Imago. —-Male. Upperside olivescent ochreous-brown, somewhat senescent and 
glossy in certain lights ; cilia oclireous-white. Forewing with an indistinctly per¬ 
ceptible transverse short broad lower-discal dusky-cinereous glandular fascia, which 
is clothed with extremely delicate long narrow ribbed-scales with bidentate or 
tridentate tips, and several interspersed long slender androconia with truncated- 
bulbous base and fine hair-like tasselled-tip, and also with a few long fine hairs; 
beyond which are three very indistinct dusky-brown superposed subapical spots, 
and a similar indistinct dusky-brown broad marginal border; on the costa before 
the apex are two small ochreous-wliite intersected spots. Hindwing with an ill- 
defined discal-series of five dusky-brown pale-bordered rounded spots, and a broad 
dusky-brown marginal border. Underside paler. Forewing with four dark-brown 
bars with intervening ochreous-white bars crossing the cell from the costa; a dark- 
brown transverse-discal sinuous-bordered wavy band, a series of five brown ocelli 
(the upper one being obsolescent) each with a minute white pupil, a pale olivescent- 
ochreous ring, and then a narrow brown outer ring; followed by a brown sub¬ 
marginal fascia and a slender straight marginal line; the intervening area between 
the discal and submarginal fascia being pale olivescent-ochreous and brown speckled, 
with the two costal whitish spots before the apex, as on upperside. Hindicing 
crossed by two irregular ochreous-white bordered dark-brown short subbasal broken 
bands from the costa, a similar-coloured transverse discal irregular zigzag band, 
followed by a series of seven prominent black ocelli, the seventh being duplex, each 
with a white pupil, dark-ochreous ring, and then a dark-brown ring; beyond these 
is an interrupted dark-brown submarginal fascia, and a slender marginal line, both 
of which are posteriorly pale-ochreous bordered from the upper median vein ; the 
subbasal intervening spaces thickly speckled with pale-ochreous scales, and the area 
bordering the ocelli with purplish-ochreous scales. \ 
Female. Upperside similar to the male, except that on the forewing there is 
an indistinctly-defined transverse nearly-erect narrow dusky-brown fascia. Under¬ 
side as in the male; sometimes the forewing has an additional or lower ocellus 
between the median and submedian vein. Body beneath pale ochreous-brown ; fore¬ 
legs, middle and hind femora beneath pale-ochreous ; collar, and sides of palpi 
ochreous-white ; antennae reddish-ochreous, with blackish terminal band.
