The hind wings arc darker brown, with a broad Avavcd bar 

 at a little distance from the outer margin, and in it from one 

 to three minute dark s^jecks. 



The female is larger than the male; the general colours are 

 the same, but the fore wings liaA'c a large irregular patch of 

 fulvous brown, around, but chiefly extended beneath, the eye. 

 The general colour of the hind wings is brown, and they have 

 a broad indistinct bar of a paler colour Avith an orange tinge, 

 following the margin, but a little within it. The brown at 

 the edge of the latter is lighter than the remainder of it. 



Underneath, the fore wings are pale fulvous; the eye and 

 eyelet the same as on the upper side, and the large patch 

 shews through from above a little lighter than the surrounding 

 colour, but more distinctly defined by straight edges on its 

 sides. The hind wings are darkish brown at the base with a 

 tinge of bronze. This is succeeded by a paler irregular bar, 

 the same which partially shcAvs through on the upper side, 

 and this again by a broad margin a little darker in colour. 



The caterpillar is green, with white longitudinal lines, and 

 its tail is forked. 



The chrysalis, which is suspended by the tail, is of an angular 

 shape, and has two sharp points on the head. 



The markings of this species are very variable. 



The figures are from specimens in my own collection.
