  of 
  a 
  darker 
  azure- 
  

   blue, 
  and 
  the

  rather 
  less 
  oblique 
  and 
  narrower 
  

   at 
  its 
  base 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wiugs 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  is 
  rather 
  more 
  extended.

   which 
  in

  is 
  bordered 
  by 
  a 
  narrow 
  white 
  line, 
  is 
  scarcely 
  visible 
  ; 
  the 
  

   spot 
  beyond, 
  nearer 
  the

  is 
  more 
  oblique, 
  the 
  submarginal 
  white 
  line 
  of 
  

   L. 
  Eclectus 
  is 
  obsolete, 
  and 
  the

  wings 
  the 
  submarginal 
  white 
  line 
  of
