mostly excepted, rejiresenting a broad disco-postdiscal band, bar D and median bars 

 C — R- sometimes vestigial, a white discal i)atch C— SC- either isolated or joined 

 to the respective bine postdiscal spot ; snbmnr<rinal dots white, mostly blue at 

 edges, spot H' — K- small, sometimes vestigial ; admarginal spots R- — M- generally 

 continuous, feebly interrupted by the black veins, extending far into tails, pale blue, 

 mostly white at veins, spots SC^ — R° rufous red, heavy, or vestigial, or absent ; 

 anal spot huffish : the snbmarginal and admarginal series broken at R- owing to 

 the wing being suddenly dilated at H- : a white and jiale blue patch at abdominal 

 margin near anal angle. 



I'nderside variegated with cream colour and drali ; basal to median bars rnf'ous 

 red, edged with black.— — Forewing : markings in cell and snl)median and median 

 bars heavy ; basal cell-spot present, with a costal spot in front ; bar 3 more or less 

 rounded, bar 4 strongly angled, interspaces more or less creamy white ; submedian 

 bar M'— M- before base of M', more distal than bar M-— (SM'), the latter extended 

 black, often joined to respective discal one, no submedian bar R' — M' ; discal bars 

 M' — (SIP) continuous or nearly so, bar R^ — M' more distal, about 4 mm. from base 

 of M', somewhat luniform as a rule, bar R- — W more jiroximal, bar R' — R- more 

 distal thau bars SC^ — R', these latter fused to one marking, median bars with 

 milky white patches at outer side ; discal bars black, standing in a slightly curved 

 series, bar M- — (SM') sometimes touching median bar, bars SC — M' short, more 

 like spots thau bars, not luniform, all at outside with milky, or creamy, white 

 patches — posterior ones externally shaded with rufous in some individuals — which 

 are well separated from one another and reach to the postdiscal black bars, which 

 stand in a series about parallel to outer margin, the posterior bars patch-like, the 

 middle ones rejiresented by rather small spots, the upper two larger again, especially 

 patch SC'^ — SC^, which has often a rnfous red centre ; submargiual bars thin, 

 forming a blackish drab line which is more or less interrupted at veins, very widely 

 so at R', edge of wing thinly blackish drab, admarginal interspaces with white or 



creamy patches between veins, patches SC — SC* and R' — R- small. Hindwing : 



basal costal bar represented by a l)rown spot, PC edged with blackish brown, costal 

 submedian, median and discal bars wanting, the costal area uj) to jwstdiscal bar 

 creamy white ; subbasal to discal bars C — SC^, cell-bar 2 and upper portion of 

 cell-bar 4, as well as median and discal bars SC- — R', heavy ; subbasal to median 

 bars C — SC- close together; bar D thin; basal cell-spot black, veius SM-, SJP, 

 and (SM') more or less black, a line between these veins and sometimes one beyond 

 SM^ also black ; median bars M^— SM- zigzag; discal and postdiscal bars black, 

 j)arallel, bars R- — R' more distal than bars R' — R^ and R' — M', postdiscal bars 

 R^— SM- arched, the respective discal ones not or only slightly arched ; submedian 

 white spots prominent, submedian interspaces drab, this colour extending between 

 C and R- to discal bars or more basad ; blackish brown submargiual bars C — H- 

 straight, bars R" — M' enlarged, l)lack, bars M' — SM- much shaded with blue ; 

 admarginal spots C — R^ rufous red, bordered all round with white, transverse, ui>i)er 

 one triangular, spot R- — R' olive buff, small, often very thin, sjwts R^— M- larger, 

 more or less yellow, not interrupted at M', anal spot olive buff ; tails slender, long. 



?. Body above, less black than in S, bistre brown ; underside as in S, but 

 abdomen brown, with huffish or whitish edges to the segments ; anterior tarsi white. 



Wi7i^s, upitemide : purple black, with a slight bluisli gloss, which is stronger 



and more greenish in basal area. Forewing : the markings creamy white, or 



from M- to costal margin jjale tawny ochraceous ; discal spots as in i, but smaller,
