Satyrus autonoe, Godart, Enc. Metli. ix. p. 518 (1823). 
Var. CelaBno, var. nov. (Plate XI. fig. 0, cf.) Subapical ocellus of primaries very small, and 
that between the first and second median nervules is only represented by a minute blackish 
spot ; the outer edge of the dark basal half of the wings is only once angulated on the 
primaries, and very obtusely angled on the secondaries. On the under surface of primaries 
the same differences obtain ; but the secondaries are much darker, the white central band 
rather wider, venation is also white. 
Expanse 5(5 millim. 
One male specimen taken in Jnly, at an elevation of 10,000 feet, at 
How-kow in Thibet. 
M. Alplieraky records a form of Satyrus autonoe from North-western China, 
which he describes under the varietal name of extrema *, as follows : — " Multo 
major, fasciis albis (infumatis) distinctissimus, orbiculis nigris cseruleo-pupillatis 
multo majoribus. 6 c? =56-56^ millim." I have received specimens of this 
form from M. Grum. Grshimailo, taken by himself in the Dshachar Moun- 
tains, Thibet ; also examples of var. sibirica, Staudinger (dilutior, fasciis 
albicantibus), from the Thian-chan.

Male. Dark brown. Primaries have two black spots with pale blue centres ; secondaries have a 
smaller blue-centred black spot between the first and second median nervules, and the outer 
margin is slightly dentate. Under surface paler than above ; the spots of primaries are 
ringed with yellowish : secondaries have the basal two thirds limited by an obtusely angulate 
brown line, which is broadly bordered outwardly with pale greyish ; there is a short trans- 
verse pale greyish streak from about the middle of the costa, and a blackish submarginal 
band. 
Female. Paler and with larger ocellated spots. 
Var. bipunctatus. " Figura S. phcudri sed paulo major, alis posticis subtus : fascia undulata, 
subalba, punctis nigris postice duobus." (2IotscJudsl-y, 1. c.)
