The centre of these wings is ornamented with a small oval ocellus, 
the basal half of which is covered with black scales, and the outer 
half is vitreous: between this and the base is a very curved and irre- 
gularly dentate dark striga, and immediately behind the eye is a nearly 
straight, slender, brown bar. This is succeeded by slender black 
wavy bars, the space between which and the apex of this wing is di- 
vided as it were into three compartments, the first of which is covered 
with small brown scales; the second is paler, and covered with very 
fine black speckles, and the apical part is much darker, with large 
black speckles ; the apical margin of the fore-wings is slightly waved. 
The hind-wings are entirely covered on the upper side by a most 
magnificent eye-like spot, surrounded by successive rings of various 
colours. The oval pupil is black, but the part furthest removed from 
the body is denuded of scales, fae would be vitreous were not the 
underside of the wings clothed with scales: this is surrounded by a 
narrow fulvous iris; then black; then a broader oval ring of dirty 
clay colour; then a narrow oval of pale flesh-colour; then a broad, 
rich, claret, oval ring: between this and the base of the wing is first 
a bar of flesh-colour, then black, shaded into claret ; towards the ex- 
tremity of the wing the claret is succeeded by a half-ring of flesh- 
colour; then a narrow one of black; then of paie buff stone-colour, 
and another moderately broad of grey speckled with black, extending 
to the extremity of the wings. The thorax is dark and rich brown 
coloured, with two white bands across the neck and two across the 
extremity of the thorax whitish; the abdomen is buff, with black 
dots. The margin of the wings is scalloped. 
Beneath, all the wings are very pale buflish white with dark speckles; 
the fore-wings are marked nearly as on the upper side, but the hind- 
wings have only a very small eye in the centre, having a black pupil 
with a fulvous orbit surrounded by a slender black circle ; immediately 
connected with the posterior part of this eye is a curved row of brown 
arches, between which and the apex of the wings is another and more 
slightly marked series of black scallops. The palpi are distinct, 
forming a small brown muzzle, but they are not visible from above ; 
they, as well as the rest of the head, are brown. The spiral tongue 
appears to be wanting. The antenne of the male are considerably 
elongated, with the rays bent backwards instead of lymg flat, and 
there are eighty-eight rays on each side of the antenne, the rays ex- 
tending to the tip, so that the antennze are composed of about forty - 
four or forty-six jomts. The antennee of the female are setaceous, 
and only slightly bipectinated, being gradually more slender from 
about one-third of the distance from the base to the apex, each joint 
emitting four rays, the joint at each point of emission being swollen. 
The female has the wings rather shorter, and not at all emarginate 
along the apical margin.
