ocelli, of which the second, third, and 

 seventh are very small, and all encompassed by a purplish-white lunular fine. 



Female. TJpperside. Both wings with the transverse discal narrow band of the 

 underside slightly visible ; the marginal lines more distinct. Forewing with the very 

 small white-pupilled black spot between the medians always present. Underside 

 paler than in the male ; the transverse narrow discal band and marginal lines more 

 prominent. Foreicing with the four submarginal ocelli, the two middle of which are
