160 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OF THE EUWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



Undeeside. Cream-white, with sepia-brown markings. Fore-wing : a russet-brown 

 powdering of scales partially obscures all but the outer third of the wing, and the 

 basal markings appear indistinctly as merely a darker shade of the same russet-colour ; 

 in the cell a bar about 1 mm. wide, with lighter borders, with its dorsal corner at the 

 origin of vein 2 ; at the end of the cell a similar bar, traversed by the discocellulars, 

 and having lighter inner and outer edges. Above each of these, at the costal border, 

 a small dark spot, the outer really a very much inwardly displaced member of the 

 discal band ; beyond these, one-third from the external margin and parallel with it, 

 a transverse curved row of roughly-reniform spots between the veins ; owing to the 

 limits of the interspaces the spots are longest antero-posteriorly towards the internal 

 margin, and the lowest one is rather oblique. About 1'5 mm. from the external 

 margin a row of sis lunulate spots, the lowest much displaced inwardly ; between 

 these spots and the margin, with their convex side fitting into the concavity of those 

 of the inner row, are six elongate subsemicircular markings. The border is narrowly 

 outlined with dark sepia. Hind-wing : the two external rows of spots are similar to 

 those in the fore-wing, save that the outer spot in interspace 1 is replaced by a black 

 ocellus pupilled with silvery-blue scales ; but the transverse band of subreniform spots 

 from the costal to the inner margin almost forms a zigzag, the fourth spot from the 

 costa being the most distal. The basal spots show the general arrangement common 

 in Uranothauma ; a spot at the end of the cell, and, basal to this, three irregular 

 rows of spots, some with internal pale scaling, the costal spot of the outer row being 

 much larger than the others and reniform in shape. 



§ . — Uppeeside. The poor condition of the specimen makes the true coloration of the 

 female rather a matter of conjecture; the cilia are a good deal damaged, but appear 

 to be uniformly brown. Fore-wing : violet scales can be traced on the basal half and 

 behind the middle of the cell ; the external dark border is a little broader than that 

 of the male and less sharply defined ; while there is an additional dark transverse band 

 (representing the discal row of spots beneath), separated from the border by an 

 indistinct narrow paler band. Hind-iving : no violet scales can be traced with certainty 

 on the darkened basal area ; the indistinct pale submarginal band of the fore-wing is 

 continued from the costa to vein 2 ; and the black ocellus lacks the inner edging of 

 tawny scales. 



Undeeside. The markings generally similar to those of the male, but the ground- 

 colour distinctly more grey. Fore-wing : the discal row of spots is more consolidated 

 than in the male, being also straighter near the costa and with the lowest spot not 

 oblique. 



The thorax and abdomen dull blue, with a few browner scales above ; below lighter, 

 more grey.
