  (lark 
  brown. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  two- 
  

   thirds 
  of 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  below 
  it 
  tilled 
  up 
  with 
  silvery 
  blue. 
  Posterior 
  

   wings 
  tilled 
  up 
  with 
  silvery 
  blue 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  between 
  the 
  subcostal 
  and 
  sub- 
  

   median 
  nervurcs 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  extremity, 
  a 
  black 
  line 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  fringes, 
  

   edged 
  within 
  towards 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  with 
  orange-tawny. 
  

  

  Underside 
  greyish-orange, 
  paler 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings. 
  

   Below 
  the 
  costal 
  line, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  the 
  wing 
  is 
  traversed 
  by 
  

   two 
  coppery-green 
  lines 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  one 
  below 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure, 
  ceasing 
  

   at 
  one-third 
  of 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  and 
  continued 
  beyond 
  by 
  some 
  irregular 
  

   spots 
  ; 
  the 
  other 
  in 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  narrowly 
  edged 
  above 
  with 
  black, 
  and 
  ends 
  in 
  a 
  

   curve 
  ; 
  at 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  its 
  length 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  deep 
  loop 
  downwards, 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  

   median 
  nervure, 
  the 
  loop 
  being 
  filled 
  up 
  with 
  black. 
  The 
  disc 
  is 
  crossed 
  by 
  an 
  

   orange-red 
  band, 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  second 
  subcostal 
  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  submedian 
  

   nervure, 
  imperfectly 
  interrupted 
  on 
  the 
  nervures, 
  and 
  edged 
  with 
  narrow 
  black, 
  

   and 
  light 
  metallic 
  lines 
  ; 
  the 
  lowest 
  part 
  is 
  narrower, 
  semi-detached, 
  and 
  edged 
  

   with 
  black 
  only. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  marginal 
  orange-red 
  band, 
  composed 
  of 
  spots, 
  

   between 
  the 
  nervures, 
  and 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  rows 
  by 
  a 
  light 
  metallic 
  line. 
  These 
  

   markings 
  likewise 
  cease 
  at 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure 
  ; 
  the 
  two 
  lowest 
  spots 
  of 
  

   the 
  innermost 
  series 
  are 
  bordered 
  by 
  a 
  black 
  line 
  on 
  the 
  inside 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  outer 
  

   row 
  is 
  bordered 
  outside 
  by 
  a 
  continuous 
  black 
  line 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  light 
  brown 
  

   or 
  greyish 
  fringes. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  light 
  greyish-brown, 
  crossed 
  by 
  seven 
  bands 
  

   of 
  reddish-orange, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  interrupted 
  or 
  divided 
  into 
  spots 
  by 
  the 
  nervures, 
  

   the 
  middle 
  ones 
  being 
  narrowly 
  edged 
  with 
  black 
  and 
  light 
  coppery-green 
  

   metallic 
  lines. 
  The 
  first 
  band 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  costa 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  runs 
  near 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  consists 
  of 
  two 
  long 
  spots 
  between 
  the 
  costal 
  

   and 
  submedian 
  nervures 
  ; 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  nearly 
  united 
  by 
  a 
  branch 
  

   to 
  the 
  fourth, 
  which 
  extends 
  from 
  below 
  the 
  fork 
  of 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  to 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin, 
  along 
  which 
  a 
  line 
  runs 
  connecting 
  this 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  outer 
  bands. 
  

   The 
  fifth 
  consists 
  of 
  three 
  elongate 
  spots, 
  the 
  first 
  spot 
  costal, 
  separated 
  from 
  

   the 
  second 
  by 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervules 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  sjjot 
  

   almost 
  divided 
  by 
  a 
  constriction 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  spot 
  distinctly 
  

   divided, 
  and 
  more 
  outwards, 
  forming 
  the 
  common 
  termination 
  of 
  the 
  fifth 
  and 
  

   sixth 
  band 
  ; 
  the 
  latter 
  extends 
  from 
  the 
  upper 
  subcostal 
  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  lowest 
  

   median 
  nervule. 
  The 
  submarginal 
  and 
  marginal 
  markings, 
  which 
  include 
  the
