  with 
  the

  mouse-colour, 
  bordered

   this 
  is 
  an 
  oblique 
  white 
  band, 
  extending 
  along 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  the 
  outer 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  wing 
  is 
  black, 
  with 
  a 
  brilliant 
  metallic 
  blue 
  patch 
  which 
  covers 
  the 
  space 
  

   between 
  the 
  upper 
  median 
  nervule 
  and 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure, 
  the 
  nervures 
  

   crossing 
  the 
  blue 
  patch 
  are 
  black

  the

  nervure 
  itself 
  has 
  a

  blue 
  

   line 
  beneath. 
  

  

  The 
  upperside 
  resembles 
  //. 
  Herdonius, 
  Hew., 
  but 
  differs 
  as 
  under 
  : 
  — 
  On 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  central 
  space 
  is 
  narrower, 
  and 
  more 
  restricted, 
  and 
  the 
  

   iridescent 
  blue 
  bauds 
  in 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  and 
  inner 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  central 
  

   white 
  space 
  are 
  broader. 
  On 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  basal 
  space 
  is 
  also 
  

   more 
  restricted, 
  and 
  the 
  iridescent 
  blue 
  patch 
  which 
  extends 
  over 
  the 
  disc 
  from 
  

   the 
  discoidal 
  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure 
  is 
  divided 
  only 
  by 
  the 
  black 
  

   ner\iires. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings

  from

  are 
  velvety 
  black, 
  the 
  costal 
  region, 
  apex,

  outer 
  margins 
  are 
  cinereous 
  

   black, 
  the 
  black 
  outer 
  marginal

  grey 
  

   towards

  in 
  

   the

  is 
  broadly 
  bordered
