"Wings above pale brown. Anterior Avings with a large 

 SYibovate paler fascia, placed transversely on apical half, and on 

 which is a large black ocellated spot, w'ith a yellow margin 

 and with two small bluish talc-like eyes ; this spot is placed 

 a little beyond end of cell, its upper margin extending a little 

 above first discoidal nervule, and its lower margin reaching 

 the second median nervule. Posterior wings with a broad 

 pale submarginal fascia, on which are three ocellated black 

 spots, with yellow margins and bluish talc-like eyes, the first 

 and smallest of which is placed between second subcostal and 

 discoidal nervules, and the other two, which are largest and 

 placed close together, are situated nearer to the posterior
