In the typical form, as descrilied by Smith, t he markings of the young 

 are the same as in E. namaquensis, and they persist in the adult with 

 the only difference that the black is less intense and the white turns to 

 pale brown or "reddish yellow inclined to orange." In the colour- 

 variety named inoniatahy IJoux, the upper parts are grey or pale buff 

 above, uniform or with small white, dark-edged ocellar spots on the 

 sides and hind limbs. Specimens intermediate between the two 

 e.vtremes occur (females from Groendooru-Wasserfall and Nauohas) : 

 grey or reddish brown above, with 5 longitudinal series of small black 

 spots on the back and ocellar spots on the sides.
