The female is paler, only the hindwing shows distinct russet-yellow marginal lunules, of which there are also traces in the male. ‘The ocelli of the underside are much less enlarged and prominent in both sexes, those of the hindwing being especially very much smaller and delicate. — In Turkestan, Bokhara, in June, at 5—10 000 ft. Asia. . [2]
