costa. Posterior wings light brown, with a brighter tawny submarginal band, 

 not extending to any of the margins, and bordered within by a rectangular dark 

 Hne. At its upper and outer extremity is a round blackish spot, indistinctly 

 ocellated, and surrounded by an outer brown ring, nearly obsolete below. 

 Towards the anal angle is a large black eye, with a white pupil, in a broad 

 tawny ring, nearly cut off from the submarginal band by an outer brown 

 ring, obsolete below. Above, it is narrowly interrupted, and there is a short 

 brown dash just beyond this break, but nearer to the hind margin. 



Underside yellowish-grey, with short brown lines at one-third of the length, 

 anterior wings with the tawny part of the disc paler and more suffused ; beyond 

 the cell is a blackish line, slightly zigzag above, and there is a submarginal row 

 of intersected brown and pale yellowish triangles, followed by a dull orange 

 line between two brown ones ; but all these markings are more or less ill-defined 

 and indistinct. Posterior wings with the marginal markings bordered on the 

 inside by a more continuous brown line ; the eyes are both well-marked ; they 

 are black, with white pupils, and with j'ellow rings, surrounded with brown, dull 

 silvery, and partly narrow brown rings again ; the lower eye is surmounted by 

 a prolongation of the silvery ring, containing a smaller yellow spot in a brown 

 ring. The space round the lower eye is yellowish on the inner side, shading 

 into brown on the outer side. The silvery ring of the upper eye is connected 

 with a submarginal silvery line, edged within with a brown line, and followed 

 by a dull orange line, edged on both sides with very narrow black lines ; fringes 

 yellowish-grey. 



Body brown, head mostly white, palpi with black hairs in front. 



Female. Upperside nearly as in the male, but with the tawny markings 

 more extended, and entirely enclosing the lower eye on the posterior wings ; the 

 small dark dash above it is wanting. 



Underside. Anterior wings nearly as in the male ; posterior wings with 

 the eyes placed on a pale yellowish submarginal area ; they are smaller, and 

 more isolated ; the dull silvery rings are broader, and entirely detached, and 

 the small central spot is disconnected from the otliors, and is silvery grey, with 

 a brown pupil and outer ring. 



The fore wings are rather long, narrow, and subtriangular in the male ; in 

 the female they are broader. The type in the Banksian Collection is a male, 

 and differs somewhat on the underside from the specimens here figured. 

 On the anterior wings beneath is a small subapical eye. It is black with a 

 white pupil, and enclosed in a pale yellow and narrow outer brown ring. The
