Upper Side. Antennae black, with two small white spots at their bases, on the front of the head, and 

 two more close to the eyes, on the top of the head ; like^vise two on the neck, ai;id two longer ones on the 

 thorax. The thorax and abdomen of a very dark blueish hazel. Anterior wings, next the shoulders, 

 of a dark blueish hazel, black at the tips and outer margin, where are many different shaped flesh-coloured 

 spots : the parts nearest the shoulders having many denticulated marks and dashes of a blue colour ; some 

 being also scattered all over the wings. About a tliird from the shoulder, near the anterior margin, on 

 each wing, is a short, red, crooked line, which is seen on the under side. Near the outer margin are five 

 ash-coloured spots, all of them being encircled with black, and some being edged with blue. Posterior 

 wings of the same dark hazel as the anterior ; the external edges being black between the scollops. Each 

 wing is divided into a number of small different shaped spots margined with blue ; and near the external 

 margin are six black spots, whose irides are blue, having white ones in their centres. Below these is a 

 double row of blue marks, like beards of arrows, placed on the black marks between the scollops. All 

 the wings are dentated. 



Under Side. Anterior wings whitish, about a third part at the base ; the remainder being a dark 

 chocolate, with many different shaped ash-coloured spots. Near the external edges are five round ash- 

 coloured spots on a row, one being placed above the rest. Posterior wings chiefly whitish, except at the
