SATYRINJE. 297 



nated with oclireous-white. Forewing crossed by an inner-discal glandular fascia, 

 clothed with numerous short tapering black-scales, with tridentate tips, the outer 

 points of which are divergent, and a few interspersed larger broad ribbed-scales, with 

 tridentate or quadridentate tips ; two blackish bars within the cell, their interspace 

 being pale olivescent-ochreous ; an outer-discal black sinuous band terminating out- 

 wardly on the posterior margin, and with a pale olivescent-ochreous macular outer 

 border, followed by four superposed subapical minute pale-ochreous spots, and an 

 upper costal intersected spot, and beyond by a blackish submarginal fascia. Hind- 

 iving crossed by an indistinct blackish short medial band, which is divided in crossing 

 the cell, an angular discal band, a series of five prominent (and a sixth obsolescent) 

 black round spots with slight pale outer ring, followed by a lunular submarginal 

 fascia and a slender marginal line. Uuderside paler olive-brown. Foreiving with 

 the bands and spots as above, but much more distinctly defined, and the pale bor- 

 dering yellower, the subapical spots more prominent and ocellate — being black with 

 a lilacine-white speckled pupil, and all inwardly bordered by a whitish fascia ; sub- 

 marginal fascia followed by a slender marginal line. Hindwing crossed by two 

 silvery-white slender wavy subbasal lines and a discal line, the latter being broad at 

 its costal end and tapering to the upper median veinlet, where it is also brown- 

 speckled and has a contiguous short streak within the cell, and from thence it 

 extends slenderly and sinuous to its end, each line being also bent inward posteriorly 

 and joins a silvery-white line along the abdominal border ; a silvery-white streak 

 also extending along the lower median veinlet from its base to the discal line ; the 

 subbasal line, the upper inner-portion and the entire outer-edge of the discal line, 

 bordered with darker olive-brown ; beyond is a series of six prominent ocelli, the 

 sixth being duplex, each with a black centre and blue-speckled pupil, ochreous ring, 

 a brown ring, and all encompassed by a narrow indistinct lilacine-white outer line, 

 which is dilated exteriorly towards the apex ; beyond is a slender black marginal 

 line, inwardly bordered by a silvery-white line — which is dilated at the anal end, and 

 outwardly by ochreous. Abdomen and legs beneath pale olivescent-ochreous ; legs 

 above brown ; palpi black edged and with white lateral streak ; collar white. 



Female. Differs from the male only in its larger size, broader wings, and some- 

 what paler markings. 



Expanse, 2^ to 2f inches. 



Habitat. — N.-W. Himalayas. 



DrsTEiBUTiON. — " Appears to be confined to the Western Himalayas. Mr. L. de 

 Niceville took a large number of this species near the top of the Jalauri Pass on 

 July 29th, 1879 ; none were on the wing, but all were settled on the red flower of a 

 Persicaria, which grows abundantly in the thick forest, between 6000 to 8000 feet, 

 clothing the Kulu side of the Pass. Strangely enough, this flower was entirely dis-
