Genitalia . — Harpago with its njiper part elongated into a somewhat 
fan-shaped extremity with the outer and lower inner edges strongly 
dentate, below this the front edge has a deep circular excavation 
with the lower extremity terminating in a point. Cingula fairly 
broad M’ith the hinder base produced broadly backwards ; girdle 
expanding but little to the tegumen, which is of quite moderate 
dimensions, with the front dorsal apex well excavated; cheeks evenly 
rounded off; falces strong, highly curved at a third from their 
sockets ; furca rising in two arms almost directly from the base 
with a small patch of short strong bristles at the back at the base of 
the arms, and a larger patch of longer bristles rather higher in the 
front; arms broad and inclined backwards. Penis sheath long and 
narrow, waved with a slight expansion for the hinder half ; cheeks of

VII, fig. 18.) 
. Both wings delicate lilac blue, somewhat fuller in tone when 
held up directly facing the light, extending to the costa in the 
primaries, but only to about vein 7 in the secondaries. Primaries 
with the apex broadly brown tapering rapidly to the termen, and 
much narrower from vein 3 to the tornus. Secondaries with a 
black internervnlar marginal spot between 2 and 3 edged 
above broadly with red. Underside : both wings very pale buff grey 
with spots no darker than the ground-colour, faintly and finely 
edged with whitish. Primaries with an obscure spot closing the 
cell; posterior stripe consisting of three spots slightly curved below 
the costa, two spots shifted right in so that their outer margin 
touches tlie inner margin of the upjier three, sixth spot oblique 
shifted right in precisely as the two middle spots were; a subterniinal 
row of internervular dashes. Secondaries, with two quite small 
spots below the costa almost scarlet with white irides, a sub-basal 
usual-coloured spot on the abdominal margin. Cell closed by an 
obscure spot ; posterior stripe with the first spot below vein 7 and 
the second and third each shifted outwards beyond its predecessor, 
fourth and fifth each shifted inwards in like manner, seventh angled 
spot again inwards; a subterminal row of lunules, a black termina 
spot as on the upperside but with metallic-blue scales and edged 
above with orange red, a small similar spot at the angle,
