liiAGO. — Male. Upperside reddish-ochreous ; cilia black, alternated with white. 

 Foreicing with a dark ochreous-brown, almost black, outer marginal band, which is 

 broadest anteriorly and of slightly variable width, its inner edge being curved to the 

 costa. Hindwing with a similar coloured outer marginal band, which is broadest 

 anteriorly, narrowing to above the radial veinlet and traversed outwardly by two 

 indistinct paler lunular lines, from whence it is continued to the anal angle as two, 

 more or less slender, or partly conjoined lunular black lines, the outer line being 

 generally the broadest, the anal end dilated and angled upward and speckled with 

 violet scales ; within the lower submarginal area is a parallel series of four round 

 black-speckled, or entirely black, spots, the upper one being between the radial and 

 subcostal and sometimes encompassed by the marginal band. Underside clear 

 sepia-brown, or dark sepia-brown, crossed by a subbasal and an ante-medial darker 

 brown or purpurescent-brown broad sinuous fascia, each edged on both thev. oiues 

 by a very slender violet-blue,line, followed by two medial-discal slender dark brown 

 sinuous fasciae inwardly-edged by a slender violet-blue line ; an outer-discal broad 

 dark brown lunular fascia which is more or less slightly, or sometimes obsolescently, 

 inwardly-bordered by reddish-ochreous lunules on both wings and less so outwardly 

 on the forewing, but also more prominently outwardly on the hindwing, where, in 

 the latter wing, the red lunules are sometimes broader and at anal angle dilated, the 

 lower second and third lunules being sometimes absent ; beyond them is a sub- 

 marginal contiguous row of large rounded ocelli, each with a violet-blue and black 

 central dot and black-and-violet edged outer ring ; on the forewing there are six of 

 these ocelli, the lowest being bipupilled and inwardly -bordered by a broad violet-
