gray ; in the middle of the outer two thirds of the wing is an irregular, bu 

 nearly stiaight series of transverse streaks of dark gray, forming a continu 

 ance of the streaks of fore wing, but more strongly bordered with orange on 

 inner side and white on outer side, and running parallel to the margin and 

 terminating at inner margin about one third the distance from anal angle to 

 base; in the lower median interspace is a prominent orange spot, bordered 

 above with a black line and enclosing at its base a nearly circular black spot, 

 almost touching hind margin ; in the next space below is a similar orange and 

 black spot, less than half the size of the first and less distinctly marked, ex- 

 tending over the nervure to the anal angle ; between these spots there is a 

 sprinkling of light bluish scales, sometimes absent. 



Female. Head, antennae and legs, same as male. Thorax and abdomen 

 the same, except the blue of the male is replaced by the ground color of the 

 wings. Ground color of wings a light grayish blue, near light slate color; 

 some specimens being brighter and with considerable lustre ; markings the 

 same as male, except that the discoidal spot is wanting (although slightly 

 apparent on some specimens), and the border of blackish gray on fore wings, 

 especially on hind margins, is more suffused, and covers one half the area of 

 the wing, extending from lower angle to a point on costa midway between 

 apex and base. Beneath, identical with male. 



The specimens described were taken near San Jose del Cabo, 

 at extreme end of the Cape, in the month of August. They were 

 flitting about the flowering vines near sea-level. Described from 

 sixteen males and seven females in my collection, taken by Mr. 

 M. Abbott Frazar in 1888.
