 portion of both wings, the upper, on fore wings, being somewhat incon- 

 spicuous and colored as in the plate. There is an oblique band of yel- 

 lowish buff crossing apex of fore wing, and within the central cell are 

 two black-encircled spots of orange. There is a double sub-marginal 

 band of yellowish buff on both wings, within which on hind wings, and 

 on the lower portion of fore wings is a band of orange. Beneath, on fore 

 ■wings paler, with the markings repeated, but the orange bars in central 

 cell are enlarged, and there is a third bar at the base of the wing and a 

 space below the cell is suffused Avith orange. Apex of wings marbled 

 with rufous, and the small eye spot is sometimes double. Hind wings 

 dark yellowish buff crossed with numerous lines of rufous, which show 

 a tendency in many specimens to mass together near the outer portion 

 of the wing, over the eye spots which are small, sometimes being repre- 

 sented by mere dots, at other times larger, with the upper double and 

 with two intermediate dots. An extremely variable species, regarding 

 size of eye spots and other markings. Expands 1.75 to 2.20. Habitat,
