I should have bebeved this to be the female of M album if Dr. Boisduval had not described 

 and figured the female of that species as only slightly less blue than the male. In the species 

 which I am now describing there is no blue and no distinct outer margin, the dull grey near 

 the base blending with the brown towards the margins. It has, too, a third white band on the 

 underside and is without the white spot near the base.
