  J/fl/c. 
  Upperside 
  resembles 
  L. 
  Eucliylas, 
  Hlibner, 
  but 
  the 
  greyish-brown 
  

   spots 
  within 
  the 
  black 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  narrower. 
  

  

  Underside 
  also 
  resembles 
  L. 
  Euchylas, 
  but 
  the 
  dark 
  areas 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  

   are 
  blackish 
  grey, 
  instead 
  of 
  brown. 
  On 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  dark 
  band 
  

   along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  is 
  broader, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  velvety-black 
  

   spots 
  which 
  cross 
  the 
  disc 
  before 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  are 
  crowned 
  internally 
  with 
  

   narrow 
  shining 
  light 
  blue 
  lunules, 
  which 
  extend 
  partially 
  down 
  the 
  veins 
  

   between 
  the 
  spots 
  ; 
  the 
  black 
  spots 
  are 
  crossed 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  by 
  narrow 
  

   darker 
  blue 
  lunules, 
  except 
  the 
  spot 
  which 
  is 
  situate 
  between 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  

   nervule 
  and 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervure, 
  which 
  is 
  bordered 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  along 
  the 
  

   veins 
  by 
  a 
  metallic 
  blue 
  streak. 
  In 
  L.Eitclujlas 
  the 
  internal 
  lunules 
  are 
  whitish, 
  

   and 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  of 
  which 
  there 
  are 
  only 
  two 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  

   are 
  greyish-white, 
  the 
  other 
  external 
  lunules 
  of 
  L. 
  Eckctus 
  being 
  replaced 
  by 
  

   metallic 
  blue 
  vertical 
  streaks. 
  The 
  dark 
  basal 
  band 
  is 
  broader 
  than 
  in 
  

   L. 
  Euchylas. 
  

  

  Head

  with 
  white 
  orbits,

  Female. 
  Upperside. 
  Eesembles 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  L. 
  Euchylas, 
  but 
  is 
  nearly 
  

   black, 
  with 
  white 
  spaces 
  as 
  in 
  L. 
  Euchylas, 
  which, 
  however, 
  are 
  more 
  

   restricted. 
  

  

  Underside 
  with 
  similar 
  differences, 
  the 
  blue 
  lunules 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  

   being 
  very 
  conspicuous. 
  The 
  wings 
  of 
  both 
  sexes 
  are 
  rather 
  more 
  elongate 
  

   than 
  in 
  L. 
  Euchylas.

  In 
  the 
  markings 
  on 
  the 
  Underside 
  this 
  species 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  L. 
  Alcas 
  and 
  L. 
  Aleuas, 
  

   Felder, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  of 
  L. 
  Eclectus 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  lines 
  and 
  markings 
  are 
  blue, 
  and 
  on 
  

   the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  of 
  L. 
  Eclectus 
  the 
  blue 
  lunules 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  conspicuous. 
  On 
  the 
  

   Upperside 
  both 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Felder's 
  species 
  are 
  more 
  azure-blue, 
  and 
  their 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  without 
  

   the 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  spots.
