This is the most remarkable of all known forms of coenonympha. On the upper side, ochre-yellow with a deep black distal edge; the forewing bearing a huge apical ocellus without a pupil; the hindwing with 4 or 5 black submarginal spots in a straight row. On the underside the apical ocellus is pupiled. Pupils as well as eye dots may increase in number (ab. geminipuncta Blach). The basal portion of the hindwing is a blackish olive-colour with a white apex to the cell; the distal portion is dirty white and bears six equally large pupiled ocelli, from Morocco, where the insect was found in June, occurring very locally.
