Heemione minok, Esp. 8, 2. 
Expands from 2’0 to 2*25 in. General appearance somewhat 
resembling that of S. Hermione, but the expanse of the wings is less, 
and the sexes do not differ so markedly as in that species. The 
male has the submarginal band of the fore wings much more 
distinct than in Hermione, and yellowish white in colour and with 
two ocellated spots ; hind wings with a band of a similar colour, 
without or with a very indistinct spot towards the anal angle. 
Female resembles the male in colour and markings, but both are 
more distinct. Under side very like that of Hermione, but the hind 
wings have a very distinct white submarginal band, suffused along 
its hind-marginal edge : base of the wings very dark brown.

Cordula).
