d- Upper-side olivaceous-brown ; the basal two-thirds rather 
darker and with a sinuous edging on the fore-wing. A clearly- 
defined submarginal dark line followed by a much more slender 
marginal line ; ciliarbrown. Fore-wing with a large black subapical 
ocellus containing two clear white pupils placed one above the other 
and surrounded by a broad pale yellow iris. Hind-wing with two 
smaller black ocelli, each containing one white pupil and surrounded 
by a clear pale yellow iris placed between the lower median nervules 
close to the submarginal line. In a line with these and between the 
lower median nervule and the submedian nervure is a minute 
yellowish spot containing a central black dot. 
The under-side differs only from the upper by the hind-wing 
having a sinuous dark median line from the costa to the abdominal 
margin, by the addition of a yellowish-ringed ocellus near the costa 
and also two small confluent yellow-ringed ocelli near the anal angle. 
Head, thorax, abdomen, legs and palpi, dark brown.

This species is distinguished from its allies by the 
position of the dark bands and by the pale yellow rings 
to the ocelli, those previously described having tawny or 
red rings. It is allied to WV. gregorw, Butler,* NV. victoria, 
Auriv.,f and NV. heckmanni, 'Thurau.t
