$ Dull hroiun, with a hronzy surface-gloss ; fore-wing luitli a pale- 
creamy macular transverse stripe beyond middle. Fore-wing : stripe 
occupying same position as in Z. Clytus, but more distinctly inten^upted 
on third median nervule, and more curved inward inferiorly ; the three 
lower spots of the stripe quite disconnected, and, though blunter inte- 
riorly, exteriorly quite sharply acuminate — the reverse of what occurs 
in Clyttis ; compound ocellus near apex bipupillate (rarely tripupillate) 
with white (not blue, as in Clytus), and bordered externally by a narrow 
quadri-macular dull-creamy stripe ; a little before middle, a transverse 
fuscous streak, crossing cell, and interrupted on median nervure. Hind- 
wing : beyond middle, an interrupted, often very indistinct, fuscous 
streak, externally edged narrowly with dull ochreous-yellow ; a sub- 
marginal row of four moderate-sized white-pupilled ocelli (often a 
minute indistinct fifth ocellus near anal angle) in pale dull ochreous- 
yellow rings. Under side. — Paler and duller ; neuration of hind- 
wing clouded with luhite. Fore-iving : base suffused with deep-fulvous 
as far as fuscous transverse streak ; apical margin narrowly clouded 
with white, fading into pale-brown along hind-margin. Hind-wing : 
near base, two fuscous whitish-edged spots in discoidal cell, and a 
short longitudinal fuscous whitish-edged streak between median and 
submedian nervures ; a fuscous streak marking extremity of cell ; 
before middle, across wing, a highly irregular dentated fuscous streak, 
exteriorly clouded with white ; bej'-ond middle, a similar but stronger, 
less dentated streak, exteriorly much more widely white-clouded, and 
sharply interrupted on first and on third median nervules ; six ocelli, much 
smaller than those on upper side, and with scarcely any trace of yellowish 
rings ; a rather narrow submarginal shining-white stripe, thinly edged 
on both sides with fuscous, running from costa just before apex to 
anal angle ; costa itself with a linear white edging. 
$ Pale-ereamy stripe heyond middle of fore-iuing of a yellower tint
