68 NYHPHALID^. 



discal fascia on both fore and hind wings, followed by a series of 

 ocelli similar to the ocellus on the upperside ; fore wing with four 

 ocelli, the anterior three small, all encircled by a siugle slender 

 yellowish line ; hind wing with seven ocelli also encircled by a 

 similar outer line ; subterminal and terminal liues as on the 

 upperside. 



Dry-season form. — <5 . Upperside similar. Underside ochraceous, 

 basal area darker than outer portions of wings, and crossed by a 

 still darker brown, transverse, somewhat obscure line followed by 

 a white transverse discal band, and beyond by a series of nearly 

 obsolete ocelli represented by mere silvery specks, encircled by a 

 dark sinuous line. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown. 

 Sex-mark in form 3, the posterior patch of specialized scales on 

 upperside of hind wing placed near the base of vein 1. 



Exp. <S 50 mm. (2"). 



Hab. Eecorded from the Taw district of Upper Burma.

 p. 37, pi. 4, fig. 1 ; M. $ de N. Butt. Lid. i, 1883, p. 133 ; Moore

Wet-season form. — <$ . Upperside bright rufous-brown, the 

 apex of the fore wing somewhat broadly and the terminal margins 

 of both wings more narrowly dusky black. Tore wing with a 

 small black pale-ringed median ocellus ; rarely one or two smaller 

 similar subapical ocelli. Hind wing uniform. Both fore and hind 

 wings with subterminal and terminal lines and the cilia brown. 

 Underside dark rich umber-brown. Tore and hind wing crossed 

 by a slightly curved purplish band, with slender subterminal 

 and terminal pale lines. Fore wing with two, a median and an 

 apical, hind wing with seven white-centred fulvous-ringed ocelli ; 

 the latter placed in a strong outward curve. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen bright rufous-brown, paler beneath. Sex- 

 mark in form 3, the posterior patch of specialized scales on the 

 upperside of the hind wing on middle of vein 1 a.- — 2 • Upperside 

 similar to the upperside in the c? 3 but paler, the ground-colour 

 not so bright. Underside also paler than in the <5 , the transverse 

 band broader ; the ocelli bordered by pale irregular lines almost 

 encircling them ; the apical ocellus on the fore wing sometimes 

 conjoined with a smaller ocellus above and below it, the sub- 

 terminal line on both fore and hind wing zigzag, the rest similar. 



Di-y -season form. — 6 2 • Similar, slightly darker ; the ocelli more 

 or less reduced in size, but I have not seen any specimen that has 

 them obsolescent or even reduced to specks. 



Exp. d $ 56-60 mm. (2-2-2-39"). 



Eab. Eecorded so far only from the Tenasserim Hills. 



This form is the representative race of the Javan M. oroatis, 

 Hewitson, from which it differs but slightly in the narrower dark 

 margins to the wings.
