the base, near which is an oblique, very pale brown striga; followed 
by a very large eye with an oval glassy centre, surrounded by a 
broad dirty luteous brown ring, and this by a narrow black circle : 
this is succeeded by a broad red ring, and this by a white one, the 
adjoining space being rosy buff: between the eye and the apical mar- 
gin is a subundulated blackish striga, edged internally with white. 
The fore-wings beneath want the anterior, angulated, brown striga ; 
the ocellus is coloured as on the upper side, and the hind-wings are 
fulvous yellow, with the ocellus smaller than above, the black ring 
being surrounded by a white one, and this by a narrow rosy one ; the 
white waved subapical striga is also narrowly bordered within with 
rosy.

forty-eight rays on each side, the two apical rays being very short, 
four rays being produced from each joint. 
Body entirely orange-yellow, the outside of the tibiz and tarsi 
blackish.
