NYMPHALID.?:. 
costa to the first median nervulc, and sharply angulated outwardly at its middle on the third 
median nervule ; a short subapical bar from the costa ending with a round spot between the 
discoidal nervules, a large round spot on the lower median interspace, and the outer margin 
irregular (narrowest on the lower median interspace), and the inner margin extending to the 
submedian nervure, black. Hind wing with a similar angulate band beyond the cell, narrow 
from the costa, almost obliterated above the discoidal nervure, broad and prominent across 
the median nervules ; four large round submarginal spots — one on either side of the second 
subcostal, and one on either side of the second median nervule, and the outer margin, black ; 
two narrow orange lines on the black margin ; cilia orange. Underside. Fore wing paler 
yellow ; markings as on upperside, but the apex and outer margin also yellow, bearing a fine 
black line on the extreme margin, and another incomplete within it, and an irregular line 
much wider about the third median nervule, and followiug the outline of the dark border of 
the upperside ; the lower submarginal spot having a small white pupil, and the upper one 
developed into a perfect ocellus, with a bluish-white pupil, yellow iris, and blackish outer 
ring. Hind wing bright golden brown, with a broad much paler streak from the base covering 
the entire cell, and extending almost to the outer margin ; a line from middle of costal nervure 
across the cell, an irregular angulate line from the costa outside the cell to the submedian 
nervure, and two fine marginal lines black, a dusky sinuous submarginal line ; six submarginal 
ocelli, the third (sometimes absent) and sixth smaller, and the sixth geminate, all black with 
prominent bluish-white pupil ; yellow iris and blackish outer wing. Female similar in colour 
and markings." (^Marshall and de NiccviUc, I. c.) 
Probably a rare species in China ; I only received one specimen, which was 
captured at Omei-shan in July. This example is rather smaller than Indian 
specimens ; it has a small black spot on the secondaries placed between those 
which count second and third in the type, and all the black spots, excepting 
this additional one, have whitish pupils. 
Mr. Elwes says of this species : " I found this not uncommon in Sinchul 
and Tonglo from 6000 to about 8000 feet in the end of July and August, and 
more abundant at 7000 feet near Rikisum in British Bhotan. It flies quickly 
with a darting flight about the forest-patlis, settling on ordure and wet places, 
and returning when disturbed. It also settles to rest on damp shady rocks, 
and flies in wet and cloudy as well as in flue weiither. I never saw the 
female."

Male. Deep fuliginous lirown witli pale fulvous lincis and s])otH. Primaries- witli one longitudinal 
streak and two transverse bars in the caW ; just outside the cell tlu^ro is a small linear spot 
followed by four others (three linear and one round), and a series of flv(! forming a semicircle 
before the apex; there is a twice interrupted streak in the submedian interspace, the basal 
jiortion containing a dash of the ground-colour ; three fjpots in the lower and two in the ujjpcr
