I have named this species after Lieutenant Bell, of the 3rd West-India Regiment, who 

 brought it and other very interesting species from Sherborough Island, which is about 130 miles 

 from Sierra Leone.

Upperside. Male. — Brilliant green-blue. Anterior wing with the apex broadly black, 

 the inner margin (under which there is a large tuft of black hair) projecting. Posterior wing 

 with three tails, a large spot of brown on the costal margin : the lobe, which is red-brown, 

 and the inner margin, fringed with white. 



Underside white. Posterior wing with an indistinct submarginal linear broken band of 

 black : the spot between the tails and the lobe (which has a black spot and is tinted with lilac) 



scarlet. 



Female grey-blue clouded with brown ; the nervures black. The costal mar- 

 gin and apical half of the anterior wing dark brown ; the posterior wing crossed beyond the 

 middle by a band of brown bordered below with white : a spot between the inner tails and the 

 lobe (which has a black spot) scarlet : a black spot between the outer tails : a line below these 

 and the fringe white : the underside as in the male, except that the band crosses both wings, 

 is less broken and rufous-brown, and that there is a second brown band nearer the margin.
