 from it, the apical third of the wing showing scarcely any 

 fuscous scales ; the pale shining steel-blue bands are distri- 

 buted from the costa before the middle to the dorsum beyond

 precedes it, and are carried round the costa and termen, but 

 a little within them ; cilia light brownish ochreous along their 

 basal half, their outer half pale ochreous. Exp. al. 20 mm.
