Four of them are so arranged that they extend over both wings, 

 while the others are quite short. 



Near the tip of the lower wings is a large patch of bright 

 yellow, and beyond this patch is a group of five eye-like spots, 

 the chief portion of which is black, the centre being sprinkled 

 with some tiny azure specks. The long tail of the lower wings 

 is yellow, with a black line running through its centre. In the 

 middle of both pairs of wings the pale yellow is partly translucent.
