both wings white alternated with brown. Underside similar, the 

 spots and markings somewhat blurred ; both fore and hind wing 

 shaded with purple and ochraceous ; the hind wing with a strongly- 

 curved postdiscal series of nine ocelli, the tornal ocellus geminate. 

 Antennae ochraceous ; head, thorax and abdomen brown. 



The Seasonal form khasiana, Moore, differs in having on the 

 upperside the ground-colour of the hind wing bright ochraceous, 

 the apex of the cell, the costal and the anterior half of the 

 terminal margin broadly, and a curved postdiscal series of six 

 ocellar marks blackish brown. 



Exp. cS 2 86-100 mm. (3-4-4").

S 2 • Hind wing more shortly caudate than in L. bhadra. 

 Upperside dark brown ; base of fore and posterior half of hind 

 wing clothed with long, soft, paler brown hairs. Fore wing : 

 basal halves of veins 1 and 2, median vein and discocellulars 

 entirely ochraceous white ; irregular discal and subterminal curved 

 transverse rows of ochraceous-white spots from costa to inter- 

 space 2, between the rows a similar spot in interspace 4 and two 

 very short streaks in interspace 1. Hind wing : basal half 

 uniform, outer half with two transverse rows anteriorly of spots 

 similar to those on the fore wing. Cilia brown alternated with 

 white. Underside somewhat similar. Fore wing : basal half of 

 interspaces 1 and 2, some spots and streaks in cell, and the 

 posterior spots of the discal and subterminal series bright ochra- 

 ceous ; apex mottled with purple, white, and dark brown. Hind, 

 wing richly blotched and mottled with purple irrorated with 

 brown scales, and dark umber-brown sinuous bands and lines;

 the hind wing. Antennae brown, annulated with white, club

Race pulahoides, Moore. — The Eastern forms can only rank as 

 a distinct race. They have been separated by Moore as pula- 

 hoides. Typically they differ in the spots being larger and more 

 prominent, and in the lining to basal portions of veins 1, 2 and 

 median vein of the fore wing being broader.
