reaching from the inner angle to the lower diseoidal nervule; the area
enclosed by the coalescing of the hastate markings forms a series of
six rounded spots regularly increasing in size, the anterior spot the
smallest, the posterior one the largest, these spots are of a slightly
darker shade than the pale fulvous apical area, but not so dark as the
dark, rich reddish-fulvous of the rest of the wing. Hindu;in with the
abdominal and outer margins rather paler than the rest of the wing; a
submarginal series of seVen black markings, of which the anterior one is
a small lunule with its concave edge directed towards the base of the
wing, the next five markings are hastate—shaped,* increasing in size from
the anterior one to the posterior one in the first median interspace, the
seventh posterior marking somewhat quadrate in form, and occupying the
whole width of the submedian interspace; a fine black anteciliary thread.
UNDERSIDE, both wings of a reddish-fulvous of not quite so rich a shade
as on the upperside. Forewng with a small irregular black marking
towards the base of the cell; a highly irregular and ziz-zag black line
crosSes the middle of the cell and extends both to the costa and to the
submedian nervure, the posterior portion of the line is broken and
shifted outwardly below the median nervure ; the upper, middle, and
anterior half of the lower disco-cellular nervule defined by a black line;
an irregular discal black line from the costa to the snbmedian nervure,
just touching the lower end of the cell; beyond the line is a series of five
somewhat cordate, reddish ocelli, each ocellus centred with a whitish
lunule and bounded by a fine whitish and then a fine black line, the
four anterior 00elli equal-sized, the fifth posterior one in the first median
interspace a little larger; beyond these ocelli is another irregular black
line from the costs to the inner margin, this line is narrower and paler
than the discal one; the spaCe between these two lines is anteriorly some-
what paler than the rest of the wing; a submarginal nebulous straight
blackish band; a very fine anteciliary black line. Hindwz'ng with an
irregular sub-basal and a discal black line, the latter posteriorly curving
round and almost meeting the posterior end of the former, both termina-
ting above the anal angle on the submedian nervure; a series of five
ocelli on the disc similar to those in the forewing, the posterior one the
largest and rather misshapen, the anterior one the next largest, the threc
in the middle nearly equal sized; the outer discal fulvous line and
’3‘ The late Professor J. 0. Westwood well described these peculiar and characteristic markings of the genus Stichophthulmu as being built up of a much curved lunule on the margin coalescing inwardly with a spear-shaped spot. To me these markings havea curious likeness to the black silhouette of the head and shoulders of a human figure, especially the third marking from the anal angle of the hindwing in the specimen here figured.
