with very pale brownish -grey. Hind wing: a minute spot on 

 dorsuin near base of wing, a series of three subbasal spots placed 

 obliquely across the wing and beyond them a much larger round 

 subcostal spot in interspace 7, black ; a short dusky brown line 

 on the discocellulars, a brown spot above it in base of interspace 6 ; 

 a transverse posterior discal series of five spots also brown, the 

 upper four in a slight curve, the lowest shifted outwards out.of line 

 with the others ; lastly, terminal transverse markings much as on 

 the fore wing, only the fuscous brown line on the inner side of 

 the subterminal series of spots replaced by a series of connected 

 slender lunules. Cilia of fore and hind wings grey. Antennae, 

 head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, the antennae ringed with 

 white ; beneath : palpi, thorax and abdomen grevish white.

c? . Upperside, fore wing : blackish brown, a central patch that 

 occupies the lower apical portion of the cell and the basal halves 

 of interspaces 2 and 3 white; lightly suffused with iridescent 

 lilacine blue ; this colour is intensified and spreads upwards over 

 the dark brown along the basal portion of the costa, inwards right 

 up to the base of the wing, downwards over three-fourths of the 

 dorsal area from base and outwards from the white patch towards 

 the termen ; the ground-colour occupies the apex very broadly, 

 and posteriorly forms a broad border to the termen. Hind wing : 

 lilacine blue, base and costal margin broadly suffused with fuscous ; 

 a large subapical patch diffusely white ; finally, an anticiliary line 

 black. Cilia of both fore and hind wings white, turning to brown 

 towards the apex of the fore wing. Underside : white, the terminal 

 markings generally prominent in other forms, more or less 

 obsolescent in both fore and hind wings in all specimens that I 

 have seen. Fore wing : the slender short line on the discocellulars 

 and the discal transverse series of short detached lines pale brown, 

 the latter sinuous and anteriorly curved inwards. Hind wing : 

 three subbasal spots in transverse order, a spot below the middle 

 of the costa not larger or more prominent than the others, and 

 an irregular discal series of elongate spots, pale brown. Antennas, 

 head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, the antennae ringed with 

 white ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. $ . Upper- 

 side, fore wing: a beautiful lilacine blue with a white central 

 patch that occupies the lower apical half of the cell and the basal 

 three-fourths of interspaces 3, 4 and 5 ; apex of wing and upper 

 portion of termen broadly black, the inner border of this colour 

 curving from a preapical point on the costa to apex of vein 3,
