 angle. Under-side : primaries same as above, excepting an indication of a brown 

 band beyond spot at end of cell, extending from the costal margin half-way between 

 the 2nd and 3rd median nervules, and a small spot in the cell close to the base. 

 Secondaries yellowish creamy-white, the posterior and anal margins with a black 

 fringe ; the anal angle ochre-yellow, containing two black spots encircled with silver 

 scales. A narrow black streak reaching from the anal margin to near the sub-median

<J . Above. Primaries black, with the basal third thickly sprinkled with bluish- 

 green scales, except along the costal margin, which is greyish, gradually merging 

 into the black beyond. Secondaries bluish-green, changing into blue towards the 

 anal angle, at whicli there is a black spot, the sub-median nervure being produced to 

 a long white tail, with a pale blue central line for half the length, also a pure white 

 projection on the third median nervule, the apex black, and the discoidal cell 

 clothed with a thick covering of glossy greyish scales. There is a quadrate black 

 spot between the 3rd median nervule and the sub-median nervure, between which 

 and a black margin there is a whitish patch. The black margin extending only 

 between the sub-median nervure and the third median nervule, and at the apex. A 

 white fringe commencing just above the second median nervule and gradually 

 deepening till it reaches the base of the long tail ; also a trace of a black spot 

 between the 2nd and 3rd median nervules. 



Under-side. Primaries ochre-yellow, deepening to brown-yellow at the apex 

 and along the posterior margin, with the exception of the inner margin, which is of 

 a glossy grey colour. Secondaries with the anterior half ochre-yellow, slightly 

 darker at the apex, the posterior half white with two sub-marginal rows of four 

 irregular black patches, the fourth, counting from the abdominal margin, the smallest
