Race malabarica, Fruhstorfer. — 3 2 • Upperside yellowish 

 brown, paling anteriorly to rich golden yellow on the fore wing, 

 shading anteriorly into dusky brown on the hind wing. Pore wing: 

 the apical half black, following a line from vein 12 opposite the 

 discocellulars, passing through apex of cell, obliquely across 

 middle of interspace 3 and curving down to tornus ; a black 

 spot near apex of cell coalescing with the inner margin of the 

 black colour ; a short, very oblique, broad golden-yellow band, 

 broader in the 2 than in the <$ , from middle of costal margin 

 to interspace 5 ; a spot beyond in line with it in interspace 4 ; 

 two, sometimes three, minute preapical white specks ; the cilia 

 fulvous, touched with white anteriorly. Hind wing uniform ; the 

 costal margin broadly as noted above, a subterminal narrow band 

 and narrower terminal line posteriorly, dusky black ; a postdiscal 

 black spot in interspaces 2 and 5 respectively ; the cilia fulvous. 

 Underside very variable, closely resembling a dry leaf. JNo two 

 specimens are ever alike. The ground-colour varies from reddish 

 to dark greenish brown with irrorations of greyish and black 

 scales ; apex of the fore and the terminal margin posteriorly of the 

 hind wing more or less lilacine ; fore and hind wings crossed by a 

 dark narrow discal fascia, generally bordered on the inner side by 

 a greyish line ; this fascia bent inwards at right angles above 

 vein 6 of the fore wing, and, in most specimens, bordered inter- 

 nally by a diffuse pale patch and externally by an oblique Avhitish 

 mark, beyond which is a subcostal white spot, followed by a 

 transverse sinuous postdiscal series of obscure ocelli crossing both 

 wings, each ocellus centred by a minute dot, white on the fore, 

 black on the hind wing. In the <$ there are generally, but not
