 outer area fuliginous-black ; an ochreous-white oblique snbapical short angulated 

 band and two transverse siibrnarginal lunular fascijB, the inner fascia broadest, 

 shortest, and bearing an upper and a lower small black red-ringed ocellus, with a 

 blue-speckled central dot, below which the posterior area is dark blue ; crossing

 blue suffused with purple ; a basal short narrow black angular patch which curves 

 upward across end of the cell, and merges into brown on the abdominal margin ;

 others the upper one is the largest, and is either entirely black and blind, or

 lines ; cilia mostly white. Underside pale dull greyish-ochreous. Foreicing with 

 three basal transverse reddish-ochreous bands sinuously edged with black, a discal 

 sinuous fascia inwardly edging the subapical band, followed by the pale less-defined 

 outer marginal lunular fascias and the two blind ocelli, as on upperside. Hindwing 

 crossed by narrow more or less faintly-defined brown sinuous basal and marginal 

 lines, and a diffused brownish discal fascia bearing a series of small very palely-
