This dark scaling of the male is only interrupted by the black discal spots and a reddish yellow distal band of the hindwing. The underside is rather uniform in colour, on the disc of the forewing somewhat brighter reddish yellow, with numerous, rather large, round ocelli strongly edged with whitish. In Central Europe and the southern districts of North Europe, from the shores of the North Sea and the Baltic provinces to the chain of the Alps, and from North France to the Altai and Mongolia. — In the South the species is represented by the much larger

The butterflies are on the wing in June and July; they are less confined to definite restricted flight-places than the preceding species , but occur much more singly and like drier localities. They are busy visiting flowers, especially those of brambles at sunny waysides;
