Expands from 1'90 to 2-25 in. Marginal fringes black and 
white. Wings white, with a yellowish tinge in the male ; bases 
dusky ; nervures black. Fore wings with a central black spot, 
from the lower part of which a thick black streak descends to the 
anal angle, when it merges into the black hind-marginal border, 
which contains a row of large white spots ; between the central 
black spot and the base is a wavy black line occupying the centre 
of the discoidal cell. Hind wings almost as in Galatea, but there 
is no hind-marginal black border, its place being taken by a series 
of black lines arranged in triangles. The ocellated spots are very 
distinct, especially in the female ; there are five of these, two being 
placed near the costal edge, and three near the anal angle ; they 
are white, with black rings enclosing white pupils, and without any 
tinge of blue. The basal patches enclose a large white blotch 
similar to those of Galatea. Under side : Fore wings with markings 
corresponding to those above, but lighter and more slender, the 
hind-marginal band being reduced to a wavy black line. Hind 
wings with a yellow central band bordered with dark brown ; 
hind margin slightly yellow, with a zigzag black line, internal 
to which are spots corresponding to those above, but yellowish, 
bordered with dark brown, and with white pupils in dark rings.
