subcostal nervure, is a small white dot. Below this, in discoidal space and 

 slightly nearer base, is another somewhat larger dot resting on median nervure. 

 In the interspace above the lowest submedian nervule, about one-quarter inch 

 from hind margin, is a semi-transparent white spot crossing the interspace, con- 

 cave on its outer side. In interspace above this, slightly nearer hind margin, is 

 another similar spot, somewhat smaller. 



The upper side of hind wing is of same ground color as fore wing. The 

 basal area in some lights is bright lustrous blue. The hind marginal fringe is 

 bright tawny, thread-like at upper angle but broadening to one-eighth inch 

 wide at anal angle. This prominent fringe and the lustrous blue of basal areas 

 form the prominent markings of upper surface. 



The under side of fore wing is dark brown. The spots of upper surface are 

 distinctly repeated. From costa, one-third distance from apex to base, extends 

 a soft suffusing band of grayish, running toward centre of hind margin and 

 then turning at base of apical area and paralleling hind margin, disappearing 

 toward lowest submedian nervule. The immediate apical area is of same color, 

 suffusing gently toward this band. Inner marginal area light brown. Hind 

 marginal fringe the same as on upper side. 



Under side of hind wing same ground color as fore wing. Costal area, near 

 base, grayish. From centre of costa, extending toward base, is a soft suffusing 

 band of grayish. From apex, running across to inner margin, is a similar band, 

 broken and made irregular by suffusions of the ground color. Running from 

 apex toward anal angle, in hind marginal area, is another band or space of 

 similar coloring, ending at lowest submedian nervule, concaved in interspaces 

 just within hind margin, and somewhat broken along its central portion by the 

 ground color. Hind marginal fringe bright tawny, as on upper side, but suffus- 

 ing more toward the base at anal angle.
