  Female. 
  Upperside 
  closely 
  resembles 
  H. 
  CJirijsonotits, 
  but 
  paler 
  and 
  more 
  

   silvery 
  blue 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  disco-cellular 
  nervules 
  are 
  conspicu- 
  

   ously 
  marked 
  by 
  brownish-black. 
  

  

  Underside 
  paler 
  than 
  in 
  H. 
  Chnjsonotits, 
  the 
  spots 
  and 
  bands 
  are 
  more 
  

   orange-ochreous, 
  and 
  the 
  metallic 
  lines 
  and 
  spots 
  are 
  yellow-golden 
  instead 
  of 
  

   blue-golden. 
  On 
  the

  wings 
  the 
  transverse 
  orange-ochreous 
  band 
  of 
  

   spots 
  crossing 
  the 
  disc 
  is 
  dislocated 
  between 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervule

   submedian 
  nervure, 
  the 
  spot 
  in 
  that 
  position 
  being 
  situated 
  further 
  from

  The 
  markings 
  on

  inside 
  the 
  discal

  of
