120 nymphalidjE. 



Var. latistigma, Moore, has the secondary sex-mark in the <$ 

 very broad, and in typical specimens of the variety the underside 

 altogether paler ; var. brevistic/ma, Moore, has the sex-mark very 

 short ; and var. tenuistigma, Moore, the same very narrow. The 

 size of the insect, the shades of the ground-colour of the wings, 

 the distinctness of the transverse discal band, the presence or 

 absence of ocelli are all variable characters, as variable as the size 

 of the secondary sex-marks on the wings of the males.

S $ • Very closely resembles on the upperside small specimens 

 of M. davendra, Moore; but on the underside there is no transverse 

 band on the fore wing ; the preapical ocellus is broadly bordered 

 with very pale yellow on the inner side, the colour being continued 

 to the costa in a short oblique streak; the costal and terminal 

 margins and apex of wing white, thickly irrorated with minute 

 brown scales. Hind wing pale greyish white, thickly irrorated 

 with reddish-brown scales that form irregular discal. and sub- 

 terminal obscure bands, with the outer margins defined by curved, 

 highly sinuous dark lines ; ocelli entirely absent. 



Exp. s 2 47-52 mm. (1-88-2-03").

($ . Upperside umber-brown ; cilia brown, tipped with grey. 

 .Fore wing with a preapical black ocellus having a minute fulvous 

 centre and broad orange zone ; in some specimens a similar but 

 much smaller ocellus in interspace 2. Hind wing uniform. 

 Underside: fore wing dull orange, the costa, the apex broadly, 

 the terminal and dorsal margins greyish brown, a discal sinuous 

 and a subterminal straighter transverse dark line ; the preapical 

 ocellus as on the upperside, but ringed with yellow. Hind wing- 

 greyish brown with delicate transverse brown striae, crossed by a 

 zigzag curved discal and an obscure subterminal sinuous dark line, 

 the tornal area with one or two minute black yellow-ringed ocelli. 



2 . Upperside similar, but fore wing with a large postdiscal 

 area orange, bearing a round black spot in interspace 2, a 

 smaller black spot in interspace 3, and a preapical ocellus as in 

 the S . Underside also similar to that in the S , but on the fore 

 wing with the round black spot in interspace 2 as on the upper- 

 side, only with a zone of yellow. 



Exp. cS 2 56-62 mm. (2-25-2-5").
