  In

  Collection 
  of 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  Grose-Smitli. 
  

  

  Described 
  from 
  a 
  female 
  specimen. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  male 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  locality, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  

   too 
  much 
  rubbed 
  to 
  permit 
  of 
  a 
  satisfactory 
  description 
  ; 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  appear, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  

   seen, 
  to 
  differ 
  from 
  the 
  female, 
  except 
  that 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  less 
  rounded 
  and 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  

   on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  more 
  sharply 
  angulated 
  at 
  its 
  upper 
  end. 
  

  

  Nearest 
  to 
  Ps. 
  Dams, 
  Felder, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  lunules 
  on 
  the 
  

   upperside 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  of 
  that 
  species, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  in 
  the 
  deeper 
  and 
  brighter 
  

   colouring 
  of 
  the 
  lunules 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings, 
  and 
  otherwise 
  as 
  before 
  mentioned. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  

   smaller 
  species.

  Male. 
  Upperside 
  rich 
  purplish-blue, 
  with 
  moderately 
  broad 
  black 
  borders. 
  

   Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  white 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  costa 
  before 
  the 
  apex, 
  extending 
  

   from 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  fork 
  of 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  (the 
  lower 
  branch 
  of 
  which 
  

   bounds 
  it 
  below) 
  to 
  half 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  the 
  fork 
  and 
  the 
  extremity. 
  On 
  

   the 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  pale 
  blue 
  arches, 
  resting 
  on 
  straight 
  

   or 
  slightly 
  curved 
  bases, 
  and 
  filled 
  up 
  with 
  black. 
  The 
  first 
  and 
  last 
  are 
  

   indistinct, 
  and 
  the 
  last 
  but 
  one 
  has 
  a 
  depression 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  thus 
  forming 
  a 
  

   double 
  arch 
  above. 
  Outside 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  rows 
  of 
  pale 
  bluish-white 
  streaks 
  

   between 
  the 
  nervules, 
  the 
  last 
  terminal. 
  Inner 
  margin 
  pale 
  bluish-grey 
  ; 
  a 
  long 
  

   black 
  white-tipped 
  tail 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervule. 
  

  

  Underside 
  white. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  rather 
  broadly 
  

   bordered 
  with 
  smoky-brown. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  six 
  submarginal 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  

   groimd-colour 
  between 
  the 
  nervures, 
  bordered 
  with 
  bluish-white 
  outlines, 
  nearly 
  

   straight 
  outwardly, 
  and 
  curved 
  and 
  zigzag 
  inwardly 
  ; 
  that 
  nearest 
  the 
  hinder 
  

   angle 
  is 
  double. 
  Between 
  these 
  and 
  the 
  short 
  grey 
  fringes 
  is 
  a 
  nearly 
  continuous 
  

   grey 
  line. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  of 
  a 
  duller 
  white 
  than 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings, 
  and 
  with 
  

   a 
  brown 
  border 
  everywhere 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  A 
  submarginal 
  

   row 
  of 
  whitish 
  semicircular 
  outlines 
  between 
  the 
  nervures, 
  specked 
  towards 
  the 
  

   anal 
  angle 
  with 
  blue, 
  and 
  filled 
  up 
  with 
  brown, 
  except 
  the 
  fifth, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  

   largest, 
  which 
  is 
  filled 
  up 
  with 
  black 
  ; 
  the 
  sixth 
  (that 
  above 
  the 
  submedian 
  

   nervure) 
  is 
  double, 
  and 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  contiguous 
  cone 
  and 
  square.
