Edges of the wings rounded, or only sulmngulated. Disk of both pair of wings orange red, 

 brown at Imis4*, and darker at the niH>\ ; ilisk broken by blnrk irregular transverse 

 \>nrs eounerted by delirnte lines : ajiieal {wirt marked nitli four siUery while si>ot8 ; 

 the two sm;ille-<t are ouLside of the larger, and the costal one is divided by the black 

 nervuro into two |>nrts. There is also a large sulKjuadrangular s]>ot resting on the 

 rtista : outer margin triniined with parallel scollo]is of white, brown and orange. On 

 the posterior wing the ornaments consist of two black circles with blue centres, be- 

 tween which are two black s]m>Ls. The margin does not differ much from that of the 

 pirewing. except that the scollops take the form of lunate s]kiIs : upon the anal angle, 

 thes«- sjM.ls have blue discs. Bi.m.atii, there is much greater o mplexity as well as 

 lK*«uty of coloring. The princijial and charnrteristlc ornaments are the eyes on the 

 apical angle of the forewings, and two large eyes surntundid with black npt>n the 

 hind wings : the ilisk is a patch of white comiMi.«ed of mealy (collopjed lines. The 

 margin below resembles that aUive. 

 The caterpillar is said by Dki av to Im.- grix-n, with bluck rings around the U>ily, and 



feeds on baltam or ladysjtvtlt.
