 with dark brown ; the oblique white bar as on the upperside.

S . Upperside bright or ochraceous brown, the apical half of the 

 hind wing orange-red ; fore wing with one or two pale preapical 

 spots ; hind wing with a postdiscal curved row of five black spots, 

 of which the upper two are much the larger. Underside very similar 

 to the underside in L. chandica, with a similar series of ocelli having 

 disintegrated centres on the hind wing ; but the ground-colour of 

 both wings is more of an ochraceous yellow, and the basal and 

 discal shadings of purple more brownish. 



2 • Very similar to the 2 of L. chandica, but the ground-colour 

 on the upperside deeper, more of an orange-red, the apical half of 

 the fore wiug a darker brown, and the white discal bar formed of 

 an oblique, short, broad fascia and two detached white spots bent 

 inwards at an angle to it. On the underside the colouring is 

 similar to that in L. chandica, but clearer and more striking. 



Exp. 6 2 72-80 mm. (2-85-3'2").

J 2 • Differs from L. chandica as follows :— <$ . Upperside 

 umber-brown with a silky gloss, never so dark as in L. chandica ; 

 hind wing with a posterior subterminal ochraceous-red patch 

 bearing a series of four black blind ocelli and a subterminal rather 

 obscure dark brown sinuous line. 2 • Differs from $ of L. chandica 

 in the absence of the ocelli on the upperside of the fore wing and 

 in the oblique discal white band being narrower, shorter, with 

 two triangular white spots at an angle below its lower end. 

 Underside, <S 2 : the subbasal and discal dark transverse lines 

 less sinuous than in L. chandica ; the discal line on the hind wing 

 only very slightly angulated, never produced towards the line of
