_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Thorax, abdomen, and wings dark brown, or
dark hair-coloured; the latter being furnished with two small tails like
hairs, the extremities being white.
_Under Side._ Palpi white. Breast greyish. Wings nearly the same colour
as on the upper side. The posterior having two eyes on each at the
abdominal corners; one being black with a red iris, the other grey and
faint; above them is a small indented white line, pointing to a spot of
the same colour placed at the middle of the anterior edge.
Fabricius, without referring to this figure of Drury, described an Indian
species of the same genus from Drury's collection, under the same specific
name, which must of course be rejected. The French encyclopedists consider
the latter as identical with the Fabrician Hesperia Isocrates.
