with and beyond tlie rest, ilio upper two almost united, and tlio lower 

 two (between third and first median nervules) a little apart ; costa 

 yellow-ochreous at and near base, with a reddish stain. Hind-iving : 

 blue occupies entire cellular and discal area, being bounded superiorly 

 by subcostal nervuro and its second nervulo, inferiorly by submedian 

 nervure, and externally by a hind-marginal border rapidly narrowing 

 inferiorly ; lower part of hind-marginal border traversed by an ill- 

 defined ochre-red streak widening on anal-angular projection. Under- 

 side : didl, ixde ochirous-i/eUoir, with numerous {^mostly large) siliiery- 

 white spots, distinctly outlined 'with hlaek, and further less regularly edged 

 ivith ferruginous. Fore-iving : the following silvery markings, viz., 

 along costal border and superiorly touching its edge, a moderate-sized 

 longitudinally ovate spot close to base, — two large transversely-lying 

 spots (or short bands), one crossing discoidal cell, the other just beyond 

 its extremity, — a smaller and shorter but similarly-shaped spot beyond 

 that last named, and a still smaller one just before apex ; two sub- 

 marginal spots, one small and round, between lower radial and third 

 median nervules, the other large and elongate on the median nervules ; 

 another spot (the smallest on tho wing) in discoidal cell below and 

 slightly beyond basal spot on costa; between first median nervule and 

 submedian nervure, a very large superiorly arched and black-edged 

 but inferiorly and interiorly ill-defined white patch, slightly silvery in 

 its upper part ; traces of a ferruginous line very near and parallel to 

 hind-margin, which is narrowly edged with black. Hiyid-iving : the 

 following silvery spots, viz., at base, one in size and shape like that 

 in fore-wing, but placed transversely ; before middle, a transverse row 

 of four, of which the first is large and very round, between costal and 

 subcostal nervures, — the second in discoidal cell, also rounded, but very 

 much smaller, — the third very small, and with the fourth (smaller, 

 ({uadrate, and further fVom base) situate on inner margin ; and about 

 and beyond middle an irregular series of four very large differently- 

 shaped spots (the central one, just at extremity of cell, the largest and 

 roundest, and the lowest, on inner margin, very elongate and crossed 

 by a black line), and two very small ones, situate respectively below 

 upper and middle large spots ; two very small similar spots respectively 

 at the beginning and end of a submarginal ferruginous streak ; a 

 blackish spot on anal-angular projection ; hind-margin narrowly edged 

 with black. 



Head reddish -brown ; a conspicuous white spot on vortex and two 

 smaller ones in front ; palpi wdiito with black tips ; antenna) dark 

 reddish-brown with cream-coloured tips ; eyes narrowly edged with 

 white ; thorax brown beneath, spotted with white ; legs reddish -brown, 

 barred here and with white, and with tufts of white hair on coxre ; 

 abdomen black, with white segmental stripes on tho sides and beneath. 

 (Described from a single s]")ecimen in worn condition, in which the 

 tails and part of tho anal-angular lobe of Ihe hind-wings are wanting.)
