partagees a peu pres au mDieu par deux lignes rousses, courbes et sinueuses, partant de la 
cote et aboutissant au bord interne. Bord externe orne d'une ranges de six yeux semblables 
a ceux de I'aile superieure, mais de dimensions difFerentes : le premier est le plus large, noir 
et detache des autres, les deux suivants sent assez petits et le quatritme du double plus grand, 
le cmquieme est noir et du double du precedent, le dernier, egalement noir, est petit et 
souvent double. Les quatre ailes sont bordees d'un double lisere brun a intervalles jaunsitres ; 
frangcs d'un brun clair. Corps de la couleur des ailes. Antennes brunes, annelces de blanc, 
a massue en partie fauve. Decrit sur six males appartenant a la collection du Museum." 
{Poujade, I. c.) 
The above description applies exactly to some of my female specimens of 
this species, but others have five distinct ocelli on upper surface of second- 
aries, and one example has a double subapical ocellus on primaries. 
In my male specimens the outer area of primaries does not appear to be 
appreciably paler than the rest of the wing, but the pale fascia, as shown in 
the figure, is generally visible. The ocelli of primaries are often smaller than 
in the female, and the lower one is always ^^dthout white pupil. 
The male specimen from Chang-yang (Plate VII. fig. 2), described by me 
as Lethe occulta, is without doubt referable to L. (M.) oculatissima, Poujade, 
but is larger than male specimens from Western China, and on the under 
surface of primaries there are but four ocelli, and the second and third of 
these are very indistinctly formed ; on the secondaries there are six ocelli, but 
the thu-d and fourth are very shadowy, and the outer central transverse line 
is angulated below the first ocellus. I think the name of occulta may be 
retained for the Central Chinese race of this species. 
The typical form is common throughout Western China, but so far it is 
represented in Central China by the var. occxdta only.
