more distinct, whilst the second and third spots of the transverse 

 band of the secondaries are not dislocated.

iS • Upperside : both wings dull violet ; primaries with costa 

 blackish, of medium width, and posterior margin rather broader ; 

 cell closed by a distinct, black, curved, narrow spot, and nervures 

 intersecting the surface with black. Secondaries with broad brown 

 costa, rather narrow posterior margin, increasing broadly at the 

 anal angle ; abdominal fold grey ; nervures darkly intersecting 

 the surface. Tail longish, black, tipped with white ; the closing 

 of the cell is slightly darkened. Underside : wings ochreous 

 brown, with darker spots encircled with whitish. Primaries with 

 three large increasing cell-spots, the third vein very irregular and 

 large ; below this is another large spot in the lower median angle, 

 above it is a trace of a minute spot on the costa ; subdiscal area 

 slightly darker, edged very distinctly with whitish, whilst below 

 the second cell-spot is a light V-shaped mark in this area ; trans- 

 verse band composed of six longish spots, the upper four being 

 distinct ovals, a small one near the costa ; the second shifted right 

 outwards, the third a little further out, but, on account of its 

 larger size, its inner margin is shifted inwards also ; fourth shifted 

 outwards again, fifth and sixth spot below each other and shifted 

 well inwards ; below these is a trace of a small spot below the 

 lower median nervule ; submarginal row indefinite and indistinct. 

 Secondaries with a fair-sized spot at the basal extremity of the 

 costa, and four longish basal spots below each other, the upper 

 three being very close together, the fourth shifted right inwards 

 and being in line (horizontally) with the third ; following these 

 are three large spots below each other ; cell closed by a large 

 irregular spot, below which is a larger spot than usual occupying 

 the lower median angle ; transverse band composed of eight spots 

 in pairs ; the lower of the first pair is shifted outwards, the second 

 pair is shifted right out and detached, the lower of these two being 

 further out than the upper ; the third pair well inwards, the lower 

 of these two being shifted slightly outwards; seventh angular spot 

 shifted right inwards and confluent with the eighth spot, which is 

 unusually long, extending close up to the fourth basal spot; submar- 

 ginal band distinct, sublunar; lobe-spot black, edged above with blue 

 metallic scales, a black spot on each side the tail, with superimposed 

 blue metallic scales, which are more plentiful on the inner spot. 



5 . Upperside : both wings violet ; primaries with broad brown 

 costa, broader posterior margin, and very broad apical area; 

 secondaries with broad brown margins all round, diminishing 

 slightly in the anal area. . Underside like the male, but paler and
