little before apex, from costa to second subcostal nervnle, a large elon- 
gate fuscous marking, leaving two wliite spots between it and the 
submarginal streak ; immediately beneath and slightly beyond this 
marking an obscure fuscous red-centred pale-yellow-ringed ocellus ; 
below this some greyish irroration, extending to anal angle, but inter- 
rupted between second and first median nervule by a conspicuous red, 
blue-pupilled, black-clouded, yellow^-and-black ringed ocellus; the trace 
of a faint grey line from costa, about middle, straight to before anal 
angle or inner margin, where it becomes darker but suflused. Under 
SIDE. — Duller, iridescence much fainter, rery thinly irroratecl tcith Jus- 
C021S, except about a central land ; the fuscous markings only indicated 
by a greyer tint ; near bases a common double transverse irregular 
stria (indistinct in hind-wing) from costal nervure of fore-wing to sub- 
median nervure of hind-wing ; also a common fuscous streak from first 
median nervule of fore-wing to inner margin near anal angle of hind- 
wiug. Fore-wing : a very short, thin transverse stria in cell close to 
base ; a double stria, closing cell, from costa to below first median 
nervule, where its outer edge joins the common fuscous streak ; fuscous 
spots near hind-margin and posterior angle represented by two imper- 
fect fuscous ocelli in white rings ; another similar (or more imperfect) 
ocellus near subapical projection. Hind-'iving : the two ocelli equally 
distinct and well coloured, but the low^er one the larger; anal-angular 
termination of submarginal streak enlarged and conspicuously fuscous. 
^ LiliC the male, hut with cdl the fuscous marhings broader. Fore- 
wing : basal grey ill defined or almost obsolete ; common fuscous 
streak of under side usually more or less distinctly marked, inter- 
rupted, commencing on subcostal nervure a little beyond cell, and 
sharply angulated on third median nervule ; an additional small white 
spot immediately beyond the first in apical fuscous ; the two large 
black discal spots usually so suflusedly increased as to be confluent 
with the hind-marginal fuscous, and so enclosing three or four whitish 
spots. Hind-icing : the common streak distinct ; other markings 
much as in male ; the upper ocellus more obscured with fuscous. 
Under side. — Fuller, nnich more closely irroratcel than in nude, inclin- 
ing to yellowish (in one example, rery pale sandy-hroicnisli). Hind-wing : 
the ocelli remarkably smaller, rather ovate than circular, much duller 
in colouring. 
The subapical projection of the fore-wing is considerably longer 
in the female than in the male. 
This butterfly is nearly related to >S'. Anacardii, L. It is dis- 
tinguished by its smaller size (especially in the male, where this is 
very remarkable) ; white, instead of greenish, ground-colour ; much 
duller iridescence, and great development of the dark markings, espe- 
cially in the apical area of the fore-wings ; while the under side is 
conspicuously duller and less metallic, more irrorated, without while 
variegation, and with uncoloured and almost obsolete ocelli in the fore-
