SATYRINJE. 181 



these specimens the glandular patch, is also blackish. Hindwing with seven ocelli, 

 more prominent and somewhat larger than in C. Blasius, encompassed within a 

 narrow violescent-grey outer line, the second, third, and seventh ocellus minute. 



Female. XJpperside with the pale transverse broad discal band of the underside 

 distinctly visible on both wings. Foreiving with a large median ocellus surrounded 

 by a slightly paler area. Underside. Both wings with very prominent broad 

 violescent-white discal band ; marginal lines ochreous. Forewing with two ocelli, 

 and hindwing with seven prominent ocelli, as in male. In some Ceylonese specimens 

 of this sex, of the wet-season brood, there are two small subapical ocelli on the fore- 

 wing, and in others all the ocelli are smaller and those on the forewing with two 

 minute intervening ocelli ; this latter specimen (Plate 61, fig. g.) fairly agreeing 

 with Cramer's figure of Pohjdeda, and which evidently represents an early dry-season 

 specimen, but overcoloured by his artist.

Imago. — Male. XJpperside ochreous-brown ; exterior margins and cilia cinere- 

 ous-brown. Foreiving with the transverse discal line distinct but diffused; the 

 median ocellus large, white pupilled and ringed with yellow, its bordering area also 

 generally yellowish and forming a more or less defined quadrate patch : sometimes 

 there is also a minute subapical ocellus present. Hindwing sometimes with a minute 

 median ocellule or white doL ; a subbasal radiating tuft of yellow hairs overlapping 

 a small glandular patch of Uaclish scales. Underside either dark ochreous-brown 

 or shades of dark greyish-brown, thickly speckled with darker brown; the basal 

 area darkest ; the subbasal transverse line sometimes shghtly pale bordered ; the 

 transverse discal line generally well-defined and pale bordered, and in some there are 

 indications of pale external vein points, also in some specimens a paler or brighter 

 ochreous tint suffuses the middle of the outer border of the discal line on each wing. 

 Foreiving with four, and hindwing with seven small ocelli, or minute blackish spots 

 with white pupUs — when the three or four lower spots on the hindwing are generally 

 the most distinct ; beyond these the marginal fines are ill-defined, or sometimes a 

 submarginal series of delicate denticules are present.
