widens rapidly from the upper end of the patch to the sulimedian nemiles, where 

 the patch is widest, thence becoming rather nan-ower and rounded at its lower end. 

 Posterior wings with a narrow submarginal white line. 



Underside : both wings olivaceous greenish brown, with the white patch as on 

 the upperside, but extending to the submediau nervure ; the space below tliat nervure 

 to the inner margin is white. Posterior wings crossed in the middle from the costal 

 margin to the submediau nervure by a rather broad white band, the lower end of 

 which is dusted with metallic golden green scales, which are continued to the inner 

 margin in a V-shaped band ; the white band is followed by an olivaceous tawny space, 

 edged externally by an irregular band of metallic green, which curves inwardly 

 between the upper median and second subcostal nervules, thence curving outwardly to 

 a little before the apex ; this band at its lower end forms two V-^liaped markings and 

 a straight band above the anal angle ; the l)and of metallic green is bordered out- 

 wardly throughout by a series of black spots between the veins, those between the 

 subcostal nervules and between the two lowest median uervules being large, the 

 others much smaller ; outside this band to the outer margin the wings are pinkish 

 grey, mottled with numerous black streaks and minute spots ; there is a black spot at 

 the anal angle. 



What I take to be the female does not appear to differ from the male, which has 

 no sex mark, in this respect resembling U. viola Moore and H. albimacida Wood- 

 Mas. & Nic^v.

Male. — Upperside scarcely distinguishable from 8. r/rotei Moore, but rather 

 darker purple, and the purple area on the anterior wings more restricted and better 

 d efined. 



Underside : anterior wings differ from S. grotei in having a dark spot edged on 

 both sides with white across the middle of the cell, and the outer row of spots across 

 the disc is broader and darker. On the posterior wings the spot above the subcostal 

 nervure near the base is paler, and the two spots in the cell of S. grotei are repre- 

 sented by one spot ; the small spot below the cell of S. grotei is absent. The white 

 lines which border the spots on both wings are wider tlian in S. grotei. 



Female. — Upperside. both wings brown, slightly suffused with golden bronze; a 

 diffused pale brown patch in the middle of the anterioi wings. 



Underside : as in the male, but paler. 



Exjianse of wings : ma/«, 1 inch ; female, 1| inch.
