  Female. 
  Uppeeside 
  brown, 
  anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  pale 
  blue 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  three-fourths 
  of 
  their 
  length, 
  from 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  to 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  the 
  disc 
  below 
  and 
  beyond 
  ; 
  posterior 
  wings 
  pale 
  blue 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  middle, 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  the 
  submarginal 
  nervure. 
  

   It 
  resembles 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  H. 
  Thesaurus 
  Grose 
  Smith 
  and 
  H. 
  Protorjcnes 
  Felder, 
  

   but 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  former 
  in 
  the 
  blue 
  area 
  being 
  more 
  restricted, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  

   latter 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  wings, 
  which 
  are 
  more 
  rounded. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  darker 
  than 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  above-mentioned 
  species, 
  

   anterior 
  wings 
  more 
  extensively 
  irroratcd 
  with 
  grey 
  scales 
  in 
  the 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  

   disc, 
  in 
  which 
  is 
  situate 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  fulvous 
  lunules, 
  which 
  in 
  H. 
  Protogcncs 
  are 
  

   situated 
  nearer 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  and 
  extend 
  to 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  in 
  a 
  line 
  

   parallel 
  with 
  it. 
  In 
  H. 
  Frctiosus 
  these 
  lunules 
  towards 
  the 
  apes 
  curve 
  inwardly, 
  

   and 
  do 
  not 
  extend 
  beyond 
  the 
  upper 
  discoidal 
  nervule, 
  the 
  fulvous 
  band 
  in 
  the 
  

   cell 
  is 
  darker, 
  and 
  beyond 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  dark 
  bar, 
  the 
  metallic 
  

   spots 
  in 
  the 
  submarginal 
  row 
  are 
  larger, 
  tipped 
  internally 
  with 
  black 
  spots 
  with 
  

   fulvous 
  lines 
  beyond, 
  those 
  between 
  the 
  median 
  nervules 
  being 
  nnich 
  the 
  largest. 
  

   Oil 
  the 
  [)osterior 
  wings 
  the 
  bars 
  across 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  bright 
  ochraccous, 
  instead 
  

   of 
  brick-red 
  as 
  in 
  H. 
  Protogenes, 
  the 
  metallic 
  lines 
  and 
  spots 
  are 
  much 
  w'ider, 
  

   the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  ochraceous 
  bars 
  which 
  cross 
  the 
  cell 
  

   being 
  entirely 
  metallic 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  are 
  two 
  very 
  conspicuous 
  black 
  

   bars.
