Male. Upperside. Both wings black. Anterior wings with a curved row 

 of six white spots between the veins towards the apex, the first above the costal 

 nervure narrowly linear, the second and third the largest, the latter being con- 

 cave on its outer edge, the third and fifth smaller, the sixth the smallest ; the 

 apex beyond this row is dusted with a few grey scales, and there are rays of 

 grey scales in the cell. Posterior wings rather long and narrow, dentated, with 

 a large greenish-white patch across the disc, and the outer fourth of the cell, 

 that part which lies above the upper subcostal nervule not extending inwardly 

 towards the base, as in other species of this group ; the outer edge of the white 

 patch is emarginate and somewhat concave between the veins. Incisions in 

 both wings narrowly white. 



Underside. Anterior wings brown-black, with the curved row of spots 

 towards the apex as on the upperside, but larger, between which and the apex is 

 a series of rays of greyish-brown scales between the veins. Posterior wings 

 black, with a submarginal row of seven rufous brown spots, crossing the wings 

 from below the costa to the anal angle, the first, sixth, and seventh spots being 

 the largest ; inside the row of spots are a few patches of blue scales, those 

 towards the anal angle being the most conspicuous. White marks on the 

 incisions in the posterior wings, l)roader and more conspicuous than on the 

 upperside. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings dusky brownish-grey, dusted with brown 

 scales. Anterior wings crossed from the costa, a little beyond the middle to
