 with four or five white dashes. The outer third of wing is fuscous, mottled 

 with lighter scales; it encloses a large ocellic spot of three horizontal black 

 lines, and vertical inner and outer bars of metallic blue ; a few metallic 

 dots of the same colour nearly join the lower ends of the bars ; between
