postdiscal and subterminal broad lines as on the fore wing. 

 Underside brown, with very broad darker brown transverse fascia?, 

 the interspaces between the markings irrorated with purplish 

 silvery scales. Fore wing with two sinuous fasciae on basal 

 half succeeded by a discal fascia, very broad at the costal 

 margin and decreasing in width to the dorsum, bearing on its 

 outer border a row of obscure ocelli. This is succeeded by a zig- 

 zag dark line, and sinuous subterminal and terminal lines ; apex 

 and tornal area suffused with purplish silvery. Hind wing : two 

 irregular, very broad, dark brown, curved short fasciae near base ; 

 a straight, transverse, prominent, narrow ochreous-brown discal 

 band denned outwardly by a black line ; a transverse postdiscal 

 dark brown fascia, widest in the middle and bearing outwardly a 

 curved row of ochreous-brown white-centred ocelli, followed by 

 a zigzag dark line in continuation of the one on the fore wing ; 

 a subterminal somewhat diffuse dark fascia and a terminal dark 

 line. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen dark brown. 



Exp. s 2 56-77 mm. (2-2-3"). 



Hah. More or less throughout our limits and extending to 

 China and Sumatra. 



The ground-colour and even the markings vary very much, 

 some specimens being almost ochreous brown, the ocelli often 

 ochreous-ringed on the underside ; the transverse discal fascia on 

 hind wing often with one or two subcostal white spots.

<S 2 - Upperside olive-brown. Fore wing with four sinuous, 

 short, black, transverse bars across cell-area, the outermost defining 

 the discocellulars ; the space between the middle pair of these bars, 

 two spots beyond the apex of cell, an outwardly angulated sinuous 

 discal series of spots, a postdiscal interrupted series of similar spots 

 yellowish or light ochraceous ; also an ochraceous inner subterminal, 

 anteriorly broken line, inwardly margined with dark brown; a 

 large discal black, blue-centred, reddish-ringed ocellus and a much
