Very dark hroivn, loith a purplish gloss : fore-ioing widely 

 coloured with deep-fulvous. Fore-wing : fulvous in $ much 

 obscured, ferrui^inous, or almost merged in ground-colour, 

 nearly filling discoidal cell, covering basal halves of median 

 nervules, and extending to the inner edge of a large white- 

 bipupillate, ill-defined black ocellus, near apex,— in ? 

 broader, palei, and crossed by a faint disco-eel ular streak ot 

 brown, and a long, more conspicuous streak from costa 

 beyond middle,— in neither sex extending above subcostal or 

 below submedian nervure. Hind-wing: a row, beyond 

 middle, of S-o white-pupilled black ocelli in deep-fulvous 

 rings, between second subcostal nervule and median nervure. 

 Under-side.— Pa.Vr; costa and apex of fore-wing, and hmd- 

 winq wholly, often coloured loith greyish-ochreous ,• fulvous ot 

 fore-wing not reaching ocellus, but scarcely reaching beyond 

 outer transverse streak, which, with that m cell, is usually 

 clearly marked in both sexes. Hind-iving : two crenelatea 

 dark-brown transverse lines, one before, the other about 

 middle; ocelli very faintly represented by pale dots and 

 incomplete pale rings, seven in number; beyond them, a 

 lunular dark line. In both wings a dark line along, and 

 close to, hind-margin. 



In some i specimens, the ocellus of fore-wi^ng is tripupiUate the 

 lowest pupil indicating the existence of a second ocellus; and a ? in 

 my collection has, in%ddition to the large three pnp.lled ocellus two 

 well-marked smaller ocelli between first and third median nervules. the
