SATYRIN^. 295 



brown fascia and slender marginal line. Hindwing crossed by a dark ochreous- 

 brown basal angulated band, a subbasal sinuous line, and a sharply-defined sinuous 

 discal fascia, the former outwardly and the latter inwardly pale-bordered ; a series 

 of six prominent ocelli, the sixth being duplex, each with a black centre, white 

 pupil and also bluish speckles, a narrow ochreous ring, a broad brownish ring, and 

 then a narrow pinkish-white outer ring; marginal line inwardly-bordered by a 

 pinkish-white line, which is broadly lunular from the median angle, and outwardly 

 by reddish-ochreous ; the area bordering the ocelli pale ochreous-brown. Bodij 

 beneath and legs brownish-ochreous ; femora beneath whitish ; palpi darker-brown, 

 sides white ; collar white ; antenna3 dark-brown above, with a short broad stout 

 black club. 



Expanse, 2f to 3 inches. 



Habitat. — N.-W. and E. Himalayas; Assam. 



DiSTEiBUTiON. — " Though apparently very local, this species has a wide range. 

 The Indian Museum, Calcutta, possesses specimens from Sibsager in Upper Assam ; 

 in the neighbourhood of DarjiHng, in Sikkim, it is found but rarely ; and in the 

 neighbourhood of Simla, it is not uncommon in some years at Sidhpur and in the 

 Narkunda forests, at about 9000 feet elevation, at the end of July and beginnino- of 

 August, but there is no record as yet of its occurrence in the vast intermediate area. 

 The specimens from Simla differ from those from Sikkim in having, on the upper- 

 side, the spots on the hindwing smaller, and on the underside in that the yellowish 

 basal area of the hindwing is much more suffused with brown, especially towards 

 the abdominal margin, the pure yellowish tone being confined to the space between 

 the subbasal and discal brown bands above the median vein, and to narrow diffused 

 edgings to all the brown bands. This suffusion with brown is apparent even in 

 Sikkim specimens, but in them it is far less pronounced and less extended " (Butt. 

 Ind. i. 166). Mr. W. Doherty (Journ. A. S. Beng. 1886, 117) records the capture 

 of specimens in Kumaon, at Dhankuri, and at Khati, from 7000 to 9000 feet 

 elevation." Mr. H. J. Elwes says (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 319), " I have not taken this 

 species myself in Sikkim, but Mr. 0. MoUer took it at 6000 feet in November, and 

 it seems to be commoner than Z. Sura in the forest at 6000 to 8000 feet in British 

 Bhotan, where I took it in August near Eikisum. My Shikaris brought it from 

 Tendong and from Bhotan, and it occurs as far North-West as Simla. 1 have not 

 seen the female."
