This is the North-Indian representative form of the Javan and 

 Southern Indian T. philomela. In some respects, e. g. the trans- 

 verse subbasal, discal and subterminal brown bands on the wings, 

 the constantly larger size, and in the females often having more 

 than an indication of the pale transversely-irrorated ocellar area, 

 it approaches Y. haldus.

Wet-season form. — $ . Upperside brown, both fore and hind wing 

 with terminal margins much darker, and generally with more or 

 less distinct subbasal and discal dark bands. Fore wing with a 

 large, slightly oblique, oval, bipupilled, yellow-ringed, black, pre- 

 apical ocellus. Hind wing with two postdiscal, round, uni- 

 pupilled, similar but smaller ocelli, and very often one or two 

 minute tornal ocelli also. Underside similar to the underside in 

 T. philomela, but the ochraceous-white ground-colour paler, the 

 transverse brown striae coarser, the ocelli on the hind wing more 

 distinctly in e'chelon, two tornal, two median, and two pre- 

 apical, and on both fore and hind wing more or less distinctly 

 defined, subbasal, discal and subterminal brown transverse 

 bands. — $ . Differs on the upperside in having the area surround- 

 ing or bordering the ocelli on both fore and hind wing paler, closely 

 irrorated with brown striae, the discal transverse band generally 

 clearly defined, and very often both the tornal, and at least one of 

 the apical, ocelli distinct. On the underside it is paler than the 

 male, and has the subbasal, discal and subterminal transverse dark 

 bands more clearly defined. 



Dry -season form. — $ $. Upperside very similar to the above, 

 paler ; in the 2 often the ground-colour ochraceous white, closely 

 irrorated with brown striae ; ocelli as in the wet-season form, but 

 those on the hind wing often non-pupilled. Underside also paler 

 than in the wet-season form, the subbasal, discal and subterminal 

 bands on the whole more prominent ; ocelli on the hind wing 

 reduced to mere specks. 



Exp. cj 2 38-46 mm. (1-5-1-8").
