Upper side blackish-brown; primaries with two black ocelli pupilled with white, the iris a little paler; secondaries with a smaller eye often preceded by another small one without a pupil. Under side brown, with the markings more obscure ; the eyes of the primaries with a fulvous iris, preceded by a transverse brown line, and followed near the fringe by three very fine parallel lines; that of the secondaries is traversed in the middle by two sinuous brown lines, followed by an irregular row of six small black ocelli and more or less marked with blue. The female is much larger than the male ; the ocelli of the pri- maries are larger, circled with fulvous yellow ; the small ocelli of the under side of the inferiors much less distinct than in the male.
