Form ALOPE. 
Male. —Expands 2.25 inches. 
Upper side blackish-brown, darkest over basal areas ; hind margins bordered 
by two fine parallel lines, a little within which is a black stripe; primaries have 
a transverse yellow band beyond the disk, sometimes a little ochraceous, and 
often more or less encroached on by the brown ground ; on this are two ocelli, 
round, black, of variable size, and with or without central point, which is white 
with blue scales; behind cell a blackish indistinct sexual dash. 
Secondaries have a small ocellus on second median interspace, in yellow ring 
(often wanting), and with or without white points ; fringes concolored. 
Under side yellow-brown ; the band enlarged and of paler color; the ocelli 
repeated, enlarged; the marginal lines distinct; the brown area covered with 
abbreviated darker streaks, which over base and disks form somewhat concentric 
broken rings, limited without by a common dark stripe; on primaries this 
stripe borders on the yellow band; on secondaries it is irregularly sinuous from 
margin to margin, throwing out a rounded prominence against cell, followed by 
a rounded sinus on median interspace; across middle of cell and below it a 
dark stripe; the extra-discal area less streaked ; the ocelli vary from nil to six, 
the full number being most often present, disposed in two groups of three, the 
middle one of each group largest; all black, rounded, in narrow yellow rings, 
and with white dots edged by blue scales.
