S 2 • Upperside deep rich umber-brown, cilia brownish white ; 

 fore wing : basal half slightly darker, margin of darker area well- 

 defined, oblique, immediately followed in the $ by one or two 

 white spots, and beyond these, in both sexes, by a transverse series 

 of three yellow spots. Hind wing more elongate in the 2 than 

 in the $ ; in both sexes bearing a postdiscal series of four blind 

 ocelli, each ocellus pale-ringed in <$ , in $ encircled by a broad 

 ochraceous ring. Underside similar to the underside in L. scanda, 

 but ground-colour a lighter, brighter ferruginous ; bands across 

 cell and disc of fore wing dark ferruginous, the latter band in the 

 2 bordered by a few white spots ; postdiscal series of ocelli on 

 hind wing with outer ferruginous, not silvery purple, rings. 

 Antennae as in L. scanda ; head, thorax and abdomen brown, 

 thorax with bluish-green pubescence above. Male secondary sex- 

 marks as in L. scanda.

cJ. Resembles L. bhairava, but is considerably smaller, with 

 the dorsal margin of fore wiog very convex, and on the upperside 

 the ground-colour richer and darker, without spot of any kind. 

 Underside golden brown ; the basal half of the wings in some 

 specimens darker than the apical half ; the lines or bands crossing 

 the wings and the ocelli as in L. bhairava, but the former more 

 irregularly sinuous, the latter much smaller. — 2 • Only differs on 

 the upperside from the 2 °f &• bhairava in being smaller, and in 

 the ocelli on the hind wing being without any distinct iris. 

 Underside bright ochraceous, the basal half slightly darker and 

 more or less sharply demarcated from the brighter apical half of 

 the wings by a transverse discal dark line, which is outwardly 

 oblique on the fore wing and margined by three or four white 

 spots, and inwardly oblique on the hind wing; the transverse 

 basal and median lines as in the 6 ; the ocelli ill-defined, smaller, 

 almost obsolete. Antennas, head, thorax and abdomen brown ; 

 the antennas annulated with white.
