Male. Wings above brown, strongly suffused with bright vinkci-mis. Anterior win^s with nhout 

 apical third paler, on which ore three obscure ocellated spots, the upper two smallest and situate on each 

 side of upper discoidal nervules, the third and largest between second ami third median nervules, and with 

 two obscure dark marginal Hues. Posterior win^s much paler towards apical margin, with two dark 

 marginal lints, mid with a KMluuargiiiul waved, narrow, dark fascia. Wiu»H beneath pale ochraceous, 

 both wings crossed by a very broad, slightly darker fascia, the margins of which are pale fuscous ; 

 on anterior wings its outer margin is at snu< little distance beyond end of cell, and on posterior wings it 

 passes about apex of cell; beyond this fascia Ihe colour is paler and tilled with violaceous. Anterior 

 wings with a submarginal series of live ocellated spots, black with while centres and yellowish murgins, 

 surrounded with pale fuscous, of which the third and fourth are smallest and the lift Ij largest [sometimes 

 the upper four arc of equal size) ; these spots are placed between the nervules, the lirst above upper 

 discoidal nervule, and the lift between second and third median uervules; a sixth very small and obscure 

 spot is sometimes found beneath the third median nervule; a strongly waved, narrow, pale fuscous 

 submarginal fascia, and two fuscous marginal Hues. Posterior wings with seven ocellated spots similar to 

 those of anterior wings, of which the second, third and fourth are smallest, and the iiftb largest, as in the 

 specimen figured, but the upper four are variable in she ; these, with the exception of the last, are all 

 placed between the nervules, the first between the subcostal nervules, and the seventh on submedian 

 nervine; a narrow submarginal fascia and two marginal liueB as on anterior wing. Body and legs more 

 or less coneolorous with wings. 



Male possessing a long tuft of dark hairs at subcostal base of posterior wings, and with an indistinct 

 glandular patch covered with short hairs about centre of submedian nervure of anterior wings, obscure 

 above but distinct beneath. 



Exp. wings, 50 millini. 



JIai:.— Malay Peninsula; Singapore (Kirby*). — Sumatra (coll. Hewits.} — Borneo (colls. Moore and 

 Godm. & Salv.) 



This species appears to possess the usual variation in macular markings, and is included 

 among the butterflies of this fauna, on the authority of the Singapore specimen in the 

 HewitBonian collection. I have not seen it myself in any other collection from the Malay 

 Peninsula* nor have I been able to examine a female specimen.
