cross-bars, in males, or bear a dark, light-edged lateral streak in 

 females and rarely in males ; one or two blue ocellar spots may be 

 present above the axil ; limbs often with round light spots. 



The coloration is, in some cases, absolutely the same as that of 

 certain specimens of the var. jiumana, and some females closely 

 resemble striated specimens of the typical form.
