Male. "Wiugs above lilaciuous. Anterior -wings with two waved black lines crossing centre of cell, 

 and two similar ones at end of cell ; a very waved and sinuated fuscous line crossing wings a little beyond 

 cell, and between this and outer margin are two waved fuscous lines (tlio inner one somewhat faint), 

 between which the colour is distinctly paler, and is marked with a series of six oeellated spots placed between 

 the uervules, of which the first is situate above the upper discoidal nervule, and the first, second and fifth 

 are largest and most brightly coloured ; the first is also preceded by an irregular whitish spot placed at the 

 bifurcation of the fourth and lifth subcostal uervules ; fuscous marginal and submarginal lines. ' Posterior 

 wings with two waved fuscous lines crossing end of cell, and remaining markings similar and continuous to 

 those on anterior wings, but with five distinct oeellated spots only (a sixth sometimes obsoletely present 

 between third median nervule and submedian nervure), and of which the first, second, and fifth are largest 

 and most lirightly coloured. Wiugs beneath very pale ; cell crossed by the fuscous lines as above, but 

 fainter, and the two central ones continued on lower wings and terminating near median nervure ; a distinct 

 fuscous line crossing both wings, commencing near costa a little beyond end of cell, where it is angularly 

 waved to first median nervule and then obliquely and more straightly continued across both wings to near 

 anal angle of posterior wings ; oeellated spots of upper surface more or less distinctly visible, their outer 

 marginal line present, but the marginal and submarginal lines (in the specimen figured and described) 

 absent ; posterior wings with the two fuscous lines crossing end of cell as above, and with a small tuscous 

 spot near anal angle. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Larger in size and generally darker in colour than the male, the oeellated spots above 

 larger and more distinct, with the area on which they are placed much paler, the fuscous lines deeper in 

 hue ; beneath the wings are also slightly darker than in the male, and the oeellated spots and markings 

 much more distinct, and with the marginal and submarginal lines often distinguishable. 



Exp. wings, 3" (one sjiec), 48 millim. ; $ 59 to 05 millim.
