288 Mr. G. T. Beth une- Baker on 



vein, a larger pale grey spot on the inner margin of the cell with 

 two small spots below it (one on each side) followed by another pale 

 spot on the inner margin, third series very irregular, a longish 

 narrow spot below the costal vein, a pale round one in the angle of 

 vein 7, a large irregular one closing the cell below which is an 

 indefinite trace of a fourth followed by a larger and more distinct spot 

 on the inner margin, posterior catenulated series, irregular and 

 somewhat indefinite on its inner margin, the first spot large below 

 vein 7, second and third shifted right outwards, fourth and fifth well 

 inwards, sixth spot obscure, shifted inwards, an indefinite subter- 

 minal slightly dentate stripe, a trace of a brownish spot on the 

 slightly developed lobe at the tornus. 



§ . Both wings less lustrous and not quite so pale a blue as the 

 male with broader margins. Primaries with a black invading spot 

 at the end of the cell and a creamy yellowish costal patch in front of 

 the apex. Under-side. Primaries like the male but with all the 

 spots larger and darker, and between the cell spots large patches of 

 very pale (washed out) orange. Secondaries similar to the male but 

 with the spots darker, and a white oblique broken stripe right across 

 the wing across the middle of the cell edged by a broad indefinite 

 suffusion of golden brownish, termen with a similar suffusion. 

 Expanse $ 52, 9 54 mm. 



This species is only recorded from Cooktown ; the 

 brilliancy of its upper-side and the paleness of the under- 

 side, together with the small and isolated arrangement of 

 spots beneath, will enable it to be readily separated from 

 any other of the group.
