$ Pale rather dull violaceons-Mue ivith a slight |;m/as^ tinge ; a 

 oiarroio hind-marginal fuscous edging, linear in hind-iving ; cilia 

 fusco^is-grcy ivith white tijjs, — between extremities of second median 

 nervide and suhmedian nervure of hind-wing also ujhitish cd origin. 

 Fore-tving : a slender, sublunulate, terminal disco-cellnlar striola ; costa 

 very narrowly edged with fuscous, slightly radiating on subcostal 

 nervules. Hind-wing : costa bordered with fuscous-grey above first 

 subcostal uervule; between first and second subcostal nervules, a 

 hind-marginal fuscous mark, sometimes succeeded inferiorly by very 

 indistinct traces of a hind-marginal series of similar marks j the spot 

 between first and second median nervules small, rounded, well-defined, 

 black, bordered inwardly by a broad orange-yellow lunule ; tail on first 

 median nervule rather short, black, white-tipped. Under side. — 

 Almost the same as in Parsimon, but the ground-colour usually darker ; 

 the terminal disco- cellular lunule (in both loings) more or less angulatcd 

 outwardly ; and the discal row narrower, more macular, and not so close 

 to the inner (sagittiform) sidjmarginal lunules. Hind-wing : only three 

 spots in suh-hascd row, — the spot which in Parsimon lies between median 

 and submedian nervures being absent ; these spots, as well as those at 

 beo-inning and end of discal row, always very distinctly marked, but 

 smaller than in Parsimon. 



$ Bather broadly bordered cosially and hind-mar ginally with da,rh 

 broivnish-grey, the discal area in both wings being paler and very luidely 

 shot from bases with bright lilac-blue inclining to a jnnJc tinge ; markings 

 almost the same as in Parsimon $. Fore-wing : terminal disco-cellular 

 marking very broad, more so than in Parsimon, and more or less 

 angulated both inwardly and outwardly. Hind-wing : blue suffusion
