Imago. —Male. Upperside olivescent ochreous-brown. Forewing with a large 
median ocellus ringed with yellow. Hindiving with a minute imperfect ocellus 
between the middle and lower median veins. Underside paler ochreous-brown, or 
greyish-brown; the basal area darkest, and slightly speckled externally; the trans¬ 
verse discal line more or less defined, and sometimes with a slight pale outer border; 
ocelli indicated by very small blackish spots with white central dot. The glandular 
patch with its overlapping yellow tuft on the upperside of the hindwing, and the 
patch on the underside of the fore wing dark brown. Female. Upperside similar to 
the male. Underside more uniformly paler; brown speckled; the transverse discal 
line more or less diffused; ocelli very small, as in male. 
Expanse, c? If to 2, ¥ 2 to 2| inches. 
Habitat. —Northern and Eastern India ; Burma; Siam ; S.-E. China. 
Historical Note. —Of the identity of Cramer’s P. Drusia with P. Mineus I 
have satisfied myself by actual comparison of South Chinese specimens, identical 
with the figures of Drusia , and with the type specimen of the Linnean Mineus , now 
in the cabinet of the Linnean Society of London. The locality given by both these 
authors for their species is “ China/ 3 and the type specimen of both is that of a 
female. Of the Chinese specimens that have been under our personal examination— 
and the females of which represent the above-named species— all the males possess 
the small Hack glandular patch of scales on the underside of the forewing. The 
Linnean name therefore has been here assigned to the insect bearing the black patch, 
and not to its Indian ally possessing the yellow patch. 
The dry-season brood of C. Mineus differs in both sexes from those of the dry- 
season form of G . visala in their comparatively smaller size, more rounded apex of 
the forewing, and more even exterior margin of the hindwing; the median ocellus on 
the upperside of the forewing is also of larger size, and on the underside of both 
wings the transverse subbasal and discal line are both generally much less defined. 
In addition to these differences, is the position, size, and colour of the glandular 
patch on underside of the forewing. This patch, present in the males of both the wet 
and dry-season brood, is, in Mineus , small and blackish, and situated on the middle 
of the submedian vein, whereas in Visala it is large, much longer, extending from 
middle of the vein to the discal band, and is of a yellow colour. 
Of the illustrations of this species on our Plate No. 60, figs. 1, la, represent a 
icet-season male from the Naga Hills, fig. 1, c, that of a female from the N.-W. 
Himalayas, and fig. d, a female from Banchi; figs. 1, e, f, represent dry-season males, 
the latter figure being from the Kangra type named subfasciata. 
Distribution. —So far as the personal verification of specimens from the 
localities subsequently referred to have shown, this species is confined, within our 
area, to North India and Burma. Commencing at the north-west, we find that it
