lower disco-cellular circular instead of elliptical. Above, 

 blackish-purple or brown, a curved band across the apex, 

 continued along the costal and outer margins to the anal 

 angle, pale bronzy-blue ; the spots on the hind- wing much 

 smaller and nearer to the margin than in M, Hewitsoni, 

 and the two next the outer angle wanting. Beneath, 

 irrorated as in M. Heivitsoni, the submarginal spots of the 

 anterior wings absent; on the hind- wings the costal spot 

 much smaller, and the marginal spots as above.

This fine species is very closely allied to M. Hewitsoni, 

 and being from the same locality, was at first considered 

 to be a variety, but a more close examination showed that 

 it difi'ered slightly in many important points, and must 

 be considered as perfectly distinct.
