an elevation of 5000 feet from April to November, and is also found in 
Java.

Mcde. Fuliginous brown ; primaries with a broad whitish transverse band, which is interrupted by 
the subcostal nervure and does not extend beyond the third submediau nervule ; there are one 
or two blackish spots with white centres towards anal angle of secondaries. Under surface 
with the fascia on primaries as above ; two submarginal ocelli below apex : secondaries with 
three transverse lilacine lines, the central one wavj ; six submarginal ocelli, each with a 
white pupil and reddish iris ; the first ocellus is not much larger than the fifth, and the third 
is the smallest of the series. 
The female is rather larger and paler on both surfaces. 
Expanse, S 60 millim., 5 64-68 miUim. 
Occurs in June and July at several places in Western China. 
The width of the white fascia of primaries varies considerably, and to a 
greater extent than is the case in specimens from Darjiling. 
A common Himalayan species, occurring up to about 9000 feet from April 
to November. 
According to Col. Lang, as quoted by Marshall & de Niceville (/. c), L. verma 
is abundant in the North-west Himalayas, frequenting shady places and 
alighting on the trunks of rhododendrons and oaks in preference to rocks.

Male. Blackish brown ; apical third slightly paler, a pale band intersected by a line of the ground- 
colour on the outer margins of all the wings, but most distinct on the secondaries. Two 
faintlj'-outlined ocelli near apex of primaries and five on secondaries ; of these last the fourth 
and fifth are the most distinct, the white pupils and pale irides being well marked. The 
others are very indistinct, and appear to be the ocelli of the underside showing through the 
wing.
