Dull-broivn ; sometimes more or less suffused with fulvous 

 on disc of wings. Fore-zving : near apex, between second 

 discoidal and second median nervules, a large compound black 

 ocellus, outwardly enclosing two conspicuous white pupils, 

 of which the upper is almost always the larger ; fulvous 

 varying from a scarcely-perceptible tinge, bordering upper 

 and inner edges of ocellus, to a conspicuous discal patch, 

 commencing close to costa above ocellus, extending much 

 below ocellus, and shading off into discoidal cell and nearly 

 to base. Hind-wing : near hind-margin, between discoidal 

 and third median nervules, from one to three ocelli (of which 

 that nearest anal angle is the largest, and often perfect when 

 the others are half-obsolete or wanting), properly black, 

 white-centred, and ringed with faint-ochreous, but often only- 

 represented by whitish dots, or all but obsolete ; fulvous 

 very indistinct when present, and only forming an ill-defined 

 tinge on disc. Cilia inconspicuously varied with whitish. 

 Under-side. — Excessively variable: scarcely two specimens 

 alike. — Paler than above (sometimes pale-ochreous), always 

 more or less markedly hatched or irrorated with darker 

 short lines or dots : typical markings, a common dark, 

 transverse streak from costa of fore-wing before middle to 

 inner-margin of hind-wing beyond middle, a similar streak 

 confined to fore-wing from costa beyond middle to near anal 

 angle, and a row of bluish-white-pupillate ocelli, ringed 

 with pale yellow, in both wings near hind-margin ; often a 

 common daVk transverse streak not far from bases. Fore-wing: 

 properly five ocelli, of which the fourth (between first and 

 second median nervules) is the largest, and often pretty well 

 marked when the others are obsolete or wanting. Hind-ivinq: 

 properly six ocelli, of which the first (between subcostal 

 nervules) and the fifth (between second and third median 

 nervules) are the largest, and the sixth bipupillate.
