Mdlr. Upperside rich brown, shading into black on the apical half of 

 the fore wings ; anterior wings with a white spot at the tip, and an oblique 

 orange-yellow band extending across the wing at two-thirds of its length, and 

 almost touching both the costa and the hind margin ; posterior wings with tlie 

 fringes white towards the tip, and with a purple shade just before the anal 

 angle. 



Underside i)ale silvery l)lue, fore wings with a white spot at the tip, and 

 the oblique yellow stripe replaced by a white one, which is edged within by a 

 l)lack line ; the cell with one black spot at the base and two in the middle, and 

 its extremity marked with a thick irregular black line ; inner margin azure-blue. 

 Posterior wings with the cell marked as on the anterior wings ; a white 

 band indistinctly edged within with black runs from the middle of the costa as 

 far as the median ncrvure beyond the cell ; a whitish stripe runs along the fold 

 parallel to the inner margin. 



Orbits, and two sjiots behind the antennae white, palpi, front legs, and 

 middle of body beneath yellow, legs black above, the femora white beneath, 

 and the tibiae and tarsi ochreous beneath. 



Female. Very like the male, but with a blue spot on the inner margin of 

 the anterior wings before the hinder angle, surmounted by a small blue dot ; 

 there is no blue towards the anal angle of tlie posterior wings. Under surface 

 almost identical, the white markings a little paler, and the black line at the end 

 of the cell of the anterior wings less marked ; a double obsolete row of sub- 

 marginal white spots running round all the wings, is a little more distinct than 

 in the male ; between these runs a row of obsolete spots a little darker than the 

 rest of the wing.
