Description

Wingspan can reach 35–45 millimetres (1.4–1.8 in). In both males and females, the upperside of the wings is basically dusky black, with both forewings and hindwings crossed by a white discal band. Hindwings show also a curved narrow postdiscal white band. The underside of the forewings and hindwings is crossed by five white bands. Across the discal and post discal bands is present a row of black, yellow ringed ocelli, with silvery-blue centres. Forewings bear eight ocelli, while hindwings show seven ocelli.[2][3]
