Male. Upperside cream-colour, with the base, costal margin, including 

 nearly the whole cell of the anterior wings, and hind margin broadly ashy-brown ; 

 nervures blackish. Towards the base are traces of a buff band, running upwards, 

 but not extending to the subcostal nervure. Just beyond the cell of the anterior 

 wings, the pale part of the wing is intersected by an oblique black stripe ; on 

 the anterior wings it ceases below the submedian nervure, where it is connected 

 by a slight blackish stripe with the dark base of the wing ; on the posterior 

 wings it narrows to the fork of the median nervure, where it ceases ; but rather 

 nearer the base, an ill-defined narrower dark stripe runs between the median and 

 submedian nervure. 



Underside crossed by alternate brown- and cream-coloured stripes ; costa 

 and hind margins marked with a dark line at the base of the fringes, which is 

 bordered within with a buff one. Base dark, with a slight buff stripe, becoming 

 paler and more linear outwards, below the subcostal nervure of the anterior 

 wings ; there are three oblique cream-coloured bands across both wings, ceasing 

 at the subcostal nervure of the anterior wings, where the first is much narrowed ; 

 beyond the third band, is a brown band containing a row of black eyes with 

 bluish-white pupils, and in pale yellowish rings ; on the anterior wings there are 

 eight between the nervures, the two lowest smaller than the others, and placed 

 between the lowest median nervule and the submedian nervure ; on the hind 

 wings are five eyes, the first between the subcostal nervules, the second very 

 large, oval, with two pupils, between the discocellular nervule and the middle 

 median nervule; the third between the middle and lowest median nervules;
