Imago. — Male. Upperside of a brighter and clearer blue than in //. onyx, the 

 outer margin more convex, the white patch usually smaller, not usually extending 

 below vein 2, the black outer marginal border narrowing hindwards. Hinchcing with 

 the upper tail (at the end of vein 3), in all the specimens we have seen, very short, not 

 half as long as it is in onyx. Underside, ground colour similar. Fureicing with the 

 margins of the white band more even, making the band somewhat bottle-shaped. 

 Hindimng with the band narrower, straighter, not constricted at its middle, the anal 

 markings somewhat similar, but the space between the anal black spot and the black 

 spot in the first interspace is white, speckled with black atoms, there is an extra sub- 

 terminal small black spot in the third interspace and each spot and mark in each inter- 

 space is capped with metallic blue-green scales. Antennae, head and body as in onyx. 



Female. Upperside dull Ijluish-grey. Foreivivg, with some blue scales on the 

 basal portion ; the white patch as in //. onyx. Hindwing with some white on the 

 middle of the costa and a small suffused whitish space in the middle of the wing, the 

 ground colour of the wing paler than it is on the forewing. Underside as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? 1 to 1^% inches. 



Habitat. — South India, Ceylon. 



Distribution. — The type came from Ceylon ; we have both sexes from Kandy and 

 from Kanara ; it is closely allied to H. onyx, but can always be recognized by the 

 shortness of the tail at the end of vein 3.

Imago. — ]\Iale. Upperside. Forewing with a white patch in the upper disc as in
