upperside between these spots and the clear margin appear narrower in the forewing, 

 almost resolved into flecks ; of the round spots immediately behind these the one 

 in the second cell is black bordered, those in the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth cells 

 are white bordered, and only the three lowest on the underside are bordered with 

 faint brown, the spot in the third cell is a mere point. On the hindwing this band 

 is still more disintegrated, and of the dark spots only the one in the second cell is 

 visible ; it is deep black, on the side towards the margin, with a fine white centre. 

 The series of lunulated spots, as also the undulating streak in fi-ont of the margin, 

 is a lighter reddish-brown, the border between the two on the forewing in cells five 

 and one b, and the hindwing in all the cells being tinged with pale violet-red. The 

 margin itself is scarcely darker. Two females fi'om Silhet " {Moschler, I.e.). 



Habitat. — Silhet. 



Note. — The above probably refers to an aberration or " sport " of one of the 

 species of this genus.

Imago. — Male. Upperside lilacine brownish-grey, the outer borders greyish- 

 fuliginous. Foreivmg with two irregular sinuous black lines across middle of the 

 cell, and two similar lines bordering the discocellulars, a transverse discal irregularly- 

 angulated more or less sHghtly diffused black line, followed by a recurved series of 

 six ocellated spots ringed with white and black, of which the upper two and the 

 fifth are the largest, and are transversely centred inwardly with ochreous-red and 

 outwardly with black, the others with blackish centre ; the first ocellus is preceded 

 by a small bifurcated white spot at the base of fourth and fifth subcostals ; beyond 

 is a submarginal and marginal somewhat diffused blackish lunular line. Eimhinng
