towards costa ; there is a blackish spot between the subcostal and discoidul nervules, and a 

 smaller one between the second and third median nervules. Undir surface : primaries jialc 

 olivaceous brown, clouded with yellowish on the discal area ; a pale yellowish band traverses 

 the wing from about the middle of the costa to inner angle, and is broken up into spots in 

 the median and submedian interspaces ; there is a white-pupillcd subapical ocellus, with a 

 bluisli dash on costa above it and a white spot in interspace below it ; marginal line bluish 

 white, edged internally with blackish and interrupted by the nervules : secondaries dark 

 olivaceous brown, the basal two thirds traversed by several wavy shining violet-grey lines ; 

 the outer edge of the basal portion of the wing is indented and edged with yellowish, most 

 conspicuously in the median interspace ; there is a series of six ocelli preceded by a shining 

 violet-grey waved line, all the ocelli are pupilled with violet-grey, but, excepting those of the 

 third and fourth, the pupils are minute; the first ocellus is followed by a patch of violet-grey, 

 and there ia a tinge of the same colour beyond the second and third ocelli ; marginal lino 

 follows the contour of the \N ings and is violet-grey, narrow towards costa, and broader towards 

 anal angle.

One example, taken at Omei-shan in June at an elevation of about 

 3500 feet. 



This species is allied to L. viola ceopi eta, but differs in being rounder in the 

 wing and redder in colour ; on under surface of primaries the macular band 

 is more conspicuous.

Male. Upperside brown. Anterior wings with a broad darker brown indistinct band on the 

 outer margin, and a largo triangular indistinct sericeous patch, having its base on the 

 in7ier margin and towards its apex extending beyond the end of the cell. Posterior wings 

 without any tufts of hair within the cell ; a submarginal row of four dark brown spots 

 without any white centre, and surrounded by j)ale brown rings, tlio sjjot nearest the apex and 

 the next but one being the largest. 



" Underside : anterior wings witli the cell crossed in the middle ))y two dark liars, tlic inner bar 

 thicker than the outer and the siiaee between being i)alo ; a dark line at the end of th(> cell : 

 two indibtiiift sjiots underneath each other towards the apex, with white centres and 

 suiTounded by pale rings ; the other markings on the anterior and those on the posterior 

 wings very nearly the same as on s/ce/t«, Hewitson, but on the ])()steiior wings the spot (in 

 the submarginal row of k])oIs) between the middle and lowest median nervules is much 

 snialler than in L. sicelis, and tlu; outer of tlie two narrow bands which cross the wings is 

 bifid at its lower end and fuilli( r apart from the inner band.
