Description. 



Male, above dark brown, loosely powdered dull blue scales, giving 

 a frosted appearance ; a diffused v/hite spot at the end of each cell ; 

 border dark brown, f miUiraetre wide ; cilia long and white. Female, 

 above, blue scales, very sparse dark border and white cell spots 

 absent. Below fore-wing lead grey, a large white diffused spot in 

 the cell, and, at the end, a contiguous row of large, dark-centred, 

 white spots in 1-6, the last spot being shifted in, a post-discal broad 

 white fascia, submarginal diffused black spots in each space; cilia 

 white prominently chequered with brown at the end of each vein. 

 Below hind-wing dark chocolate brown, but is so covered with very 

 large white spots that the ground-colour can hardly be seen ; four 

 basal spots, in 7, double-sized in cell occu2i3ang two-thirds of it, in 1 

 and la; discal row of 7 spots, those in 1-5 in a straight line pointing 

 to the apex, 6 and 7 shifted right in; post discal, etc., markings as 

 on the fore-Aving. Antennae prominently ringed white and Avith 

 an unusually large club. Eyes smooth. Palpi unusually long. 

 Apex of fore-wing sharp pointed, but not produced ; termen highly 

 convex especially near dorsum ; hind-wing evenly rounded. Expanse 

 of male 2.3 and of female 19 millimetres. The nearest ally to this 

 very distinct little species is the Lycaena liiana I described from 

 S. E. Thibet in J.B.N.H.S., vol. xxiii; the general appearance below 

 is similar and the hind-wings are much the same ; but the chequered 

 cilia, the markings on the fore-wing and the blue colouring above 

 render it easily recognisable.
