Cilia white. Hindiviiuj grey, with discocellular spot and curved 

 discal band as in forewing, a small black subbasal spot in cell, 

 above which near costa is another; a third near costa at middle, 

 two black spots near anal angle, sprinkled with metallic green 

 and crowned with orange, outer marginal double band as in fore- 

 wing. Cilia white. 



9. 13-16 mm. (15). Upperside. — Forewing light brown, 

 with darker discocellular spot, centrobasal area pale blue, extend- 

 ing half into and beyond cell, and to inner margin; near angle 

 sometimes a faint trace of a light submarginal band. Cilia white, 

 Hindwimj light brown, with centrobasal area of variable pale 

 blue, outer margin with five white circles enclosing darker colour, 

 the two nearest anal angle being black crowned with orange, 

 sometimes a discal seriespf interneural white wedge-shaped spots. 

 Cilia white.

Foreiving with costa, outer and inner margins nearly straight, 

 apex acute in $, outer margin convex, apex blunt in 9. Costal 

 nervure ending on costa about end of cell, entirely free from 1st 

 subcostal; subcostal nervure three-branched, upper discoidal 

 emitted from subcostal some distance after end of cell. Birid- 

 ruing in type species rounded in both sexes, in the others drawn out 

 to a blunt tail in ^ only. Type L. lucanus, Fabr. 



8wainson described this originally as a subgenus to include L. 

 limbaria (■= L. lucanus) only. Westwood extended the genus, 

 including L. epius, Westw., since made the type of Spalgis by 

 Moore, a genus which Miskin sinks under Lucia; but from an 

 examination of the type species, -S*. epiiis from Ceylon, I can trace 

 no generic reseml^lance to Lucia. Of the species I i-efer here, 

 L. pyrodiscus was so placed by Rosenstock; but L. aurifer was
