3S. Scarcely distinguishable on the upper side from asterope, 
Klug. Under side pale grey, closely and finely striolate after the 
manner of that species. Fore wing with one large bipupilled 
ocellus ; ocellar space bounded, except on the costa, by a brown 
line. Hind wing with two well-developed ocelli, one, a little the 
larger, in the first subcostal interspace, and one in the first median 
interspace; in some examples there is also a minute unipupillate 
ocellus near the anal angle. Sex-mark wanting. Clasp narrow 
and elongate, gradually widened to the subtruncate apex, which 
bears a serrulate accessory plate. 
The type isin the British Museum, but this description 
is taken from Abyssinian specimens.

This species bears considerable resemblance to indecora 
on the under side, but the space between the two discal 
bands on the hind wing has occasionally a decided buff 
tint ; it is, however, a smaller insect, and the form of 
the clasp is, so far as we know, unique in the genus.

The great breadth of the cedeagus of this species in 
proportion to its length will always distinguish the male 
from that of Marshalli. The colour and pattern of the 
under side, moreover, is characteristic, although the 
species has certainly the facies of a depauperate Mar-
