and anal angle, and traversed by a submarginal series of elongated spots, and with dark brown 
fringe, as in the primaries ; body fuliginous brown, the collar crossed by an ochreous stripe. 
Wings below altogether yellower than above, pale ochreous, the innermost discal zigzag line 
dull pink, continued through the secondaries, the two outer zigzag lines forming the boundaries 
of a dull pink stripe ; the ocelli and the subapical cuneiform patch of the primaries of a more 
rosy tint: the secondaries mottled with dark brown, and tinted with dull pink towards the 
base; the testaceous discal band limited externally by elongated black spots: body below 
testaceous, tinted with dull pink at the sides; anterior coxze dull rose-coloured. Expanse of 
wings 3 inches. 
?. Much larger than the male; the primaries densely irrorated with brown and black up 
to the pale border, and with larger ocellus; the external margin nearly straight: secondaries 
deeper in colour, the ocellus much more laky in tint, larger; the discal band broader, and 
externally more broadly black bordered. The wings below very little paler than above, densely 
irrorated up to the pale border with dark brown, with scarcely a trace of the innermost zigzag 
line, the two other lines less distinct than above: secondaries very slightly tinted with pink. 
Expanse of wings 3 inches 9 lines.

Whity brown: primaries with the basal third traversed by eight black lines; a central 
irregular black-bordered belt, slightly yellowish internally and olivaceous externally, crossed 
by white streaks, upon which are numerous white-pupilled black spots ; the outer border of 
this belt is deeply and broadly concave in front of the apical area, and between the lower 
radial and first median branch, the angle between these two excavations being bifid; apical 
area pale olivaceous brown, crossed by six more or less dentate-sinuate lines, all, excepting the 
innermost one (which is black, edged with white), snow-white, separated from the remainder 
of the disk, which is traversed by nine irregular pale-edged black lines, by a yellow longitudinal 
streak ; a submarginal series of semicircular shell-like ocelli, the three uppermost of which 
are confluent and almost concealed by a large black patch; outer border whitish internally, 
slightly brownish externally : secondaries with the basal two fifths blackish, streaked with pale 
brown, and limited by asinuous recurved black stripe: disk traversed by nine irregular slender 
black lnes; a submarginal series of confluent shell-like spots, from which black streaks 
project inwards upon the veins: thorax varied with irregular longitudinal black streaks:
