$ Glossy broumish-hlack, with small transparent spots in fore-iving 

 and opaque yellotvish-tvhite ones in hind-tving. Forc-iving : in discoidal 

 cell, near extremity, two elongate spots, one above the other, the lower 

 rather the larger ; a strongly incurved discal row of five spots, of which 

 the first and second are together and subcostal, very small, between end 

 of cell and apex, — the third and fourth also very small between lower 

 radial and second median nervules ; and the fifth considerably larger, 

 quadrate or subquadrate between second and first median nervules, and 

 immediately beneath lower cellular spot ; besides these vitreous spots, 

 a small, rather elongate yellowish-white spot about middle, immediately 

 above submedian nervure ; from base to middle of inner margin a 

 yellowish- white edging, widening towards its extremity. Kind-wing : 

 rather darker than fore-wing, especially in basal half ; a curved discal 

 series of five small yellowish-white spots, between second subcostal 

 nervule and submedian nervure, — the first being the smallest and the 

 last the largest, and somewhat diffused. Cilia of fore-wing brown, 

 mixed with whitish at posterior angle ; of hind-wing, brown mixed 

 with whitish, but entirely white round anal-angular lobe. Uxder 

 SIDE. — Much pcder, dark-hroivn ivith a strong hronzy or ceneous gloss 

 {in hind-wing shifting to violaceous). Fore-wing : transparent spots 

 as on upper side ; yellowish-white spot just above submedian nervure 

 larger ; inner-marginal yellowish-white streak wanting, but a similar 

 streak along costa from base to about middle ; basal and inner- 

 marginal area darker and duller than rest of wing. Hind-uAng : an 

 ill-defined median whitish shade, more or less markedly exhibiting the 

 violaceous gloss, on the outer edge of which the small discal spots 

 corresponding to those of upper side are only just perceptible, except the 



1 In this figure the head is not large enough, the projection near anal angle of the hind- 

 wincs is too acute, and the pink stain on the under side of the hind-wings is too strong an 

 expression of the faint violaceous gloss in nature.
