cJ. Body as iii eunjnome ; forewing more stumpy than iu that species, the 

 apex being more obtuse and the distal margin more rounded. 



Wings, up})erside, deep black, bluish in side-light ; markings (except sub- 



and admarginal dots) pale yellowish green. Forewing : a basal costal streak of 



variable length of the colour of the discal spots or ochraceous ; cell with two spots, 

 one subbasal or in middle of cell behind SO, small, mostly merged together with 

 the other, which is large, occupying the greater part of the apical half of the 

 cell ; discal spots resembling in position somewhat those of euri/nome, all separate, 

 except sometimes spots M- — SM^, the last three and the streak before hinder 

 margin longer than in the other species, spot R' — M' separated into two, the 

 smaller portion situated near the base of the cellule, often absent, the distal portion 

 placed as the respective spot of eurijjiome, but is smaller, spot M' — M- filling in 

 base of cellule, pointed at both ends, streak M-^(>SM') reaching proximally at least 

 to middle of patch M' — M^, its distal end as near the distal margin as in eurynome, 

 streak (SM') — SM- a little more distal than the one before it and mostly of the 

 same length, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter ; streak at inner margin also 

 long ; one to four minute postdiscal dots SC'' — R' ; a complete series of submarginal 



dots, of which dot M'— M^ is the largest; fringe-spots vestigial. Hind wing : 



costal edge white ; a large central area from C to (SM') coloured like discal patches 

 of forewing, composed of seven patches, which in most specimens reach or approach 

 the postdiscal spots, postcellnlar patch covered with white hairs, the patches 

 separated by the black veins ; postdiscal spots in size about the same as in 

 ivakefii'hU, being smaller than in curi/nome ; a complete series of yellowish sub- 

 marginal dots, and another of white admarginal ones ; white fringe-spots traceable 

 here and there. 



Underside black or olive, in the latter case the forewing black from inner 

 margin to R-, a costal spot near base of forewing and basal costal patch on 

 hindwing ochraceous. Markings larger than above, the pale area of the hiudwing 

 extending from costal to abdominal margin, the veins all black, and the submarginal 

 spots of the same wing white ; forewing often with a black dot in the pale cell- 

 patch, and the spots R' — M' occasionally joined together. 



¥. Body paler than in <?, meso-metanotum with wliite hairs laterally. Fore- 

 wing a little less triangular than in euri/iwme. 



Wings, upperxide, with the light marking very much enlarged, the markings 

 yellowish cream-colour.— -Forewing : cell-patch occupying five-sixths of the cell, 

 extended close to the veins, which remain black ; a long costal streak, a short one 

 behind SC-'', three long streaks SC^' — R-^ extending from cross-veins to near the 

 jjostdiscal spots, which they do not reach, four large patches 11^ — SM'-, reaching 

 from cell to submarginal spots, only partly separated, the veins being partly cream- 

 colour, a long streak at inner margin, streak (SM')— SM" almost completely merged 

 tngrMher with streak M'^— (SM'), forming one large streak which is incised distally 

 »nd triangularly sinuate pro.xiiualiy ; four posldi.scai spots S(I' — U'', more or less
