$ Black; hind-tving mostly shining violaccous-bliie ; fore-wing ivith 

 subapical creamy -whitish oblique bar. Fore-wing : costa edged with 

 creamy- white, which is widest and suffused about middle ; in discoidal 

 cell two transverse fulvous strife, of which the outer (marking extremity 

 of cell) is the better marked ; between them a blue stria ; immediately 

 beyond cell occasionally traces of another blue stria ; subapical whitish 

 bar narrow near costa, strongly indented by ground-colour just below 

 second radial, divided into four by crossing nervures, — its two lower 

 and much broader divisions vertically intersected by a more or less 

 suffused black streak ; near apex a short creamy- whitish narrow costal 

 bar ; between this and the lower part of the subapical oblique bar, a 

 small blue-centred black ocellus in a fulvous ring ; a similar, usually 

 rather larger, ocellus (commonly suffused with fuscous) adjoins lower 

 extremity of the oblique bar; between the latter ocellus and inner 

 margin, close to posterior angle, a subquadrate violaceous-blue patch ; 

 just before hind-margin two parallel creamy- whitish streaks (of which 

 the outer is very thin and sometimes nearly obsolete), broken into spots 

 by the clouded-blackish nervures, and shot with blue at and a little 

 above posterior angle. Hind-vmig : blue occupies entire discal portion, 

 infringing a little the outer part of discoidal cell, whose extremity 

 is usually marked by a strong black streak ; inner-mai'ginal border 

 fuscous ; two ocelli like those of fore-wing on disc, one between second 

 subcostal and radial nervules, the other between first and second median 

 nervules ; of these, the upper ocellus is often minute and without the 

 fulvous ring ; the two hind-marginal whitish stride less broken than in 

 fore-wing and preceded by a fuscous one, but much suffused by the 

 discal blue. Under side. — Dull cream-colour. Fore-wing : basal por- 

 tion ochre-yellow, which does not reach, however, either costa or inner 

 margin ; blue cellular stri^, represented by whitish ones, black-edged 

 on both sides ; oblique bar rather paler than ground-colour, strongly 

 black-bordered anteriorly ; ocelli ill-defined, their wings much paler, the 

 lower one larger than on upper side ; a fuscous space below the latter. 

 Hind-wing : two thin, inconspicuous, crenulated, fuscous, transverse 

 streaks from costa to inner margin, one before, the other a little beyond 

 middle ; of these, the outer is externally bordered by an ill-defined 

 argillaceous fascia ; in discoidal cell two slightly-paler transverse striee, 

 thinly fuscous-edged ; ocelli usually very faintly indicated with fuscous, 

 but between them traces of two other faint ones, and above the second 

 subcostal the indication of a fifth ; a fuscous mark at anal angle. In
