Imago. —Male and female. Forewing with the extreme edge of exterior margin 
even and acutely angulated outward below the apex and obtusely at end of lower 
median, j Rindwing also even and obtusely angulated at end of upper median and 
prolonged at anal angle. Upperside ochreous-red, basal areas slightly infuscated. 
Forewing with the costal border and outer margin ochreous-brown ; two black 
sinuous lines crossing middle of the cell, two at its end with the internal area dark 
bluish-black, followed by a somewhat similar black narrower fascia, between which 
and the apex is a subtriangular black patch more or less enclosing two ocellated 
spots, the upper spot smallest or generally obsolete, the lower spot blue-black with 
whitish-speckled centre ; a lower-discal larger similar ocellated spot, with black 
outer ring, between the middle and lower medians; a submarginal and two marginal 
blackish sinuous lines. Hindwing with a very large upper-discal ocellated spot, 
’which is purplish with two small inner dentate dots and outer black patch, yellow 
ring and outer black ring; a much smaller similar lower-discal ocellated spot with 
small white dot, which is more or less ill-defined and sometimes obsolete; sub¬ 
marginal and marginal sinuous lines as on forewing, but more defined. Underside 
pale or obscure brownish-ochreous. Forewing crossed by three obscure basal darker 
sinuous fascise, a discal slender sinuous pale line, an outer-discal dusky fascia 
traversed by a row of small blackish dots and a lower ill-defined ocellus, followed 
by a submarginal sinuous line. Hindwing crossed by a subbasal wavy pale ochreous 
line and a straight dark-edged discal line, an outer-discal row of small blackish dots, 
of which the upper two and sometimes the lowest are obscurely ocellate, followed by 
a submarginal sinuous brown line. Body above ochreous-red ; palpi above brownish- 
ochreous ; body and palpi beneath and legs pale whitish-ochreous ; antennas dark 
brown above, beneath and tip ochreous.
