d" . Upperside : velvety black, with the following rich aritwerp- 

 blue markings : Fore wing : a streak in interspace 1 a from base 

 for three-fourths of its length, a very broad elongate spot above its 

 apex in interspace 1 extended further towards the termen, a series 

 of elongate spots or short streaks along the lower side of the 

 median vein in interspaces 1, 2 and 3, and three minute obliquely 

 placed upper discal spots in interspaces 4, 5 and 6. Hind wing : 

 streaks from base that do not reach the termen in interspaces 1 

 and 2 greatly broadened outwardly, where they spread into inter- 

 spaces 3 and 4 ; along the apical edge these streaks bear three or 

 four superposed oval black spots ; base and dorsal margin thickly 

 covered with long fuscous hairs ; costal and dorsal margins broadly 

 pale. Underside : silky golden brown. Fore and hind wings : 

 transversely crossed by an irregular, sinuate, discal, dark reddish- 

 brown line edged on the outer side with white, followed by some 

 obscure, pale, terminal markings and a slender dark ferruginous 

 anticiliary line ; tornal area of hind wing with a slight irroration 

 of white scales, a slender, short, transverse black line and a sub- 

 terminal black spot crowned inwardly with ochraceous in inter- 

 space 1. Cilia brown, on the hind wing alternated with white. 

 Antennae black tipped with ochraceous, the shafts ringed with 

 white ; head and thorax with gi'eenish pubescence ; abdomen 

 brown ; beneath : palpi and thorax sullied white, abdomen 

 ochraceous.

$ . Upper side : brown. Fore wing : interspaces 1 a, 1 to 4 for 

 more than half their length from base outwards and the posterior 

 half of the cell overlaid with rich purplish blue ; a dark brown 

 transverse spot on the discocellulars. Hind wing : a medial patch 

 that occupies interspace 1 from base outwards for about two-thirds 

 of its length and basal halves of interspaces 2 to 4 purplish blue ; 

 costa and abdominal fold pale brown. Underside : ground-colour 

 similar to that of Z. jasoda. Fore and hind wings : transversely 

 crossed as in that form by a dark ferruginous discal line, but 

 unlike that in jasoda, not edged outwardly with white and more 

 irregular, more broken and interrupted, especially on the hind 

 wing; terminal obscure markings much as in jasoda and a broader 

 anticiliary similarly coloured line. Cilia of fore and hind wings 

 brown, not alternated with white on the hind wings. Antennae
