Male. — Expands 1.8 inch. 
Upper side of primaries next base and partly in the median interspaces, 
and of secondaries throughout, ferruginous; the remainder of primaries, which 
comprises the apical area to median nervure and to cell, and the discal portion 
of the median interspaces, fuscous ; hind margins bordered narrowly by fus¬ 
cous ; both wings have a sub-marginal black stripe, and a little anterior to this, 
a second, which, on secondaries, is either very slightly crenated, or is cremated 
next outer angle and serrated posteriorly ; primaries have a transverse row of 
seven spots, either all white, or the upper three or four white and remainder 
yellow, arranged in a double curve, the first two and fifth nearly equal, the 
third and fourth minute, the sixth and seventh, near inner margin, equal, rather 
smaller than the fifth and sometimes confluent; .midway between this row and 
the margin is a second row of white spots and ocelli; the spots, two in number, 
being placed on the upper sub-costal and the discoidal interspaces; the three 
ocelli, on the lower sub-costal and the median interspaces, are black, rounded, 
the upper one small, with an indistinct pale iris, the others large, nearly equal, 
each with a few blue scales forming a minute eccentric spot and each sur¬ 
rounded by a pale brown nimbus; in the cell two transverse bars, the one at 
the outer extremity sub-reniform, the other near the middle straight, both ob¬ 
scure brown centrally, black at the edges, and separated by a space that is white 
irrorated with brown. 
Secondaries have the costal margin fuscous; upon the extra-discal area a 
series of six black ocelli, arranged as in Celtis and Clyton , the second from costa 
largest and back of the line, the sixth minute, the others nearly equal and rather 
more than half the size of the second ; each surrounded by a shade slightly 
paler than the ground color of the wing, and several containing small eccentric 
clusters of blue scales; on the middle of costal margin a white patch, in 
line with which five small white spots pass round the extremity of the cell;
