both wings crossed by a narrow discal line, a similar submarginal line, the hindwing with the 
two usual anal and subanal black spots. It has a very wide range.

DESCRIPTION: MALE. ‘‘ UPPERSIDE, forewing black with a bluish base. Aindwing 
light blue and silvery, with an oblong abbreviated black patch at the outer apical angle, and 
two circular distant subocellate black spots in the anal region. UNDERSIDE, forewing with 
the greatest portion of the surface testaceous-brown, separated by an oblique boundary from 
the bluish base; surface marked with a short double litura on the disc, a distinct abbreviated 
medial and a very faint almost complete posterior band, all these marks having a more 
saturated brown tint than the ground. Aixdwing pale blue, with a whitish lustre, bearing 
near the base, in contact with the costa, a very distinct black dot enclosed in a faint white 
ring; then, behind the disc, a very delicate striga of interrupted ferruginous lineolz, followed 
in the anal region by an irregularly-flexuose black line passing obliquely to the inner margin ;. 
posterior margin marked with a double series consisting of two parallel ferruginous strigz, 
clouded and diffuse at the outer apical angle, attenuated towards the middle of the wing, the 
interior of these strigee terminating by a distinct oblong dot between the ocellate spots, the 
exterior bearing a small black dot at the middle of the margin, after which follow, in the 
same line, two very large intensely black round ocellate spots with an intermediate group of 
white irrorations, which are more thickly disposed and covered with a greenish silvery cast 
on a black wedge-shaped dash at the edge of the inner ocellus, having its point directed 
towards the disc. Body brown above, sparingly clothed with bluish hairs, whitish and downy 
underneath. Antenne brown, delicately annulated with white to the club, which is termi- 
nated by a ferruginous tip. Legs banded alternately white and black.” (orsfeld, 1. c.) 
FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, 60th wings dull smoky brown. Hindwing with the abdominal margin 
whitish, very hairy ; the outer margin bearing, from the third median nervule to the abdominal 
margin, a double series of somewhat quadrate white spots, followed on the margin by a small 
black dot in the second median interspace, a large intensely black rounded spot in the 
first median interspace, from thence to the anal angle irrorated with black scales, the anal 
lobe marked with an oval ochreous spot, a very fine black marginal thread from the anal angle 
to the discoidal nervule, inwardly defined with white. Two faz/s in both sexes, white 
throughout in the male, the one at the termination of the first median nervule long, faintly 
marked with blackish down its middle in the female, the one at the termination of the sub- 
median nervure about twice as long, more prominently marked with black, that colour 
disappearing towards the tip. UNDERSIDE, doth wings marked as in the male, but the ground- 
colour of the costaand anterior half of the /ovewing and at the apex of the 4indwing more 
ochreous than in the male. Cv/ia on the upperside of the forewing dull brown, on the under- 
side paler ; on the hindwing dull brown at the apex, from thence to anal angle pure white. 
LaRVA, green. hairy, depressed; head black, second and third segments increasing in 
size, marked with short red and black lines, the following segments of equal size, the three 
anal ones dorsally flattened and marked above with crimson. Pupa, of the usual lycanid
