rather narrow lilacine patch, sprinkled with white scales and 

 placed upon a reniform ultramarine field beyond the cell ; 

 three subapical white spots, the upper two large and only 

 divided by the upper furcation of the subcostal vein : second- 

 aries with a large central lilacine patch, sprinkled with white 

 and broadly encircled with ultramarine blue. Below smoky 

 brown, darker on the disk excepting towards apex of prima- 

 ries ; these wings with the cell mahogany-red, with the usual 

 black-bordered white spots ; an oblique narrow opaline-white 

 band of live spots just beyond the cell ; subapical white spots 

 as above, but continued by a series of five other spots with 

 bluish edges ; median interspaces black ; a submarginal series 

 of pale brown and lilacine lunate spots in pairs followed by a 

 series of simple whitish linear crescents : secondaries with a 

 narrow slightly tapering white band commencing just above 

 the subcostal vein and divided by the nervures ; two white 

 spots just beyond its inferior extremity, bordering the anal 

 excision of the abdominal margin; a white subcostal spot 

 beyond the central band ; a discal series of six blue-edged 

 white spots almost parallel to the outer margin ; submarginal 

 markings as on the primaries, but white. Expanse of wings

 visible above, more s<J on the primaries than on the secon- 

 daries ; the latter wings with the lilacine patch elongated, 

 crossed by black veins; no ultramarine blue on the wings : 

 under surface a little paler than in the male, the submarginal
