ternal blackish border, upon which a submarginal paler lunated 
line is dimly visible ; the inner edge of this border is bounded 
by a diffused white line: secondaries with an oblong blackish 
spot just beyond the cell; a rather broad blackish external 
border with undulated white inner edge, and enclosing a mar- 
ginal series of dull black spots with lunate white inner borders; 
tail short, black, tipped with white: abdomen brownish. 
Wings below with the basal half pale brownish grey; the 
secondaries crossed by regularly placed oblong darker 
patches edged with blackish and white; the primaries with 
only one such patch at the end of the cell, external half 
snow-white, an irregular blackish-bordered grey-brown band 
crossing the disk immediately beyond the basal area; a sub- 
marginal undulated blackish stripe, followed by a marginal 
series of blackish spots, the last two on the secondaries in- 
tense black sprinkled with metallic blue scales, the last but 
one being large, the blue scaling confined to its outer margin, 
and its inner edge bounded by a pale stramineous lunule; a 
black marginal line; fringes spotted with blackish at the ex-

9. Allied to LZ. argentina. Wings above pale blue-grey ; 
primaries with a broad apical area and external border dark 
grey-brown; a small black spot at the end of the cell; a 
slender abbreviated white submarginal line near external

brown, with white-bordered darker brown markings as fol- 
lows :—two irregular oblong spots closing the discoidal cells 
and enclosed by two continuous irregular bands connected 
with the extremities (that is to say, on the costal border of 
primaries and the abdominal border of secondaries) ; a con- 
tinuous undulated (or almost zigzag) submarginal white- 
bordered brown stripe, limiting the marginal conical spots, 
which are continued to the apex of primaries, the last two on 
secondaries being partly black and surmounted by orange;
