The scales in the btisal area of the forewing above have very short teeth, those 

 in the outer half have scarcely any teeth.

S ? . Bodi/ above dark olive, four dots on head, a line behind eye, and two dots 

 at each side of prothorax white ; underside clay colour, palpi and middle of breast 

 more creamy buff, npperside of anterior tibia of ? black. 



(J. Wings above black. Forewing: a postdiscal series of white spots jiarallel 



to outer margin anteriorly curved costad, upper spots minute, edged with pale bine, 

 last ones larger, merged together to a band which is about 5 mm. wide at internal 



margin, nearly all whitish blue, 3 mm. distant from outer margin before SMI 



Hindwing : a broad disco-postdiscal blael white band, tapering at both ends, its 

 inner edge somewhat convex, especially posteriorly, crossing M at base of M', its 

 outer edge nearly parallel to outer margin ; a series of white, minute, submarginal 

 dots ; admarginal interstitial markings transverse, continuous or subcontinuous, 

 tawny, shaded with blue at edges, anal one yellow, spot C — SC" absent, the next 

 one abbreviated. 



Underside russet wood brown, glossy, except at outer margin of forewing and 



in disco-j)ostdiscal area of hindwing. Forewing : cell-bar 2 short, bar 3 separated 



into two dots, bar 4 straight, somewhat oblique ; bar D thin ; submedian M- — (SM') 

 behind point of origin of M-, bar M' — M- about 1 J mm. more distal ; median bars 

 more or less straight, continuous, the line straight, crossing R' about 1 mm. from 

 crossveius, M^ 5 mm. from its base, bordered white distally, the white scaling 

 forming an ill-defined baud ; discal bars represented by an obsolete line which 

 becomes more prominent on account of the scaling at its proximal side being deeper 

 in tint than that at its distal side, the line parallel to the median line from R' to 

 internal margin, 4 to 4| mm. distant from it, then carving distad and costad ; 

 postdiscal bar (SM') — SM- represented by a small black patch about 1 mm. distant 

 of discal line, scaling whitish at discal side of the patch ; vestiges of pale postdisco- 



snbmarginal wings. Hindwing : no basal and snbbasal costal bars and no 



subbasal bar C — SC^ submedian bars continuous, or the line slightly broken at 

 base of R' ; median bars continuous, the line apjjearing as a continuation of the line 

 of forewing, straight, curving abdominad beyond (SM'), crossing M- at base, with 

 an ill-defined, narrow, white, band at outer side ; discal bars arched, concave distally, 

 middle ones rather feebly marked, bar R' — R^ more distal than the others, often 

 obsolete, the series slightly biconcave ; postdiscal bars ill-defined, partly obsolete, 

 parallel to the discal ones, interspaces halfmoou-shaped, cinnamon rufous, olivaceous
