much broader discal band, in the $ bordered outwardly by pale 

 yellow on the anterior portion of the fore wing, followed by a 

 broad, somewhat diffuse dark band, and subterminal and terminal 

 slender lines. Finally, a postdiscal row of somewhat obscure black 

 ocelli, two or three on the fore, six on the hind wing ; the ocelli 

 white-pupilled, with an inner and an outer ring of pale brown and 

 an intermediate darker ring. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 brown. Male sex-marks as in L. Tcansa.

<5 2 • Resembles L. Tcansa, from which it differs as follows : — 

 Upperside. <$ . Fore wing : a very distinct transverse discal dark 

 line, the three preapical white spots larger and more conspicuous. 

 Hind wing : the postmedian black spots placed on a broad band of 

 rich ochraceous red. $ . Ground-colour on both wings ochraceous 

 red, rarely olivascent brown. Fore wing: the preapical white 

 spots and transverse discal white band more distinctly marked, 

 very often the whole basal half of the wing ochraceous red. Hind 

 wing : the curved series of postdiscal black spots as in the <$ , 

 placed on an ochraceous-red ground, which colour spreads inwards 

 almost to the base of the wing. Underside, S 2 : similar to the 

 underside of the c? 2 °f ■£■ Tcansa, but of a lighter vinaceous tint. 

 Male sex-marks as in L. Tcansa.

S 2 • Termen of bind wing scalloped, broadly dentate at apex 

 of vein 4. <5 . Upperside : fore and hind wings velvety brownish 

 black, darkest on the basal half ; cilia conspicuously white alter- 

 nated with brown ; hind wing shaded with ochraceous red 

 posteriorly, sometimes entirely dark brown, the ocelli of the 

 underside often showing through. Underside pale greyish ochra- 

 ceous brown, base and disc of wings shaded with pale purple and 

 crossed by irregularly sinuous subbasal and discal maroon-brown 

 fasciae, the latter angulate at vein 4 on the hind wing, the space 

 enclosed in the angle dark brown; fore wing with an almost 

 straight series of four to six pale ocelli ; hind wing with a curved 

 series of six better-defined but somewhat irregularly-shaped ocelli, 

 their centres disintegrated ; both wings with slender subterminal 

 and terminal dark lines.
