EREBUS CREPUSCULARIS. 197 
ornamented with circular marks and waved trans- 
verse lines of a lighter colour. 
That which we have figured affords a very cha- 
racteristic example of the group : it is a native of 
the East Indies. The anterior wings are dark brown 
at the base, but lighter towards the tip ; near the 
middle there is a pale bar, which runs obliquely to 
the middle, when it suddenly bends and runs to the 
anterior margin ; just witliin it there is a large eye- 
like mark ; not far from the margin there are seve- 
ral dark and light-coloured spots. The under wings 
are buff colour at the base, the rest rich brown, 
and crossed by two undulating lines of deeper 
brown, accompanied with a streak of buff. On the 
under side all the wings are pale clay colour, in- 
clining to buff, and there is a transverse irregular 
series of light-coloured marks, a large one towards 
the tip of the upper wings, and another on the 
disk. The edges of all the wings are deeply scol- 
loped. The body is of the same colour as the wings, 
and without markings. 
The example of this insect figured by Drury, 
which he states to have come from China, is a 
variety.
