 Godm. & Salv.). — Siam (coll. Hewits.). 



A female specimen, captured by Dr. Townsend in Perak, is here figured, and is the

Male. Wnigs above dark violaceous-blue ; costal and outer margins narrowly darker. Anterior 

 wings beneath pale castaueous with an ochraceous tinge, and with the following dark castaneous spots 

 and fasciffi narrowly margined with greyish : — a spot crossing cell near centre (the basal portion of cell 

 is also dark castaneous), a short broad fascia at end of cell joined to a spot beneath cell and terminating 

 at lower median nervule : this is followed at a short distance by another fascia commencing nearer costa 

 and terminating in a spot between the second and third median nervules, and an outer marginal fascia, 

 becoming obsolete towards outer angle ; between these fascia;, but particuhirly at apex of wing, there is a 

 strongly developed steely-blue tinge. Posterior wings beneath dark castaneous, with the following spots 

 and fasciiE margined with steely-blue lines ; a looped costal spot near base and terminating near subcostal 

 nervure : this is connected with three discal fascite, which are also more or less fused at the extreme 

 margins, and the uppermost of which is dislocated at the median nervure, and the lowermost is narrowest 

 and strongly tinged on each side on lower half of wing with steely blue ; a small black marginal spot with 

 some metallic greenish scales between the second and third median nervules, and another near anal 

 angle. Body above and beneath, with legs, more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Wings above paler in hue than those of the male, and with the margins (especially at apex 

 of anterior wings) broadly dark fuscous. Wings beneath as in male.

* These figm-es do uot at all agree with the one here given, and I could not have believed that 1 possessed the species 

 had I not carefnUy compared my specimens witli Hewitson's type. There can be no doubt that in the Eastern LrjcajiiJa- 

 Hewitson's figures are, in several cases, in direct antithesis to his typical specimens, which being now contained in the 

 National Collection, must be accepted as decisive.
