previous row, and each spot is angled externally but is rounded in- 

 ternally, the upper three touch each other, the fourth being isolated on 

 the inner margin, the subterminal row is obscure consisting of little 

 more than an indefinite stripe. 



5 . Both wings brigbtish-purple with a blackish spot at the end of 

 the cell, that on the primaries being much larger than the one on the 

 secondaries. Primaries with a broad brown costa and termen and a 

 small (comparatively) lemon-coloured spot' beyond the black spot 

 terminating the cell ; secondaries with a very broad brown costa and 

 a broad brown somewhat irregular termen. Underside primaries 

 as in the male, but the divisions between the cell spots are pale 

 blue and the lemon spot shows through. Secondaries as in the 

 male but greyer, the pattern therefore shows more distinctly and 

 the spots in the median area are more confluent.

This species is distinct from 0. idmo, Hew., to which it 

 is very nearly allied, the shape of the wings in the $ is 

 quite different, the costa of the primaries is more curved, 

 and the termen is distinctly produced outwards between 

 veins 2 and 5 ; in idmo the termen is nearly straight, 

 receding from near the apex to the tornus, the shape and 

 width of the brown costa and termen are very different, 

 and below the posterior catenulated stripe is different in 

 position and shape whilst the under-side of the secondaries 

 differs considerably in pattern also.

£. Both wings dull brownish-purple or purplish-brown, in 

 certain lights the purple has an almost red lustre. Primaries with a 

 very narrow almost linear-brown termen. Secondaries with costa 

 brown to vein 7, termen very narrowly brown. Under-side, both 

 wings brown finely irrorated with pale grey. Primaries with three
