6 2 - Very like the pale North-west Himalayan form of L. yama. 

 Upperside differs as follows : fore wing with one or two of the ocelli 

 always present, and beyond them ochraceous-white shading ; in $ 

 the ocelli four or five, very distinct and large, bordered outwardly 

 as in the tf with ochraceous. Hind wing : the ocelli more distinct. 

 Underside much paler ochraceous grey speckled with brown scales ; 

 cell of fore wing crossed by three zigzag bands, the intermediate 

 the broadest, bearing four spots of ochraceous grey; discal, 

 transverse, sinuous, brown band outwardly margined with ochra- 

 ceous grey ; ocelli distinct, with irides of ochraceous grey on 

 a brown ground ; subterminal and terminal sinuous lines brown, 

 distinct. Hind wing : three brown spots near base, followed by 

 three very irregular, sinuous, transverse brown lines, the inter- 

 mediate line broad and not extending below vein 6 ; ocelli oval, 

 larger, the series more sinuous than in L. yama, placed on a brown 

 ground, bordered on both sides by ochraceous grey, followed by 

 subterminal and terminal lunular brown lines.
