Upper wings ocbre-red, or reddish-yellow, with 
the base brown, and the anterior and outer sides 
widely margined with dark brown. On the outer 
anterior angle of the reddish-yellow portion of the 
wing there is a pretty large round ocellated spot of 
black, with two minute white points in the centre. 
The hinder wings are likewise brown, with a large 
reddish-yellow mark in the centre, which bears a 
minute ocellus on the side nearest the anal angle. 
On the under side, the upper wings are coloured as 
above, but the hinder pair are greyish-brown, with 
a very irregular cross band of light grey behind the 
middle, in which there are usually four minute white 
points approximating in pairs, and surrounded by a 
brown cloud. The male is considerably smaller 
than the female, more deeply coloured, and has a 
brown cloud in the middle of the coloured portion 
of the fore wings.
