It is tie largest of tie Vanessae, measuring nearly 
five incles across tie upper wings. Tie sur- 
face is dull brown, witl a broad common trans- 
verse band of greenish white, placed between tie 
middle and tie external margin of the wings. On 
tie upper wings this band is composed of a double 
series of spots, tie interior ones small and crescent - 
shaped, tie exterior large and oval witl a large 
black mark in the centre : on tie under wings it is 
more continuous, witl a row of white lunules exter- 
nally, and two large ocelli, remote from each other, 
having a blue pupil and a yellow iris. The under 
side is much paler than the upper, and the band on 
the anterior wings is nearly as entire as in the pos- 
terior pair. 
This conspicuous species is a native of the island 
of Amboina.
