46 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



Upperside. Female. — Grey-blue. Anterior wing nearly white towards the centre : the 

 costal and outer margins and apex brown. Posterior wing with the costal margins rufous- 

 brown, crossed beyond the middle by a zigzag band of dark brown : a submarginal band of 

 brown : two spots at the base of the tails and the apical spot black. 



I must confess myself quite unable to understand why /. Pseudolonginus was separated from 

 this species. It is true that the linear bands on the underside differ much in their intensity 

 and are sometimes nearly absent in the males ; but there is no other difference.
