these specimens the glandular patch is also blackish. Binclwing with seven ocelli, 
more prominent and somewhat larger than in 0 . Blasius , encompassed within a 
narrow violescent-grey outer line, the second, third, and seventh ocellus minute. 
Female. Upperside with the pale transverse broad discal band of the underside 
distinctly visible on both wings. Forewing with a large median ocellus surrounded 
by a slightly paler area. Underside. Both w r ings with very prominent broad 
violescent-white discal band; marginal lines ochreous. Foreiving with two ocelli, 
and hindwing with seven prominent ocelli, as in male. In some Ceylonese specimens 
of this sex, of the wet-season brood, there are two small subapical ocelli on the fore¬ 
wing, and in others all the ocelli are smaller and those on the forewing with two 
minute intervening ocelli; this latter specimen (Plate 61, fig. g.) fairly agreeing 
with Cramer’s figure of Pohgdecta , and which evidently represents an early dry-season 
specimen, but overcoloured by his artist.

Imago. —Male. Upperside ochreous-brown ; exterior margins and cilia cinere¬ 
ous-brown. Foreiving with the transverse discal line distinct but diffused; the 
median ocellus large, white pupilled and ringed with yellow, its bordering area also 
generally yellowish and forming a more or less defined quadrate patch : sometimes 
there is also a minute subapical ocellus present. Bindiving sometimes with a minute 
median ocellule or white dot ; a subbasal radiating tuft of yellow hairs overlapping 
a small glandular patch of blackish scales . Underside either dark ochreous-brown 
or shades of dark greyish-brown, thickly speckled with darker brown; the basal 
area darkest; the subbasal transverse line sometimes slightly pale bordered; the 
transverse discal line generally well-defined and pale bordered, and in some there are 
indications of pale external vein points, also in some specimens a paler or brighter 
ochreous tint suffuses the middle of the outer border of the discal line on each wing. 
Forewing with four, and hindwing with seven small ocelli, or minute blackish spots 
with white pupils—when the three or four lower spots on the hindwing are generally 
the most distinct; beyond these the marginal lines are ill-defined, or sometimes a 
submarginal series of delicate denticules are present.
