 ^ Fale lilacine-hlue, ivitli hroad fuscous-grcy viargins ; Mnd-ioi7ig 

 ivith a short, hlacJc, vjhite-tijjped tail on first median nervide ; cilia 

 greyish, inclining to whitish in ;parts. Fore-tving : grey border com- 

 mences narrowly on costa beyond middle, becomes very broad apically, 

 and gradually narrows along hind-margin to posterior angle. Ilind- 

 wing : grey border broad costally and apically, bounded inferiorly by 

 subcostal nervure and its second nervule ; below the latter it is hind- 

 marginally very narrow, and below radial or third median nervule is 

 represented by small separate spots, of which that between first and 

 second median nervules is larger than the rest, and black ; imme- 

 diately beyond these spots a thin white line, succeeded by a blackish 

 one along hind-marginal edge ; immediately before spots a conspicuous, 

 irregular, lunulated, bright-orange band, lying between third (or some- 

 times second) median nervule and submedian nervure, — rarely reduced 

 to two or three separate lunules adjoining largest spot and spots next 

 anal angle. Under side. — Whitish-grey, the 'pattern and markings 

 like those of Cissus, Godt., with the exceptions noted below. Fore-wing : 

 no ocellus in discoidal cell ; terminal disco-cellular streak thinner, 

 much more faint ; in discal row of spots the two between upper radial 

 and third median nervules not so far beyond the rest, and the lower 

 spots only a little larger than the others ; submarginal markings 

 fainter (especially the white ones) and straighter. Hind-wing : in 

 discal row all the spots well marked, and the sixth and eighth more 

 displaced outwardly ; orange baud usually not so much developed, but 

 in some specimens much more so, extending brokenly to near apex ; 

 largest hind-marginal black spot, and smaller one below it, outwardly 

 edafed with t>'reenish-silverv.
