Ilab. Aroa River. 



Type in my collection. 



In shape this species should be a male, as both the wings are 

 of the normal shape of that sex ; the fore tarsi, however, together 

 with the very resti'icted blue areas, show it to be a female.

 a linear black costa ; termen narrowly black, increasing somewhat 

 at the apex. Secondaries with costa white to vein 7, termen

 s, black dot above vein 1 .
