Description
For a key to the terms used, see Glossary of entomology terms.

The males have the upperside of the forewing darkening towards the apex, the apical two-thirds much darker brown, an oblique discal white band from interspace 6 to tornal angle formed of more or less rectangular spots; a small spot beyond in interspace 4 and two preapical spots white. Hindwing uniform, a lunular subterminal dark line inwardly bordered by a row of dark spots, and a terminal row of pale lunules. Underside pale brownish grey. Forewing with the discal band and spots more or less as on the upperside; a black, blind, yellow-ringed ocellus, with a dark brown shade in the interspace below it; ocellus and brown shading bordered inwardly by white; a subterminal dark line, and some diffuse white marks on termen below apex and at tornus. Hindwing with an incomplete discal white band and a series of white spots beyond, ending in a well-marked, broadly yellow-ringed, blue-centred, black ocellus in interspace 2; lastly, a subterminal dark line as in the forewing. Antennae brown, paler below the club; head, thorax and abdomen brown, paler beneath.[1]

The female is similar; the hindwing is more rounded and the oblique discal band on the forewing is very much broader. The wingspan is 68–80 mm.

It is found in north-eastern India and South-East Asia.

gollark: It's not really optimised for it though. Your makefile could just call cargo to compile the rust bits.
gollark: Or which calls cargo.
gollark: Rust can bind to C perfectly well, it's done a lot.
gollark: Well, then you can have a script interface the build systems together.
gollark: You can actually create, manage and build Rust projects with simple tooling which works easily and without horrible issues, and (almost?) every library uses the same stuff so you can interoperate trivially.
