Wet-season form. — <$ 2- Upperside dull vandyke-brown; the 

 terminal margins narrowly paler ; fore and hind wings with a 

 slender terminal dark brown line ; fore wing with a large white- 

 centred fulvous-ringed median and a very much smaller similar 

 preapical ocellus. Hind wing uniform. Underside paler ; terminal 

 half ochraceous brown, paler than basal half, the latter bordered 

 by a straight dark line followed by an ochraceous-white trans- 

 verse band diffuse on the outer side ; fore wing with the two ocelli 

 as on the upperside and a third ocellus in interspace 6. Hind 

 wing normally with seven similar ocelli ; third from tornus the 

 largest, fourth very small, sometimes absent ; fore and hind wings 

 with sinuous dark brown sub terminal and terminal lines. Antennae, 

 head, thorax and abdomen brown ; antennae annulated with white, 

 club dark brown, ochraceous at apex. 



Dry -season form. — S 2 • Differs from the wet-season form only in 

 the ocelli being reduced to mere white-centred black specks, and the 

 subterminal and terminal lines being more evenly curved and form- 

 ing slender lunules between the veins. Male sex-mark in form 1.

Wet-season form. — S 2 • Upperside vandyke-brown, terminal 

 margins of both fore and hind wing narrowly paler, marked with 

 a subterminal dark slender line. Fore wing normally with a 

 large white-centred fulvous-ringed black ocellus in interspace 2, 

 and a smaller similar ocellus in interspace 5, but sometimes the 

 anterior ocellus is absent, or there are one or two additional 

 similar ocelli above and below it. Hind wing uniform. Underside : 

 basal two-thirds of both fore and hind wing dark brown, sharply de- 

 fined and bordered by an outwardly diffuse pinkish transverse band 

 followed by a series of five ocelli on the fore, seven on the hind 

 wing, similar to the ocelli on the upperside, but placed on a light 

 brown background. Succeeding these there are a sinuous trans- 

 verse and outer subterminal and terminal slender dark brown lines. 



Dry-season form. — 6 2 • Upperside similar to that in the wet- 

 season form, but the pale terminal margins of the wings broader. 

 Underside : basal two-thirds of the wings dark, terminal third 

 light umber-brown. Basal portion crossed by two darker brown 

 lines and bounded by a slightly arched line of the same colour, 

 followed by an outwardly diffuse pinkish band, and a series of
