the apex, where it is very broadly blackish ; posterior margin broadly black, de- 

 creasing towards the anal angle ; secondaries, costa and posterior margin broadly 

 dark grey, the latter being slightly sprinkled with bluish dustings ; abdominal fold 

 pale greyish ; tail brown, of moderate length, tipped with white. Under-side : both 

 wings chocolate-brown, the spots are almost of the colour of the ground surface, 

 being patterned-out more or less finely with white ; primaries with a large basal cell 

 spot, followed by a very large one all across the cell, which is confluent with the 

 third still larger and very irregular spot closing the cell ; between both the second 

 and third spots and the costa are one or two small spots, all these spots have broad 

 whitish margins, which do not extend round the upper edge, beneath the third is a 

 largish spot in the lower median angle ; the transverse catenulated band is very 

 irregular, composed of six or seven spots, the first on the costa very small, the second 

 shifted far out, the third inwards, the fourth slightly outwards, the fifth a large spot 

 well inwards, the sixth well outwards as to its inner margin, but the outer margin is 

 confluent with that of the fifth spot, but has an outward inclination, below this is a 

 small detached spot (sometimes absent) ; submarginal row present, fairly distinct, 

 but ill defined ; subdiscal area dark ; submedian and median area and spaces between 

 the cell spots pale gi'eyish ; the costal and apical areas have a purplish tint ; secondaries 

 with a broad tapering costal streak of dark brown, beneath which is a trace of a 

 greyish dusted narrow streak, rather ill defined and indistinct, except just in the 

 cell ; at the extreme basal tip of the costa is a dark spot, four rather indistinct basal 

 spots, second and third quite small, the third largish and rather indistinct, followed 

 by three, the central of which is across the centre of the cell, whilst the third one 

 below it is large, irregular, very finely margined with whitish and shifted well 

 outwards ; in the subcostal angle is a small dark spot, whose outer lower edge 

 touches the long irregular spot closing the cell, below which is a largish spot in the 

 lower median angle ; transverse band irregular, composed of eight spots, the first 

 indistinct, second distinct and shifted outwards, third further out, and fourth still 

 further outwards, but with an inward inclination, fifth well inwards, sixth outwards, 

 seventh angular spot right inwards, completely detached, and touching the eighth 

 spot; submarginal row indistinct ; the anal area is sparingly dusted over a con- 

 siderable space with metallic-blue scales ; in the interspace beyond the tail is a very 

 large black marginal spot and a small one at the extreme angle, between which there 

 is a slight indication of another. Expanse, 48 — 50 mm. 



? exactly like the $ in every respect, except that the blue of the upper surface 

 is very slightly less in its extent. Expanse, 48 — 50 ram. 



Hah. : Perak (Guuong Ijan). 



This species is very close to suhfasciata, Moore, but it can be 

 readily recognised by the different colour of the blue, which is not at 

 all silvery like Moore's species, the blue is also of less extent, and it 

 is a more robust looking insect. On the under-side it is more uniform 

 in tone, lacks the light distinct irroration in both wings, and markedly 

 lacks the broad, very distinct, creamy stripe extending from the base 

 to the apex of the secondaries. 



It will come next to suhfasciata, I\Ioore.
