Male. Uppeeside rufous-brown. Anterior wings with two ocelli as in 

 3/. Fhidoii, Hewitson, but the ocellus between the two lowest median nervules is 

 larger and rounder than in that species, and its iris is fulvous, becoming brighter 

 fulvous externally. Posterior wings with four discal ocelli, each with a bright 

 orange-fulvous iris, the space beyond the ocelli to the outer margin being also 

 bright orange-fulvous traversed by two submarginal sinuate dark lines. 



Underside as in 31. Phidon, but on the anterior wings the lower ocellus is 

 larger and the transverse tawny band across the disk is more curved outwardly 

 at its upper end, and is straighter at its lower end towards the inner margin ; 

 the space between the transverse bands and the outer margin on both wings is 

 more yellowish than the basal portion of the wings. The row of six discal spots 

 on the posterior wings closely resembles that on 31. Phidon, but the pupils on 

 the third and fourth spots are more strongly marked with black.
