(S . Upperside : both wings rather dull violet ; primaries with 

 narrow brown costa, and less narrow, but still narrow, black outer 

 margin ; secondaries with broad brown cosla and narrow outer 

 margin ; abdominal fold greyish ; tail brown, longish, tipped with 

 white. Underside : both wings warm ochreous brown, with 

 darker spots palely encircled. Primaiies with three increasing cell- 

 spots, below the third another in the lower median angle ; trans- 

 verse catenulated band composed of six spots — the first three very 

 oblique outwardly, the fourth inclined (not shifted) inv'ards so as 

 to form a sharp curve with the lowest of the three, fifth shifted 

 well inwards, sixth inclined outwards ; submarginal row rather 

 indefinite ; submedian area paler, subdiscal ai'ca darker. Second- 

 aries with a small spot at the basal costal extremity ; four basal 

 spots, the third shifted slightly outwards, the fourth well inwards, 

 followed by three larger spots below each other ; cell closed by a 

 subquadrate spot, below which is a small one toucliing the lowest 

 of the three; catenulated band composed of eight spots — the second 

 shifted outwards and detatched from the first and the third, third 

 and fourth shifted right outwards, fifth well inwards, sixth out- 

 wards, seventh right inwards and detached, confluent with the long 

 eighth spot ; submarginal row sublunular and well defined ; anal 

 spot velvety black, preceded by two black spots, which are almost 

 covered over with pale blue metallic scales ; the anal spot is also 

 edged above by the same coloured scales. 



5 . Upperside : both wings pale violet ; primaries with rather 

 broad costa, very broad apical area, and broad outer margins, all 

 brown ; secondaries with broad brown costa, narrow brown outer 

 margin, increasing slightly towards the anal angle. Underside 

 similar to the male, but much paler, and in the secondaries the 

 fourth spot of the catenulated band is projected more outwards. 



A male from North Borneo is decidedly bluer than those from 

 Malacca, and the outer margin of the secondaries is rather wider. 



I have thought it well to fully describe this species, as Staudinger's 

 description (Iris, ii. pp. 125 & 126) is almost purely comparative.
