Male. — Expands 1.8 inch. 
Upper side of primaries next base and of secondaries throughout either olive- 
gray or olive-brown, the remainder of primaries being dark fuscous; hind margin 
of same wing edged by a series of broad confluent lunules, sometimes not clearly 
defined, but often paler than the ground and distinct; these spots are bisected 
by a black line which runs parallel with the margin; on the extra-discal area 
two rows of white spots, the outer consisting of three, one of which is near 
costa, the second on the discoidal interspace, and the third on upper median; 
there is also a minute spot or point outside the line, next the margin on the 
lower sub-costal interspace; the second row crosses the wing in a double curve, 
and consists of seven spots, the first two nearly equal and smaller than the fifth, 
the third and fourth minute, the sixth and seventh about the size of the first; 
all these are sometimes clear white, or the inner row is more or less tinted with 
ochraceous; in the cell three black spots, two of them small, either sub-ovate 
or renate, one resting on the sub-costal nervure, the other on median oppo¬ 
site; a larger spot posterior to these, reaching across the cell, and in form a 
bent bar; on the second median interspace, in the outer line of spots, a black 
rounded ocellus with narrow brown iris and without pupil; in some cases there 
is a second ocellus on the upper median interspace, inclosing the lowest of the 
white spots, and rarely may be seen a third upon the discoidal interspace, also 
inclosing a white spot. 
Secondaries sometimes fuscous for a narrow space along hind margin and 
at outer angle, sometimes of a uniform shade of color from base to margin; 
a sub-marginal black line as on primaries, preceded by a second line which 
is irregularly serrated, or sometimes wavy; upon the disk a series of six 
small blind ocelli crosses the wing, the second from costa being by its own 
breadth posterior to the general line ; these are nearly equal in size, excepting
