1S86.] Lepidoptera of Gachar. 349 



and dry season form (M. indistans and M. visala, Moore) was obtained 

 in Silcliar on 3rd April. The latter form must swarm in its season just 

 as we have above given evidence that the wet season generation does in 

 its season.

of. Wings above and below dark sepia, fringed with ashy- white. 

 Upperside. Forewing with the costal and outer margins regularly arched ; 

 with a narrow and very indistinct light brownish discal band extending, 

 parallel to the outer margin, from the subcostal nervure to the first 

 median nervule ; with two velvety-black, white-pup illed ocelli encircled 

 by a slender iris of ochreous-brown of almost the same shade as, but 

 more distinctly expressed than, the discal band ; with the jSrst of these 

 ocelli the smaller, triple (having a minute white-pupilled ocellule run 

 together with it at either end), and so placed that its pupil lies in the 

 fold between the discoidal nervules ; with the second ocellus much the 

 larger, circular, and placed in the middle of the first median interspace, 

 whence it extends a short distance into the two adjoining interspaces ; 

 and with two obsolete anteciliary pale lines. Sindwing above with a 

 single perfect and slightly elongated ocellus in the first median inter- 

 space, the bounding nervules of which it does not reach ; with a minute 

 rudimentary ocellus on the fold of the discoidal interspace on one side 

 only ; and with the anteciliary pale lines more distinct than in the fore- 

 wing. Underside darker and more richly coloured, but not striated • 

 with a narrow cretaceous-white common discal band extending from 

 the subcostal nervure in the forewing to the submedian nervare in the 

 hindwing, where it runs into the inner of the two pale anteciliary lines 

 which, equally distinct in both wings, are somewhat coarser in the fore- 

 wing ; and with a third pale line following the outer configuration of 

 the ocelli. Forewing ocellated as above. Hindwing with seven, ocelli 

 arranged in two decreasing series, the first of which consists of four 

 slightly decreasing ocelli, and the second, of three more rapidly decreas- 

 ing ones, of which the first corresponds to the one visible above, but is 

 larger, so extending beyond the limits of its interspace on both sides 

 as to touch the second, which is united to the third or anal. Antennce 

 above concolorous with the wings and body, below lighter and indis- 

 tinctly annulated, becoming orange towards the black orange-tipped 

 club. Cilia ashy-white throughout. 



Expanse, $ , 2-5 inches. 



Hab. — Cachar and Sikkim.
