second and third round, in cell; fourth round, below cell; an 

 elongate spot at end of cell, below which is a round spot; a discal 

 curved series of narrow spots, a submarginal interneural series of 

 orange spots; more or less outwardl}' bordered with metallic 

 green, a large black spot at termination of first median, a smaller 

 spot at termination of submedian. Cilia white. 



9. 14-18 mm. (17). Outer margin of forewing not nearly so- 

 straight as in 9. Outer margin of hindwing much rounder. 



U p p e r s i d e pale blue, centrobasal areas with very l)road 

 brown costal and outer margins, pale brown abdominal margin, 

 nervules of both wings marked in brown. Cilia white. 



Under sid e. — Foreiving grey, spots as in $ with the addi- 

 tion of a small brown spot in cell towards its end; submarginal 

 series sometimes orange, sometimes faintly bordered outwardly 

 with metallic green. Cilia white. Hindtving as in ^J, with sub- 

 marginal orange series better developed, also more metallic scales,, 

 dark terminations to all the median nervules. 



This magnificent insect nearly equals the metallic blue Ogyri,^ 

 in splendour. It appears to vary very much in size but very little 

 in colour; and I have seen some splendid specimens bred by Mr. 

 F. P. Dodd at Townsville.

 nearly obsolete. Cilia short, brownish. Hindwing glossy black,. 

 with a narrow interneural whitish line on outer margin and two- 

 large jet black spots crowned with bluish. Cilia white. 



Underside. — Forewing silvery grey, marked with darker 

 brown spots, first in cell subbasal, another below this external to 

 cell, one elongate in middle of cell, an elongated spot outside 

 cell below this, one large marking end of cell, below which is 

 another; a rather broad discal series from costa to submedian, a
