ones elongate, small, spots M' — SM' merged together to one single, large, patch, 



all more or less edged with pale bine ; fringe white, except at ends of veins. 



Hindwing : a pale bine postdiscal band of variable width, npper partitions mostly 

 separated, often obsolete, partitions W — SM^ more or less convex proximally 

 regularly concave distally, width of band 2 to 3i mm. between R' and M' ; white 

 snbmarginal dots transverse, with pale bine borders which are in most specimens 

 very heavy and not rarely joined at veins M', M-, (SM'), to the postdiscal band, 

 black bars R' — SM'' separating the postdiscal band and the submarginal spots as 

 thin as, or very much thinner than, the submarginal blue and white markings ; 

 admarginal interstices C — R' creamy white, heavy, separated by the thinly black 

 veins, often with ochreous dots npon the internervnlar folds, interstices R' — SM' 

 pale blue, mostly with creamy white, longitudinal, subtriangular, small spots at 

 veins, and with ochreons dots in middle, anal one nearly all ochreous ; abdominal 

 fold brown, greyish near margin. 



Underside drab, with a vinaceons tint, shaded with grey except median and a 



great portion of discal interspaces. Forewing : cell-bar 2 elongate-ovate, bar 3 



represented by two heavy dots, bar 4 somewhat oblique, curved distad in middle, 

 mostly slightly concave near ends, reaching M midway between M' and M^, a 

 white spot in apex as above, but a little smaller and often less well-defined ; 

 submedian bar M^— (SM') about 1 mm. distal of base of M-, bar M' — M^ generally 

 a little more di.stal than the lower end of cell-bar 4, but often touching it ; median 

 bars R^ — SM'' gradually 1 or 2 mm. more proximal, bar R^ — M' 3^ mm. from 

 base of M\ bar R^ — R^ just in front of it or more proximal, bars SC — R' 5 mm. 

 from cell, with contiguous, white, patches at outside, simUar patches often at 

 outside of median R' — M^, bnt here mostly reduced to a white line ; discal bars 

 arched, all black, well marked, with white spots at outside, which are variable 

 in size and distinctness ; postdiscal bars represented by patches, patches M^ — SM^ 

 black, often large, the others brown, halfmoon-shaped, concave proximally, upper 



ones often obsolete; admarginal spots as above, but not well-defined, more huffish. 



Hindwing : basal and snbbasal costal bars and subbasal bar C — SC- absent, 

 submedian and median bars thinner than those on forewing, both costal bars a 

 little more proximal than the respective bars C — SC^, the two lines of bars about 

 parallel, concave distally between C and R' resp. M, median bars (SM') — SM' 

 not continuous, at right angles to the veins, or pointing somewhat basad with 

 hinder ends ; discal bars regularly arched, black, with heavy, yellowish or greyish 

 olive buff, outer borders, followed by rufous red halfmoous which are distally 

 bordered by the black postdiscal bars, these bars thin, often absent, bar R' — R' 

 often developed to a patch ; white snbmarginal spots small, transverse, not sharply 

 defined as a rule, posterior ones pinkish, submarginal black bars C — R^ thin, often 

 obsolete, bars R' — SM- heavier but shorter, with a blue dot at proximal side ; 

 admarginal interstices C — R' creamy white, the others white only at veins, all 

 with an ochreous spot in middle ; thin marginal line drab ; fringe white except 

 at ends of veins ; anal angle produced, wing triangular ; tails slender, acute, upper 

 one 4 mm., second 5 mm. long. 



?. Winqs above. Forewing: brownish black, basal area hazel tawny; a 



triangular patch in apex of cell, a discal and a postdiscal band of interstitial patches 

 buff yellow ; the discal patches R' to internal margin large, often contiguous, patch 

 R' — M' the smallest of them, spot R* — R' more proximal, small, often absent, spots 

 SC*' — R- about 5 to 6 mm. from cell, contiguous, or very slightly separated, mostly
