parallel to outer margin, followed disUilly by a similar greyish white liue ending 

 iu a white ajiieai patch ; the olive-blaclc bands and lines rather obscure on both 

 wings. 



L'lulcrsidc similar to upper, the olive-black markings replaced by viuaceous 

 cinnamon-rufous ones ; hindwing with subbasal orange-yellow band from C! to 

 hinder margin, forming a halfring, which is oiwn proximally, bordered distally 

 by an obscure vinaceous cinnamon-rufous baud ; uo further bands between these 

 and the eye-spot.

c??. Body velvety black; head, pronotum, and legs metallic blue, strongly 

 glossy, sides of abdomen also glossy at base, rest of body with blue reflections; 

 abdomen with orange patch of variable size ou underside iu distal half. 



^Vings, upperside, velvety black, with blue reflections. Forewing : rather 



more elongate in S than in ? ; a broad greenish blue metallic band from costal 

 to hinder margin, variable in width, extended basad at costal margin in J, its 

 distal edge crossing cell usually at point of origin of M' ; a submarginal band of 



elongate blue spots from costal margin to M^ narrowing behind. Hindwing 



strongly notched in c? before anal angle, the notch vestigial in ? ; a broad 

 metallic-blue patch from base beyond ape.K of cell, triangular, widening distally, 

 a little longer in ? than iu S ; vestiges of blue submarginal spots, often absent ; 

 proximally of anal angle a rounded spot of deep crimson, very variable in size, 

 often absent. 



L'ndersidc black, with blue reflections iu ¥ ; scales raised iu S in distal half 

 of wing, intermingled with hair-like scales, between veins large opaque patches, 



rather indistinct, opaque appearance due to 2'reseuce of grey scales. -Forewing : 



metallic blue from base to disc, the blue area extended to near distal margin at M-, 

 limited behind at (SM'), reaching at costal margin a little beyond apex of coll, 



usually more extended in ? than in S. Hindwing: metallic blue from base to 



near apex of cell in 6, the area deeply excised behind cell, in ? the blue colour 

 extending beyond cell, the area being uniformly blue iu and before cell, but more 

 black with blue reflections behind cell; a black spot on cross-veins in ? ; red spot 

 as above, rather paler and larger. 



Length of forewing : c? ? , 22 to 26 mm.

 greenish blue gloss. 



Wings blue-black above, the 6 more blue than the ¥ ; forewing in S with 

 a metallic greenish blnii basal area from SO to hinder margin, tlie area 

 triangular, widest behind, reaching to two-thirds of hinder margin ; in ¥ a 

 slightly curved baud of the same colour from costal to hinder margin, reaching 

 the latter just before angle, incladiug the discocellulars, a tew blue scales at base
