and submedian veins. Underside. Both wings with the basal area pale ochreous- 

 brown (paler than in S. Nicotia) and with numerous uniformly distributed dark

 wings pale violescent ochreous-brown ; marginal lines ochreous. Foreioing with 

 ocelli as on the upperside but somewhat smaller, the subapical ocellus generally 

 having a minute ocellule attached above and below it (as in the male type), and the 

 large median ocellus sometimes with a minute ocellule attached above it. Hindioing 

 with seven ocelli, somewhat larger than in S. Nicotia. Female. Upperside paler 

 than in male. Forewing with the ocelli somewhat smaller. Hindwing with two 

 median ocelli. Underside paler than in male ; marked the same. Male on the 

 hindwing above with a prominent suhbasal tuft of ochreous hairs overlapping a 

 glandular patch of black scales. 



Expanse, 3 2^ to 2^, ? 2^ inches. 



Habitat. — N.-AV. and B. Himalayas. 



DiSTEiBDTiON. — The type specimen, now in the British Museum, was recorded 

 from the Eastern Himalayas. Mr. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 128) records it from 

 Bhutan. It has been taken at Naini Tal, 4200 feet, in September. Mr. W. Doherty, 

 in his notes on the butterflies taken by him in Kumaon, says (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 

 115): " My two specimens from Kapkot and Baghrihat, taken at 5000 feet, differ from 

 a Sikkim specimen in Indian Museum, Calcutta, in having the band below almost 

 obsolete. One has only two ocelli on the forewing below ; the other has two 

 additional smaller ones between them. Both have only two ocelli on the hindwing 

 above. T have also the dry-season form, one male taken at Jhulaghat, 2000 feet, 

 lacking the ocelli below, but otherwise similar, especially in the prehensores." 



The illustrations of this species on our Plate 70, figs. 2, 2a, represent the male 

 from a Bhutan specimen, and fig. 2b, that of a female from Naini Tal, kindly lent by 

 Mr. L. de Niceyille.
