S. prieuri Pier. (42 d, e). This butterfly resembles the preceding species above [ heydenreichi ], but the transverse patch of white streaks which extends across the forewing above the apical ocellus does not reach the costa; the oval blotch in the cell of the forewing is so strongly shaded with brown that it contrasts but slightly with the ground-colour, and the white discal band is somewhat more distinct than in heydenreichi , though it has no smear-like projection towards the base. The underside of the hindwing, particularly in the female, is more extensively, though less distinctly, spotted with greyish brown, so that it approaches to a certain extent that of semele , the angulated spots not appearing so conspicuous as in briseis and heydenreichi.
