contiguous ocellus between tliR middle and upper medians, and encircled within the 

 pale outer line of the lower series. Again, rarely also a specimen of the female 

 ocours, in which there is an additional upper minute ocellus (making six) disposed 

 above the upper radial veinlet. Hindwlng with seven prominent black ocelli, 

 encompassed by a greyish-white wavy outer line. Male, on the underside of the 

 forewing, with an elongated glandular patch of ochreous yellow scales upon the 

 submedian vein extending from its middle to the discal pale band ; and on the 

 hindwing, above, with a subbasal tuft of pale hairs exserted or overlapping a 

 glandular patch of ochreous yellow scales. 

 Expanse 1| to 2 inches. 



Dry-Season Brood (Plate 65, fig. 1, e, f, g, h, cJ ?). 

 Male and female. Upperside similar to the wet-season brood. Underside paler 

 in colour, either of a greyish or ochreous brown ; the transverse discal whitish line 

 very narrow, but distinct ; the ordinary subbasal transverse wavy line generally 

 apparent. Forewing with five very small ocelli disposed as in the ocellated brood, 

 those of the female minute or anteriorly represented by white dots, the lowest one 

 situated between the lower median and submedian vein being always present or 

 indicated in both sexes. Hindwing with the ocelli also minute or anteriorly indicated 

 by a white dot. Male with fin elongated glandular patch of yelloiv scales on 

 nudersida of the forewing, and a yellow patch overlapped by the subcostal tuft on 

 upperside of the hindwing. 



Expanse 1| to 2 inches. 



Habitat. — South India ; Ceylon. 



Distribution. — Of the ocellated form, males and females from Travancore and 

 Cochin ai'e in the author's possession, and also of the unocellated form taken in the 

 Travancore Hills from 1700 to 3000 feet in March and April. Females of the 

 ocellated form taken at Rajamundry, Madras, in July, are in Col. Swinhoe's Collec- 

 tion, as also a male of the ocellated form labelled ' Kangra Valley,' which latter 

 locality is very doubtful and probably erroneous — no other example of the species 

 possessing yellow glandular patches being known to the author from the N. W, 

 Himalayas. In the Hewitson Collection there is a male of the ocellated form labelled 

 Nilgiris, and there placed as a representative of Samanta Malsara. Fron Ceylon, 

 Major Yerbury has recently sent us examples of both sexes of the ocellated form 

 taken at Trincomli in August, and of the unocellated form taken in October 

 and November, 1890. 



Of the illustrations of this species on Plate No. 65, figs. 1, la, b, c, represent 

 males and females of the wet-season brood, and figs. 1, d, e, f, g, of the males and 

 female of the dry-seasoa brood.
