Imago. —Male. Upperside reddish-ochreous ; cilia black, alternated with white. 
Forewing with a dark ochreous-brown, almost black, outer marginal band, which is 
broadest anteriorly and of slightly variable width, its inner edge being curved to the 
costa. Hindwing with a similar coloured outer marginal band, which is broadest 
anteriorly, narrowing to above the radial veinlet and traversed outwardly by two 
indistinct paler lunular lines, from whence it is continued to the anal angle as two, 
more or less slender, or partly conjoined lunular black lines, the outer line being 
generally the broadest, the anal end dilated and angled upward and speckled with 
violet scales; within the lower submarginal area is a parallel series of four round 
black-speckled, or entirely black, spots, the upper one being between the radial and 
subcostal and sometimes encompassed by the marginal band. Underside clear 
sepia-brown, or dark sepia-brown, crossed by a subbasal and an ante-medial darker 
brown or purpurescent-brown broad sinuous fascia, each edged on both their sides 
by a very slender violet-blue line, followed by two medial-discal slender dark brown 
sinuous fasciae inwardly^-edged by a slender violet-blue line ; an outer-discal broad 
dark brown lunular fascia which is more or less slightly, or sometimes obsolescently, 
inwardly-bordered by reddish-ochreous lunules on both wings and less so outwardly 
on the forewing, but also more prominently outwardly on the hind wing, where, in 
the latter wing, the red lunules are sometimes broader and at anal angle dilated, the 
lower second and third lunules being sometimes absent; beyond them is a sub- 
inarginal contiguous row of large rounded ocelli, each with a violet-blue and black 
central dot and blacUand-violet edged outer ring ; on the forewing there are six of 
these ocelli, the lowest being bipupilled and inwardly-bordered by a broad violet-
