 creamy buff, sometimes almost white, with the tibiae all black in front ; middle and 

 hinder femora black, with huffish scaling, tibiae and tarsi buff-colour. 



S ? ■ Wings, abocf purplish black, base steel-blne in side-light, ? paler 



than S. Forewing: a white discal band, widest in middle, mostly e.^ctending 



from R^ to internal margin, with one or two separate spots in front of R- and R', 

 sometimes these spots as well as a third before W continuous (or almost .so) 

 with the main jHirtion of the band ; inner edge of band from R' to SM- almost 

 straight, then oblique between ^W and internal margin ; a few glaucous bine 

 scales at liasal side of band, while there is a broad jiale blue border to the band at 

 distal side, widest near .SM", extending from internal margin to iP or beyond ; a 



white .snbmarginal dot before R' often absent. Hindwing : white discal band 



tapering behind, of variable length, mostly reaching M-, its inner edge slightly 

 conve.x, often nearly straight, outer edge somewhat concave ; a narrow basal border 

 and a much wider outer border to the band pale bbn^ ; the discal pale blue scaling 

 of (? concave between veins, widest between H^ and M', extending to anal angle, 

 forming here a Innule that is joined to the anal admarginal yellow spot, this scaling 

 much less extended in ? and more violet ; between ( ' and S( '- there is seldom 

 discal j)ale l)lue scaling ; a complete series of small white snbmarginal, more or less 

 transverse, dots, followed liy ocliraceons, mostly rather ill-tlefiued, admarginal,
