in fore-wing, except row beyond middle, which is interrupted 

 as on upper-side ; four to six spots of outer submarginal row 

 marked with bluish-silvery. 



The and ? of this species are alike. On the under-side of fore-wing 

 it sometimes happens that the projection from transverse row beyond middle 

 joins the spot commencing inner submarginal row, so that a quadrate white 

 spot is isolated on costa. The entire absence of any basal blue readily 

 distinguishes Calice from Rosimon and from Hintza ? .

? (?) Pale-blue, inclining to violet, with greyish margins. 

 Fore-wing : greyish edging borders costa, widens to a broad 

 space at apex, and thence narrows to a point at anal angle. 

 Hind-wing : greyish edging broad on costa, narrowing to a 

 thin line along hind-margin ; from first median nervule to 

 anal angle a submarginal, macular, orange band, marked 

 exteriorly with two black spots, between first and third 

 median nervules (the upper spot very indistinct) ; a short, 

 linear, greyish-white tail at extremity of third median nervule. 

 UNDER-SIDE. Pale whitish-grey ; in both wings a greyish, 

 white-margined streak closing discoidal cell ; a row of small, 

 black, white-ringed spots beyond middle (in fore-wing from 

 fifth subcostal nervule to submedian nervure, and the first 

 spot very minute, in hind-wing very irregular, the spots 

 nine in number), and two indistinct submarginal lines. 

 Hind-wing : three conspicuous, black, white-ringed spots 

 near base, viz., one above subcostal nervure, the second in 

 cell, the third below submedian nervure ; orange band 

 commencing on discoidal nervule. Cilia greyish-white. 



" February ; rare." D'Urb., in litt. 



In Hopffer's figure of the $ , there is, in fore-wing, no greyish edging on 

 costa before extremity of cell, and in hind-wing there is a submarginal row 

 of blackish spots, between the last three of which and hind-marginal line is 

 a white line.
