veinlet in the forewing and also slightly on the medians in the hindwing, both 
lines also broadly bordered externally with glossy lilacine pinkish-white ; marginal 
lines dark brown, slender. Forewing with five, generally six, small uniformly-sized 
pale ocelli, each with minute black centre and a slightly perceptible white pupil, all 
encompassed by a lilacine outer ring. Hindwing with six more prominent ocelli, the 
upper and the fourth being rounded, the others more oval and the lowest duplex, 
each with a dark brown-black centre speckled with white, and with a prominent 
lilacine outer ring. 
Female. Upperside dusky-red, apical half of the forewing, and marginal border 
of hindwing darker olivescent-brown; marginal lines of hindwing dark brown and 
interlined with ochreous. Forewing with an angulated, macular, white band bordering 
the transverse discal blackish line, and a small white apical spot, below the latter, 
in some specimens, are three small incipient pale ocelli. Hindwing with a slightly 
apparent transverse discal blackish angulate line, five large black submarginal spots, 
and sometimes a less apparent small lower spot, all more or less with a paler red 
outer ring, or in some their outer border is of a pale ochreous tint. Underside of 
the same paler colour as in male, the transverse subbasal line on both wings is straight, 
but the discal line on the forewing is broadly angulated outward on the upper 
median vein, and its costal end terminates inward nearer the subbasal line; the 
discal line on the hindwing is also somewhat more angulated than in the male; the 
discal line on the forewing has a broad lilacine-white macular outer border, and this 
line on the hindwing is also more or less broadly bordered externally with 
lilacine-white ; ocelli on both wings as in the male, except that on the forewing the 
ocellus between the middle and upper medians is pushed slightly outward by the 
white dentate spot. Body and legs beneath, and sides of palpi pale brownish- 
ochreous ; antennas reddish with brown apical band.
