spots M- — SM- merged together to a large patch as iu Lh. smaragdalis butleri, 

 concave distally, measuring aLont 8 mm. npon (SM'), contignons with a broad 

 streak at internal margin, which reaches almost end of SM- ; discal spots SC'' — R' 

 elongate, separated by the blue-black veins, spot J{' — If- the longest, spots R^ — M- 

 shorter and broader, convex proximally, somewhat concave distally ; postdiscal 

 spots R- — M'' triangular, concave distally, pointed proximally, spot M' — M- joined 

 to the discal one between veins, spot R' — M' nearly reaching discal one, postdiscal 

 spots SC^ — R- somewhat smaller, not distinctly triangular, spot SC— S(? the 



smallest, somewhat white in centre. Hindwing : a jiurplish blue disco-postdiscal 



band of seven patches, all separated from one another by the blue-black veins, 

 all concave distally, the posterior ones joined along the veins to the blue admarginal 

 spots as in Ck. smanigdalis smaragdalis ; length of patches C — M' between veins 

 4, 8, 10, 10, mm. respectively, patches M' — (SM') reaching base of M^ ; 

 submarginal dots as in smaragdalis, blue, jiartly with minute white centres. 



Underside, distal part of discal interspaces, postdiscal and submarginal 

 interspaces of forewing bistre, rest of forewing and submediau, postdiscal, 

 submarginal, and jiroximal portion of discal interspaces of hindwing of a peculiar 

 bluish grey colour. Forewing : cell-bars similar to those of Ch. smaragdalis, bar 

 4 deeply incurved in costal half, npi^er end pointing distad ; bar D rather heavy; 

 snbmedian bars M' — (SM') concave proximally, nearly touching each other, bar 

 M' — M- just distal of base of M' ; median bars SC^ — R^, 3 mm. from cross-veins 

 at R-, bars R^ — SM^ concave distally, contiguous, bar R' — M' mm. from base 

 of M', 3A to 4 mm. from bar D, bar M- (SM'J, u to 7 mm. from bluish grey jiost- 

 discal lunule at (SM') ; discal bars obsolete, last ones vestigial, their outer borders 

 rather clearly defined on account of the postdiscal bluish grey interstitial half- 

 moons ; postdiscal bars M' — SM- represented by black i)atches. Hindwing : 



costal subbasal and submediau bars joined together in front to a half-ring, the 

 costal submediau bar standing in front of the subbasal bar C — SC; cell-bar 4 curving 

 basad posteriorly, joining (or nearly so) cell-bar 2 ; median bars olivaceous, thin, 

 posterior ones partly obsolete, costal one not or very little more basal than bar 

 C — SC'-, bars SC — R' and R-— R' a little more basal than R' — R- ; submarginal 

 dots black ; tails short and blunt. 



?. Wings, abore. Forewing: brownish black, base and internal marginal 



area burnt umber ; a broad, white, obliijue band from middle of costal margin 

 to SM-, 1.5 mm. wide between M' and M-, 6 mm. before R', its inner edge irregular, 

 outer edge indented npon and between veins, between M^ and SM- the band 

 nearly reaching margin of wing, the white scaling almost surrounding a large 

 postdiscal, black patch, whicli is sometimes divided at (SM') ; two, rather large, 



white postdiscal sjwts SC — R', followed by traces of one or two more. 



Hindwing : raw umber, darker towards base, clayish cream colour at anterior 

 angle, fringe clayish creamy, more extended brown at ends of veins R- to SM' ; 

 a complete series of blue submarginal spots, centred white, placed in ovate, 

 postdisco-submarginal, black jiatches, which are separate, and of which the second 

 is the largest, measuring 7 mm. iu length, these patches jjoiuted distally and 

 proximally ; admarginal line very heavy between veins. 



Underside. Forewing : basal area very pale olive, more grey at the bars ; 



white band as above, but extending to outer margin at internal angle, including 

 the two ])ostdiscal, black patches M" — SM- ; median row of bars at inner edge 

 of baud more oblicpie than in J ; postdiscal spots R'— M' bluish white, well marked,
