The specimens of this form are very variable ; above, the 3S vary from one 

 with nearly the whole upperside rufous orange aiid the ocelli on both wings 

 obsolescent, to almost entirely fuscous brown, and the rufous orange on both 

 wings reduced to a narrow band while the ocelli are very pronounced, some 

 also have the rufous orange as if smoked and almost as brown as the ground 

 colour, and others have the rufous orange replaced by deep rufous ; below, there 

 is every gradation from a sharply defined narrow white band to the uniform 

 brown liLndwings of ab. tessalensis Aust. ; ?¥ show less variation above, but 

 the same variation below.
