Didl-brown ; sometimes more or less suffused with fulvous ; hind- 
margins in most specimens with an ill-defined paler-brown or dull- 
greyish narrow border, thinly hatched with short dark lines, and tinged 
with a faint violaceous gloss. Fore-wing : near apex, between second 
discoidal and second median nervules, a large compound black ocellus, 
outwardly enclosing two conspicuous white pupils, of which the upper 
is almost always the larger ; fulvous varying from a scarcely-perceptible 
tinge, bordering upper and inner edges of ocellus, to a conspicuous 
discal patch, commencing close to costa above ocellus, extending much 
below ocellus, and shading off into discoidal cell, and nearly to base. 
Hind-wing : near hind-margin, between discoidal and first median 
nervules, from one to three ocelli (of which that nearest anal angle is 
the largest, and often perfect when the others are half-obsolete or 
wanting), properly black, white centred, and ringed with faint ochreous, 
but often only represented by whitish dots, or all but obsolete ; fulvous 
very indistinct when present, and only forming an ill-defined tinge 
on disc. Cilia inconspicuously varied with whitish. Under side. — 
Excessively variahle ; scarcely two sjjeeimens alike. Paler than above 
(sometimes pale ochreous), always more or less markedly hatched or 
irrorated with darker short lines or dots ; typical markings, a common 
dark, transverse streak from costa of fore-wing before middle to inner 
margin of hind-wing beyond middle, a similar streak confined to fore- 
wing from costa beyond middle to near posterior angle, and a row of 
bluish-white pupillate ocelli, ringed with pale yellow, in both wings 
near hind-margin ; often a common dark transverse streak not far 
from bases. Fore-iving : properly five ocelli, of which the fourth (be- 
tween third and second median nervules) is the largest, and often 
pretty well marked when the others are obsolete or wanting. Hind- 
wing: properly six ocelli, of which the first (between subcostal nervules) 
and the fifth (between second and first median nervules) are the largest, 
and the sixth bipupillate.
