shorter androconia haying three very short fine straight hair-like tips and truncate 
base; beyond is a narrow submarginal dusky-brown lunular ordinary fascia, and before 
the apex are two small indistinct pale brownish-ochreous costal spots. Hindiving 
with an ill-defined transverse discal angular dusky-brown fascia, and a submarginal 
lunular fascia, their intermediate area being paler ochreous-brown, and bearing 
five round blackish slightly pale-ringed spots; marginal line slender and bordered 
by pale brownish-ochreous 0 Underside pale olivescent ochreous-brown, glossy. 
Foreiving with two broad darker-brown bands crossing the cell, with a broad inter¬ 
vening and a narrow outer glossy purplish-white band; a posteriorly decreasing 
transverse discal dark-brown band with outer purplish-white border; beyond 
which are three, sometimes four, small superposed pale ocelli, and above them a 
costal whitish intersected spot, followed by a brown submarginal fascia and a slender 
marginal line. Hindiving crossed by three subbasal and a discal interrupted zigzag 
glossy purplish-white line, the third subbasal line narrowly inwardly-bordered by a 
dark-brown, and the discal line broadly outwardly-bordered by a dark-brown angular 
fascia; beyond which is a series of six prominent ocelli, the sixth being duplex, each 
with a black centre and white pupil, and the upper four also blue-speckled, an ochreous 
ring, a broader brown ring, and then an outer glossy purplish-white ring; outer 
marginal border dark-brown, traversed by a prominent slender glossy purplish-white 
marginal line, which is dilated before the anal angle.

herbage, and if disturbed generally fly up and settle on the trank of a tree, 
where they are difficult to distinguish among the dark moss. I took males in June 
and July on Sinchul; females are rarer, and fly but little, though sometimes taken
