  Upperside

  Underside. 
  Eufous-orange. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  mostly 
  grey 
  below 
  the 
  cell, 
  

   and 
  the 
  median 
  nervure, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  

   two 
  lower 
  median 
  nervules 
  ; 
  the 
  space 
  below 
  is 
  entirely 
  gi"ey, 
  except 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  

   the 
  submediau 
  nervure, 
  where 
  the 
  rufous-orange 
  descends 
  narrowly 
  on 
  the 
  hind 
  

   margin. 
  The 
  costa 
  is 
  also 
  partly 
  edged 
  with 
  grey. 
  There 
  are 
  two 
  pale 
  silvery- 
  

   blue 
  streaks 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  uppermost 
  extends 
  along 
  the 
  submedian 
  

   nervure 
  for 
  nearly 
  half 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  w4ng. 
  There 
  are 
  three 
  small 
  silvery- 
  

   blue 
  subcostal 
  spots 
  between 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  subcostal 
  nervules. 
  The 
  

   second 
  basal 
  stripe 
  runs 
  through 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  dips 
  doAvnwards 
  at 
  

   two-thirds 
  of 
  its 
  length, 
  and 
  then 
  curves 
  suddenly 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   two 
  upper 
  median 
  nervules. 
  Beyond 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic 
  bar 
  closing 
  the 
  

   cell, 
  and 
  beyond 
  and 
  above 
  this 
  are 
  two 
  rather 
  large 
  metallic 
  spots, 
  close 
  

   together, 
  the 
  outermost 
  being 
  below 
  the 
  second 
  subcostal 
  spot, 
  and 
  edged 
  

   within, 
  like 
  it, 
  with 
  black. 
  Beyond 
  these 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  four 
  irregularly-arranged 
  

   metallic 
  spots 
  ruaning 
  obliquely 
  inwards 
  ; 
  the 
  first 
  subcostal 
  and 
  oblong, 
  

   narrowly 
  bordered 
  with 
  black 
  outside, 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  nearly 
  square, 
  close 
  

   together, 
  the 
  lower 
  inner 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  only 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  

   outer 
  upper 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  by 
  the 
  second 
  discoidal 
  nervule 
  ; 
  the 
  fourth 
  also 
  

   square, 
  much 
  nearer 
  the 
  base, 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  upper 
  median 
  nervules. 
  There 
  

   is 
  also 
  a 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  five 
  metallic 
  spots, 
  each 
  intersected 
  by 
  a 
  small 
  

   black 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  its 
  inner 
  side. 
  There 
  are 
  traces 
  of 
  a 
  sixth 
  metallic 
  

   spot 
  at 
  the 
  commencement 
  of 
  the 
  grey 
  space 
  below 
  the 
  others.
