longitudinal streak between the veins and similar streaks within the cell; cilia 
alternately edged with white. Bindwing blue-black, with a broad longitudinal greyish- 
white scaled streak below the costal vein ; outer discal area more or less irrorated 
with scattered minute blue scales ; an ocellated crimson spot with black centre at the 
anal angle, the crimson being outwardly edged with bluish-grey scales; cilia 
alternately edged with white. Underside. Forewing greyish-fuliginous, the black 
streaks prominent. Bindwing black; with a large, duller crimson violet-scaled 
ocellated anal patch which extends irregularly inward to or near the middle median, 
and is posteriorly coalescent with a large lower anal ocellus with black centre ; 
beyond, are either two upper marginal dull crimson incomplete ocelli speckled with 
bluish-white scales, or a series of five lunules, the three lower being placed more 
submarginally inward and decreasing in size posteriorly ; a few minute blue scales are 
scattered inwardly contiguous to the latter lunules. 
Female. Upperside. Both wings paler. Bindwing with the upper discal area 
or the entire wing to the base irrorated with minute bluish-grey scales; a large 
anal dull crimson violet-speckled irregular-shaped ocellated patch, and lower anal 
ocellus, very similar to that on the underside of the male ; a small crimson sub- 
marginal lunule is also sometimes present between the lower and middle median 
veinlet. Underside paler. Bindnmm with similar markings to the male; the anal 
irregular patch and lower anal ocellus being larger and coalescent, the former some¬ 
times extending outward to near the upper median, and is also occasionally followed 
by a slender lunule beyond the upper median veinlet. Bead, palpi, thorax, and 
abdomen, legs and antenna? black; collar and vertex with a few white-tipt 
scales.

Distribution and Habits. — “ This is by no means an uncommon species in the 
warm glens of the Masuri Hills, N.W. Himalaya, and it is common in the Dhun. 
Its flight is somewhat heavy and unsteady ” (Oapt. T. Hutton, Tr. Ent. Soc. 1847, 
49). <£ A considerable number seen together, in the Masuri Hills, floating and flapping 
their wings lazily, and then settling on the blossoms in waste marshy ground over¬ 
grown with Composite (thistles). I have also seen a number congregated with Pago.
