 towards base and inner margin. 



Forewing shaped as in (/udcriana Dew., bnt onter margin strongly dentate. 

 A small dot at apex of cell, a row of four slightly larger spots beyond cell 

 lietween veins 2 to 7 (no sjwt between veins 4 and 5), a series of nine sjiots 

 lietween costal and inner margins in the onter half of the disc, the first six spots 

 small (diameter i to % mm.), the last three measuring 1^, 2|, 3i mm. respectively; 

 the first mm. from the tip of the wing, the third 5 mm. from the outer margin; 

 the others a little more discal and arranged in a nearly straight line. All the 

 markings of the forewing i)ale bine, the five iijipcr diifs of the outer series with a 

 wliite centre. 



Hindwing with a large ]iale lilne jiatch occupying the greater ]mrt of the outer 

 portion of the disc ; the patch is about 9 mm. wifle liehind, S mm. in tlie middle, 

 while its two sections between veins 5 and 7 measure and :U nun. res])ec- 

 tively; before vein 7 there are two indistinct bine spots, one in front of the patch, 

 the other more basal ; behind the latter spot stand a few blue scales. In the 

 black marginal area, which is of nearly equal width between anal angle and vein 5 

 (namely 3J mm. between the veins), there is a series of six thin submarginal spots of 

 a pa'e bine colour, besides two more rounded purplish blue dots ut anal angle, and
