 pale purplish-blue. Hindwina; with indistinct submarginal black spots. [There is a conspi- 

 cuous tuft of black hairs placed on the second median nervule from its origin at the median 

 nervure.] Underside deep ferruginous-brown. Forewing with a transverse paler band across 

 the discoidal cell, and another across the disc ; a submarginal row of [four] pale ocelli. 

 Hindiving with two transverse darker lines, and a submarginal series of six, and

 — This may possibly be only the female of the preceding species [Z. scanda]." (A/oore, 1. c.) 



Z. scanda is a rare insect, and we have never seen the female. The male is at once 

 distinguished from all the other species of the genus known to us by the upperside being 

 most beautifully glossed with indigo-blue. It has as yet only been found in Sikkim.
