is slightly diffuse and is also produced inwards, as is the narrow 

 black edging on the apical portion of the costa, for a very short 

 distance along the veins. Hind ving : costal margin slightly and 

 diffusely fuscous ; apex and teruien narrowly edged with black, 

 which is produced along the veins as on tho fore wing ; this black 

 edging is broadest anteriorly and dwindles to a very slender 

 anticiliary line posteriorly, which is continued upwards from the 

 tornal angle for a short distance along the dorsum, above it the 

 dorsal margin is whitish. Underside: shining silvery grey. Fore 

 wing: with the following small black spots, each encircled with 

 silvery white : a spot in basal half of cell, a spot below it in inter- 

 space 1, a transverse spot on the discocellulars and a transverse 

 discal sinuate series of seven spots, the anterior four placed in a 

 curve, the posterior two spots often geminate ; beyond these 

 are a transverse postdiscal series of dusky black lunules, each 

 edged outwardly with very pale ochraceous, another similar series 

 of transverse dusky spots and an anticiliary slender fuscous black 

 line. Hind wing : a small patch of blue scaling at base, a trans- 

 verse well separated subbasal series of four small black spots and a 

 discal, anteriorly strongly curved series of eight similarly-coloured 

 spots all encircled slenderly with silvery white ; terminal markings 

 as on the fore wing, but very slender and black, the postdiscal row 

 of lunules and the subterminal row of black spots strongly curved, 

 the outward edging to the lunules brighter and more pronounced. 

 Cilia of both fore and hind wings white. Antennae black, the 

 shafts as usual ringed with white ; head, thorax and abdomen with 

 blue pubescence ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. 

 5 . Upperside : brown ; base of fore and hind wings with a 

 little blue sealing that is continued obscurely along the dorsum, 

 and anticiliary slender black lines on both wings. Fore wing : a 

 posterior transverse subterminal series of three or four bright 

 ochraceous spots. Hind wing: similar ochraceous lunular spots 

 edging a posterior row of jet-black spots that become obsolescent 

 anteriorly. Cilia of both fore and hind wings white, broad and 

 prominent. Underside : ground-colour dark brownish-grey, the 

 markings similar but the terminal markings on both fore and hind 

 wings fainter, not so well-defined. Antenna? as in the d" ; head, 

 thorax and abdomen brown, the thorax in some specimens clothed 

 with a few bluish hairs ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 as in the tf .
