Dull-brotvn ; sometimes more or less suffused with fulvous ; hind- 

 margins in most specimens with an ill-defined paler-brown or dull- 

 greyish narrow border, thinly hatched with short dark lines, and tinged 

 with a faint violaceous gloss. Fore-iving : near apex, between second 

 discoidal and second median nervules, a large compound black ocellus, 

 outwardly enclosing two conspicuous white pupils, of which the upper 

 is almost always the larger ; fulvous varying from a scarcely-perceptible 

 tinge, bordering upper and inner edges of ocellus, to a conspicuous 

 discal patch, commencing close to costa above ocellus, extending much 

 below ocellus, and shading off into discoidal cell, and nearly to base. 

 Hind-iving : near hind-margin, between discoidal and first median 

 nervules, from one to three ocelli (of which that nearest anal angle is 

 the largest, and often perfect when the others are half-obsolete or 

 wanting), properly black, white centred, and ringed with faint ochreous, 

 but often only represented by whitish dots, or all but obsolete ; fulvous 

 very indistinct when present, and only forming an ill-defined tinge 

 on disc. Cilia inconspicuously varied with whitish. Under side. — 

 Excessively variable; scarcely two specimens alike. Paler than above 

 (sometimes pale ochreous), always more or less markedly hatched or 

 irrorated with darker short lines or dots ; typical markings, a common 

 dark, transverse streak from costa of fore-wing before middle to inner 

 margin of hind-wing beyond middle, a similar streak confined to fore- 

 wing from costa beyond middle to near posterior angle, and a row of 

 bluish-white pupillate ocelli, ringed with pale yellow, in both wings 

 near hind-margin ; often a common dark transverse streak not far 

 from bases. Fore-iuing : properly five ocelli, of which the fourth (be- 

 tween third and second median nervules) is the largest, and often 

 pretty well marked when the others are obsolete or wanting. Hind- 

 wing: properly six ocelli, of which the first (between subcostal nervules) 

 and the fifth (between second and first median nervules) are the largest, 

 and the sixth bipupillate.
