times attached an upper minute ocellule; a much smaller subapical ocellus between the 
radials, and in some specimens a very small contiguous ocellus is also present above 
the latter, whilst in others there is also a much smaller ocellule beneath it, both of 
which, or sometimes one of them only, is represented by a white dot. Underside 
paler; of an olivescent ochreous-brown colour, and palest on the outer border ; 
crossed by a common discal line which is outwardly-bordered with pale violet, which 
is slightly excurved, generally even, but sometimes slightly wavy, and bent inward 
above the anal angle; two very indistinct, but always present, wavy brown lines, 
cross the cell of the forewing, and a similar continuous wavy line extends across the 
hindwing to the abdominal margin. Forewing with three anterior and one posterior 
submarginal white dots, and on the hindwing seven similar white dots ; both series 
of which in some specimens are more or less represented by minute ocelli ; both 
wings with a submarginal sinuous slender brown line and a wavy marginal line. 
Cilia cinereous. Male with a tuft of black hairs overlapping a glandular patch of 
scales on each side of the middle of the submedian vein of the forewing, and on the 
hindwing with a glandular tuft of yellow hairs exserted over the swollen base of the

Of the illustrations on our Plate No. 56, figs. 1, la,b, represent the male and female 
of the wet-season form, and figs. 2, 2a, b, the male and female of the dry-season form. 
Distribution. —In the N.-W. Himalayas, Mr. Graham Young obtained the dry- 
season form in the Kulu Valley at the end of May and in -June (Butt. Ind. i. 108). 
Specimens from Raniket in Kumaon, taken at 6000 feet in April, are in the British 
Museum. Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 114) records it from Western 
Kumaon, obtaining the dry-season form at Askot, 5000 feet, in October, and the 
wet-season form at Ramgarh and Takula, 5000—6000 feet. Major-General G. Ramsay 
obtained it in the Nepal Valley. In Sikkim it has been taken by Mr. L. de Niceville 
in October, at about 3000 feet (J. A. S. Beng. 1882, 55). According to Mr. II. J. 
Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, 305) “ both forms occur not uncommonly in the 
valleys of Sikkim up to about 3000 feet, the wet-season form (Gopa) prevailing from 
June to October, and the dry season form (Sanatana) during March, April and May/’ 
It has also been taken at Shillong, Khasia Hills. In Burma, the dry-season form has 
been obtained in the Karen Hills in February. Dr. N. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 
1890, 517) records it from Bernardmyo in the Shan States. Captain Bingham (Butt. 
Ind. i. 108) also “ obtained it on the Donat range, Upper Tenasserim, in January.”
