Description

{{entomology glossary hatnote}}

Male upperside very dark Vandyke brown; forewing uniform: hindwing with a postdiscal series of three or four blind black ocellar spots. Underside, brown; forewing below vein 2 and terminal margin paler, a broad band across the cell, the wing medially and at apex suffused with lilac, bearing an incurved postdiscal series of five, blind black ocelli. Hindwing: subbasal and discal narrow transverse lilac bands, the former sinuous, the latter angulated on vein 4, and an arched postdiscal series of black fulvous-ringed ocelli, some with disintegrate centres; the wing medially suffused with lilac, the ocelli with lilacine lunules on both sides. Forewings and hindwings with slender lilacine subterminal and broader ochraceous terminal lines.[5]

Female similar, ground colour paler; a broad oblique white discal bar and two white preapical spots on the upperside of the forewing; a large, rectangular, black subterminal mark in interspaces and a white spot above and below it, on the upperside of the hindwing. Underside similar to the underside in the male, all the markings more prominent, the lilac, ochraceous and brown shades paler; the broad discal bar on forewing, as on the upperside, joined by a nearly vertical lilacine white band bearing the series of ocelli.[3][4]

On the hindwing the brown transverse discal band very broadly produced between veins 4 and 5. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown; antennae ochraceous at apex.[3]

Wingspan 64–68 mm.[3]

Found in southern India and Sri Lanka.[3]
