to Western China, is sufficiently aberrant in character to be worthy of a 
varietal name, and I therefore describe it as : — 
Var. VUligliSi,, var. nov. Expanse 00 millim. Eather more fuliginous-brown ; three distinct apical 
oceUi on primaries, and the ocellus towards inner angle of considerable size. On the under 
surface the basal two thirds browner ; ocelli on primaries as above, those on secondaries well 
defined. All the wings have a wavy blackish submarginal line, and the fringes are hardly 
paler than the ground-colour. 
In some respects this form agrees with de Niceville's description of 
M. sanatana, but the complete ocelli on the under surface of tlie wings distin- 
guish it. Probably M. sanatana, Moore*, and M. gopa, Feld.f, are Indian 
forms oi M. perdiccas ; and if this should ultimately prove to be the case, then 
sanatana, Moore, would rank as the tj'pe of the specie^. 
Occurs throughout China and Japan, and is also found in the Corea.
