nated with ochreous-wliite. Forewing crossed by an inner-discal glandular fascia , 
clothed with numerous short tapering black-scales, with tridentate tips, the outer 
points of which are divergent, and a few interspersed larger broad ribbed-scales, with 
tridentate or quadridentate tips; two blackish bars within the cell, their interspace 
being pale olivescent-ochreous; an outer-discal black sinuous band terminating out¬ 
wardly on the posterior margin, and with a pale olivescent-ochreous macular outer 
border, followed by four superposed subapical minute pale-ochreous spots, and an 
upper costal intersected spot, and beyond by a blackish submarginal fascia. Hind- 
wing crossed by an indistinct blackish short medial band, which is divided in crossing 
the cell, an angular discal band, a series of five prominent (and a sixth obsolescent) 
black round spots with slight pale outer ring, followed by a lunular submarginal 
fascia and a slender marginal line. Underside paler olive-brown. Forewing with 
the bands and spots as above, but much more distinctly defined, and the pale bor¬ 
dering yellower, the subapical spots more prominent and ocellate—being black with 
a lilacine-white speckled pupil, and all inwardly bordered by a whitish fascia; sub¬ 
marginal fascia followed by a slender marginal line. FLindwing crossed by two 
silvery-white slender wavy subbasal lines and a discal line, the latter being broad at 
its costal end and tapering to the upper median veinlet, where it is also brown- 
speckled and has a contiguous short streak within the cell, and from thence it 
extends slenderly and sinuous to its end, each line being also bent inward posteriorly 
and joins a silvery-white line along the abdominal border ; a silvery-white streak 
also extending along the lower median veinlet from its base to the discal line ; the 
subbasal line, the upper inner-portion and the entire outer-edge of the discal line, 
bordered with darker olive-brown; beyond is a series of six prominent ocelli, the 
sixth being duplex, each with a black centre and blue-speckled pupil, ochreous ring, 
a brown ring, and all encompassed by a narrow indistinct lilacine-white outer line, 
which is dilated exteriorly towards the apex; beyond is a slender black marginal 
line, inwardly bordered by a silvery-white line—which is dilated at the anal end, and 
outwardly by ochreous. Abdomen and legs beneath pale olivescent-ochreous ; legs 
above brown ; palpi black edged and with white lateral streak; collar white. 
Female. Differs from the male only in its larger size, broader wings, and some¬ 
what paler markings. 
Expanse, 2J to 2f inches. 
Habitat.— N.-W. Himalayas. 
Distribution. —“ Appears to be confined to the Western Himalayas. Mr.. L. de 
Niceville took a large number of this species near the top of the Jalauri Pass on 
July 29th, 1879; none were on the wing, but all were settled on the red flower of a, 
Persicaria, which grows abundantly in the thick forest, between 6000 to 8000 feet, 
clothing the Kulu side of the Pass. Strangely enough, this flower was entirely dis-*
