reduced in size or obsolescent, and the inner of the two sub- 

 terminal lines being more or less obscure and faintly marked.

 Khasi and Naga Hills ; Burma.

S $ . Very close to M. nicotia. Differs only in the conspicu- 

 ously darker ground-colour of the underside, in having the tuft of 

 hairs that overlies the sexual patch of specialized scales on the 

 upperside of the hind wing in the S brown not black, and in the 

 sex-mark on the uuderside of the fore wing being larger and 

 much paler in colour. These differences, slight as they are, seem 

 constant through a series. 



Exp. c? $ 50 mm. (nearly 2"). 



Hab. Sikhim ; Assam, the Khasi Hills. 



Only the wet-season ocellated form of this species has been 

 recorded.

Wet-season form. — tf $ . This form closely resembles M. nicotia, 

 but the males in all the specimens I have seen entirely want the 

 glandular secondary sexual mark on the underside of the fore 

 wing, and both sexes have from two to four complete ocelli on the 

 upperside of the hind wing. In M. nicotia there is generally but 

 one ocellus, when two are present the anterior ocellus is much the 

 smaller; whereas when two ocelli only are present on the hind 

 wing of M. lieri they are always subequal. As in M. misenus, the 

 tuft of hairs covering the sex-mark of specialized scales on the 

 upperside of the hind wing in the males is pale brown, not black. 



Dry-season form. — <5 . Mr. Doherty records (J. A. S. B. 1886, 

 p. 115) : — " I have also the dry-season form, one <S taken at 

 Jhulaghat 2000 feet, lacking the ocelli below, but otherwise 

 similar." 



Exp. S 2 64-70 mm. (2-45-2-75"). 



Hab. Recorded from Kumaun and Bhutan.
