reddish flush on tlio cemnil area intersected by the median nervules ; sometimes the apical 
ocellus has a white pupil. Secondaries liavo a distinct whitish submarginal line, and in some 
specimens there is an ill-formed ocelhis in each median iuterspacc. 
Expanse, d 54-GO millim., $ 5G-00 millim. 
In one male specimen from rn-tsu-fon<^ there is a patch of reddisli scales 
under the median nervure of primaries, and in anotlier example from Ta- 
chien-lu the fascia of primaries is very narrow, and the apical ocellus and 
white spots are absent. 
It occurs up to 10,000 feet, and is found tliroughout June and July, and 
at Wa-shan and Ta-chien-lu in August, and is widely distributed and not 
uncommon in many other parts of Western China.

Male. Fuliginous brown. Primaries have three pale fulvous apical spots and a transverse band 
be3-ond the middle of the wing, composed of seven pale fulvous spots, the fourth and sixth of 
these are triangular, the seventh is placed above the outer angle and is intersected by the 
submedian nervure. On tlie secondaries the pattern of the under surface is faintly reproduced, 
and in some specimens there are three or four white points on the submarginal area, which 
represent the pupils of the shadowy ocelli. Fringes white, chequered with tlic ground-colour. 
Under surface of primaries blackish ; there is a pale fulvous longitudinal streak on the basal 
portion of diseoidal cell and a transverse dash about the middle, these marks are sometimes 
united; beyond the cell is a pale fulvous band interrupted on the median and submedian 
interspaces ; there is a distinct ocellus towards apex, with two white spots above it and a pale 
fulvous one below ; the median nervure and branches are fulvous to the middle of the wing, 
and there are some fulvous clouds under this nervure : secondaries are creamy white, radiated 
and spotted with black at the base ; the central black band is anguhited and much inter- 
rupted ; the submarginal baud is composed of six large black spots with white centres, and 
there is a series of oblong black spots, followed by a white line, on the outer margin. 
Female. In addition to the markings of the male on the upper surface of primaries, this sex has 
a broad fulvous bar on the diseoidal cell, and a dash of the same colour on first median 
nervule, and, in some specimens, at the base of second median nervule ; secondaries and under 
surface as in the male. 
Expanse, J 04 millim. , $ 54-G4 millim. 
In some examples of the male from Pu-tsu-foug and Ta-chien-lu, the 
fulvous markings on the upper surface of primaries are only represented by 
the apical spots, which are very small, and vestiges of the fourth and sixth 
spots of transverse band ; on the under surface of primaries the fulvous 
markings arc, witli the exception of the clouds below median nerve, re- 
placed by white.
