sharp point, and the clasps are very broad basally and narrow 
rapidly to a sharp point, in form something like an inverted 
pegtop. No other species has anything like either of these 
peculiarities.

Butler questions this being a Cyaniris because of its neuration, 
but his objection is, that its neuration is that which is typical of 
Lycenopsis. I question it also because of the somewhat bizarre 
form of the clasp, which is unlike anything else in the genus, and 
because of the great development of the accessory ventral process 
of the dorsal processes, and those dorsal processes themselves 
possessing several terminal spines; these are small, but are 
reminiscent of albocerulea, to which and to albidisca it seems 
most nearly allied. The ventral accessories of the dorsal pro- 
cesses have here nothing to do with the missing hooks, but 
are rather the ventral portion of abdominal segment 10, and 
are probably united by softer tissues across the middle line.
