margins platied between ilie nervules ■ of these the second and third are smallest and ob&eure, and the 

 fourth, situate hetween the second and third median nervules, largest; the iirst or upper one is placed 

 lit lwion the diseoidal nervules; two nun^mjit waved pub- \\m Posterior win^H with sewn Bubmargin&J 

 oeellated snots similar to those of anterior wings, and which, with the exception of the sixth and seventh, 

 are placed hetweeu the uervules, and are all encircled by a narrow pale grayish fascia ; of these the second 

 and third are smallest, the lust it* situate between the subcostal uervules, and the sixth and seventh are 

 placed between the third median nervule and submedian nervure; two marginal, Waved, pale greyish lines, 

 liodv and leys muiv or less conculorous with wings.

This variety appears to differ chieiiy in having but two oeellated spots on the under surface of anterior 

 wings, and was described us from " X. India."

 Mr. Hewitson himself • subsequently considered it as the equivalent of the M, «ttmitu> Moore, and in this 

 view 1 agree. Hewitson's specimen was received from (iilolo, 



Mac. — Continental India; Caehai' ilint. Mas.) — Ceylon (coll. Moore). — Burma ; Pegu (coll. Moore},— 

 Upper Ten asserim (Limborg), — Malay Peninsula: Perak (coll. Godm, & Salv.) j Singapore (coll. Moore). — 

 Java. — Philippines.— Formosa (coll. Moore). 



This, like Jf. mhieits, appears to be a protean species, though the differences are only what 

 may be expected by those who take an e volution ary view of the origin of the oeellated spots, 

 and consequent variability of the same. Mr. Butler f 1ms inadvertently shown this variability, 

 as in comparing the form samba with typical hlasim he states that the Fabrician species has 

 11 three ocelli on the underside of the front wings," whilst, comparing it with the form la I asm, 

 he states that hhtsius has but two. 



I have not been able to examine a female specimen, which, however, Air, M^ht- describes 

 as being similar to the male. 



The specimen figured was collected in lVrak by Dr. Townsend.
