bluish white spots, and the outer margin oebraeeous; this is also somewhat narrowly and obscurely 

 outwardly fuscous; the spot is situate a little beyond end of cell, imd rests on the two diseoidal 

 and the that median nervules; a submarginal waved fuscous fascia, and two marginal fuscous Hues, 

 Posterior wings with a broad pater submarginal fascia, on which are three ocellated black spots with 

 y. lhiw margins and bluish white centres, Lin largest of winch is situate between the second and third 

 median nervules, and the second and third are smallest, fused,, and surrounded by the same yellow margin 

 and situate near anal angle and outer margin betweon the third median rn rvule and subinediau nervure ; 

 a submarginal fascia and marginal lines as on anterior wing. Wings beneath pale greyish, mottled with 

 brown, and crossed by two ill-defined central subparallel brownish fasciae ; ocellated spots as above, but 

 more distinct and brighter, and posterior wings having an additional and similar ocellated spot, situate on 

 the subcostal nervuleB. Body and legs more or less coneolorous with wings.

This species also exhibits the inconstancy of ocellated macular markings. In the type 

 species described by Butter there was only one spot on upper surface of posterior wings, near 

 anal angle, whilst beneath the duplex one of the specimen here described was single. In 

 another Malaccan specimen in the British Museum there is a fourth very small ocellated spot 

 below the one at apex. 



Its nearest allied species is J\ tiareda, Koll., generally received from North-Eastern India, 

 but probably with a much wider distribution,

Male. Wings above fuliginous-brown, somewhat mottled with greyish towards outer margins, and with 

 ii distinct fuscous submarginal line. Anterior wings with si large and some what oblong ocellated spot, situate 

 a little beyond end of cell and placed on the lower discoidal and first median nervules ; this spot is black, 

 with an ochraceous margin, and with two inner silvery spots. Posterior wings with a broad paler 

 submarginal fascia, on which are two large submarginal ocellated spots placed between the median 

 nervules, and with faint indications of a third situate above discoid a I nervule ; these spoth an- Mark, with 

 nchraceous margins, and with an inner central silvery spot. Wings beneath pale greyish, mottled 

 with brown, both wings crossed by two waved, irregular, narrow brown fascia;, the inner one obscure and 

 passing through discoidal cells, the outer one distinct and crossing at cellular apices {there are sometimes 

 faint indications of a third inner basal fascia). Anterior wings with the nee Hated spot as above and with 

 a fuscous submarginal line. Posterior wings with six submarginal ocellated spots, of which the two central 

 ones are largest and the lower ones smallest ; the upper two are placed on each side of second subcostal 

 nervnle, the third and fourth between median mrvules, and the fifth and sixth neat anal angle between 

 third median nervule and submedian nervure; the upper two are also farthest removed from outer margin, 

 and the sixth and seventh are nearest to the same. Body and legs more or less coneolorous with wings. 



Female. Hewitsou described and ligured a female specimen (from "North India") in which the 

 posterior wings exhibit on the upper surface five distinct ocellated spots. It would also appear to be much 

 larger than the male.
