border of both wings with an indistinct dusky lunular submarginal border to the 
marginal line ; cilia brown alternated with cinereous-white. Forewing with a very 
indistinct dusky transverse discal oblique line, which is almost imperceptibly pale 
bordered externally at its costal end; an indistinct ochreous small costal spot before 
the apex. Hindwing with two or three, sometimes four, submarginal small black 
spots. Underside jealer. Forewing with a short ill-defined darker brown pale-bor¬ 
dered streak across the cell, a more distinct transverse oblique discal slightly-undu¬ 
lated dark brown line, which is externally bordered at its costal end with a narrow 
lilacine-white streak, beyond which is a similar lilacine-white costal streak and three 
subapical superposed very small indistinct ocelli, each with a white pupil; marginal 
line pale bordered. Hindicing crossed by three slender wavy interrupted glossy 
lilacine-blue subbasal lines, and an entire irregular similar discal line, the latter 
being broadly bordered externally with dark brown, followed by a submarginal series 
of six ocelli, the upper one and the fifth the largest and very prominent, the sixth 
duplex, each with a black centre, a white pupil, an ochreous ring, a dark brown 
ring, and then a glossy lilacine-blue outer ring, the white pupil of the upper second, 
third, and fourth being blurred and blue-tinged; marginal line bordered inwardly 
by a prominent glossy lilacine-blue lunular line.
