The fore-wings are of a dark reddish fulvous colour, tinged with 
red-brown between the middle and the apex. Near the base is a very 
irregular, rather indistinct, ashy-purplish striga, and in the middle of 
the wing is an oval moderate-sized ocellus, the basal half being brown, 
and the apical half vitreous, the latter surrounded by a slender brown 
line ; halfway between this ocellus and the apical margin of the wing 
is a straight, slender, brown line, ramnimg from near the apex of the 
wing towards the middle of the inner margin. The hind-wings are 
of a much redder hue, especially on the anterior portion, with a slight 
appearance of the sub-basal ashy striga of the fore-wings near the 
base; the middle of the wing occupied by a large ocellus, with a 
vitreous centre, having a rather broad greyish-black iris surrounded 
by a white ring, the outer extremity of which rests on a slender dusky 
striga running from near the outer angle of the wing towards the 
middle of the anal margin. The body is rich brownish fulvous, with 
an ashy-brown collar and legs. The antennz black and very slightly: 
pectinated in the female, consisting of about thirty-five joints, the 
first twenty-five emitting a pair of short slender branches from the 
base, the tip of the joints being also slightly serrated ; the ten terminal 
joints are shorter, each emitting a single branck set on in front of each 
joint, the branches of the preceding joints being set on the upper and 
lower edges. 
The wings beneath are paler buff-brown, with a broad, subapical, 
dusky bar, undulated externally ; the eye of the fore-wings less di- 
stinct, and that of the hind-wings replaced by two brown spots and a 
vitreous patch. Near the base of the wings is also a round brown dot.
