of the two confluent. Hindwing with seven ocelli, the fourth blurred, the third 
smallest, the fifth as large as all the others united. Margin with an ochreous brown, 
and an obscure violet line bordered by dark lines. Cilia dark. 
cc Expanse, 57 millimetres.” 
Habitat. —Nicobars. 
“ The absence of the ocellus on the forewing above, and the violet band of the 
underside unmarked with white distinguish Manii from the female of the Andamanese 
Realm. From the female of the wet-season brood of Anaxias (India) it differs on the 
underside in the uniform paler and more ochreous brown of the base ; in the great 
breadth of the white band which extends almost to the end of the cell; in the very 
unequal ocelli, in the absence of the lilac gloss discally and submarginally ; and in 
the darker apex, and obsolescent discal band of the fore wing.” (Doherty, he. 257.) 
Distribution.— u One female taken at Gonyi, Great Nicobar; two females at 
Ikuya, Little Nicobar.” (Doherty, l.c. p. 257.) 
Genus SAM UN DR A, 
Imago. —Male. Differs from Virapa (F. Anaxias) in its broader and more 
rounded wings. Forewing with the costa comparatively shorter, more convex, the 
apex more obtuse, and the exterior margin almost erect and convex, thus giving this 
wing a much less triangular shape ; the submedian vein is much curved downward 
from the end of the swollen base, and the hairy tuft over the glandular patch on the 
upperside is situated above the submedian (not above and below it, as in F. Anaxias ), 
the hairs of the tuft also are pale brown, not black as in the latter species. Hincl- 
wing with the cell much broader in the middle ; the subcostal vein starting further 
from the base of the costal, the branch of the subcostal is also emitted further from 
the base and curves downward and outward; the discocellular starts from near the 
base of the branch (not at about one-third from its base as in F. Anaxias ), the dis¬ 
cocellular is therefore nearly twice its length and is very outwardly oblique, its upper 
end being much curved. In the female the discocellular of the hind wing starts from 
the junction of the two subcostals—not at some distance beyond the base of the 
branch, as in F. Anaxias . The palpi are comparatively longer, straighten, and some¬ 
what porrected. Antennce much longer, with a more slender, longer, and narrower 
club.
