Brown, with a glistening greenish and reddish surface-light; 

 fore-wing with creamy -yellow, macular, transverse stripes. 

 Fore-wing: on costa beyond middle commences an outwardly- 

 convex, interiorly much-dentated creamy-yellow band, very 

 variable in depth of hue, width, and continuity, properly 

 reaching to submedian nervure, but often shorter and much 

 interrupted by ground-colour ; this band is usually joined 

 about first median nervule by a much narrower stripe of the 

 same colour from fourth subcostal nervule near apex, out- 

 wardly bordering a large ocellus, which is narrowly edged 

 with darker yellow inwardly ; ocellus more distinctly com- 

 pound than in other South African Satyridae. elongate, 

 black, with two (rarely three) large blue pupils. Hind-wing; 

 near and parallel to hind-margin a row of five black, fulvous - 

 ringed ocelli, unipupillate with blue, of which the fifth is 

 much the smallest and occasionally nearly obsolete. UNDER- 

 SIDE. Paler : hind-wing much paler, with dark ziczac 

 strite. Fore-wing: apex greyish-white ; yellow stripes much 

 narrowed, the larger seldom reaching below first median 

 nervule, its inner edge thence being indicated by a dentate 

 dark-brown streak, the outer forming with the inner edging 

 only a ring about ocellus ; in discoidal cell, about its centre, 

 two dark transverse streaks, the inner of which is macular 

 and nearly always continued to submedian. Hind-wing: 

 transverse striae three, the macular one near base, and the 

 ziczac one crossing cell, both edged outwardly with whitish 

 scales, the ziczac one about middle similarly edged inwardly; 

 a dark line closing cell ; ocelli in row seven, brown, with 

 white-pupilled black centres, and narrowly ringed with yellow 

 and brown, two first on costa out of line with the rest, 

 the last larger than above, often bipupillate, all of them 

 bounded by confluent rings of whitish scales. Both above 

 and below, a paler border on hind-margin of both wings, 

 divided longitudinally by a dark line, straight on upper-side, 

 waved near apices on under-side.
