36 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



General ground color of upper surface a dark mouse color with black 

 markings. Costa of fore wing of ground color. Hind margin without bor- 

 per, except a slight linear black line and a fringe of hairs. One-eighth inch 

 within margin is a semi-distinct black line extending from tip down to 

 inner margin, and another the same distance within this. The discoidal 

 space contains four distinct black transverse lines, the outer two join- 

 ing at top and bottom, forming an egg-shaped figure. From the lower 

 junction of these, a black line extends downwards at right angles to thecosta 

 to the submedian nervule. The inner two of these discoidal lines do not 

 join but each extends downwards to submedian nervule. There is a sugges- 

 tion of still another line nearer the base, extending also to the submedian 

 nervule. 



Upper surface of hind wing nearly duplicates that of fore wing. The hind 

 margin with its two inner lines and hairy fringe is the same. The inner line 

 forms a continuation of the line of fore wing which extends downwards from 

 the egg-shaped figure noted above. The outer line of the inner two lines 

 mentioned as crossing the discoidal space of fore wing, extends across the 

 wing from costa to anal angle, where it joins the two broader lines. Within 

 this, in discoidal space, are three lines and a suggestion of a fourth near the 

 joint. Inner margin of ground color, fringed with hairs. 



The under surface is brilliant, the outer half of both wings being sky blue 

 with a mother-of-pearl lustre. 



The costa of fore wing is mouse color with a linear dash of sky blue ex- 

 tending upwards from base. Hind margin is same as on upper surface except 

 that the slight hairy fringe shows whitish. The inner half of wing is blue- 

 black. The dividing line between the inner and outer half is broken at the 

 first median nervule, forming a jut. The discoidal space contains four sky 

 blue spots, the second and fourth from the base being very prominent. 

 Below the second one, above the submedian nervure, is another spot of the 

 same color. The space above inner margin is mouse color, somewhat suffus- 

 ing the blue-black of inner half of wing. 



Under surface of hind wing much the same. The border of hind margin 

 is same as on fore wing, but the first border line of the upper surface is 

 duplicated. The line separating the blue-black and sky blue is continuous, 

 extending from midway between apex and base to anal angle. The discoidal 

 space contains but two sky blue marks, which are duplicated in a less degree 

 in the space next below. The inner one is also duplicated similarly in the 

 space above the discoidal space. The sky blue of outer half of wing extends 

 upwards somewhat along inner margin and also suffuses the lower portion of 

 the blue-black ground. 



Described from three specimens in my collection from Coch- 

 abamba district, 1S99.
