Pale-hrown, ivith black, yelloiu -ringed ocelli, and two 

 common dark-brown streaks parallel to hind-margins, which 

 are also edged with dark-brown. Fore-iving : two ocelli, 

 both bipupillate, near submarginal streaks, one between two 

 discoidal, the other between second and third median, ner- 

 vules. Hind-wing: three ocelli, of which the first (near 

 costa) is small and unipupillate, the second (between second 

 and third medians) largest and bipupillate, the third (near 

 anal angle) minute, its pupil obsolete. Under-side. — 

 Paler ; with two regular, common, transverse reddish-brown 

 streaks, commencing one before, the other beyond, middle 

 on costa of fore-wing, and extending, with a slightly- 

 convergent tendenc}' to inner-margin of hind-wing ; rings 

 of ocelli paler, broader, encircled with reddish - brown ; 

 submarginal lines reddish-brown. Fore-wing: lower ocellus 

 with two small, contiguous, pale-yellow spots adjoining its 

 upper edge. Hind-wing : first ocellus large, bipupillate, 

 with a minute contiguous ocellus on either side, — second 

 ocellus with two contiguous spots precisely like the lower 

 ocellus of fore-wing, — third ocellus unipupillate : ground-
