separated, but always placed a little more distad than patch M- — SM-, especially 

 its proximal edge ; spot W? — M' more distal, smaller, rounded, measuring from ;5 to 

 4Amm.; spot R- — R^ close to cell, minute: upper median s])(itsSC' — R" somcwliat larger 

 than spot R- — R', and little or not larger than submedian spot S( '' — R", the upper one 

 rounded elongate, H to 3 mm. long. Uppermost snbmargiualspot SC* — SC" mostly 

 absent, seldom vestigial, the following the largest, the third and the last the 



smallest ; little or no glaucous wliite scaling at the edges of the median band. 



Hindwing : white median band shaped as below, dilated basad about to origin of R' 

 by means of pale glaucous white scaling, bordered distally with pale glaucous blue, 

 especially heavily between R^ and M-, where the bluish scaling is sinuate, forming 

 sometimes isolated Innules, often extended along JI-, seldom also along M', to join 

 the admarginal spots of the same colour : a jiale glaucous Idue lunnle also between 

 JI- and iSM", separated from a whitish triangular patch at the end of the abdominal 

 fold by a black line ; submarginal dots minute, the second the largest, pale glaucous 

 blue with white centres ; pairs of triangular admarginal sjjots at end of veins R- to 

 M" ; between ]\I- and SM- a com{)lete admarginal yellow bar, the middle juirt nf 

 which is wider. Ujijier tail 'i to 'J mm., second ■ih to T mm. long. 



Underside : marginal area of forewing and submarginal area of hindwing drab- 

 colour, or mouse-grey, or clayish ochraceous ; submedian cellules of forewing more 

 or less slate-colour, often nearly Idack distally ; rest of ground of wings in various 



shades of clayisii ochraceous. Forewing: middle bar of cell narrower than the 



interspace between it and the curved npper cell-bar, often constricted in middle, 

 sometimes nearly divided into two sjiots, that interspace bordered white all round ;
