white patch, and the outer margin (broadly) black, the small remaining portion of the 

 wing cyaneous, a little darker than in onyx, the costa is longer, making the apex more 

 produced. Hindwing with the costal space above the sub-costal vein, and a little 

 below that vein outside the cell, black ; the rest of the wing cyaneous with some 

 darker irrorations towards the base, outer margin marked as in onyx ; tail at the end of 

 vein 3 as short as it is in that species. Underside paler than in onyx and of a clear 

 ochreous-brown colour. Forewing with the white band extending upwards only a little 

 beyond the sub-costal vein, not narrowing to a point near the costa as it does in onyx. 

 Hindwitig with the band similarly shaped, but narrower and without the metallic blue- 

 green spots ; a small black anal spot, a large black spot in the first interspace, with 

 a metallic blue-green dot on it, the space between irrorated with black and a few white 

 atoms, capped with pale blue-grey and then black thin lunules, the metallic blue-green 

 markings of onyx not present. 



Female. Upperside. Forewing with the white patch somewhat larger, the whole 

 wing space black, except for the basal two-thirds below the median vein, which is dull 

 dark cyaneous. Hindwing paler in colour, the upper part of the wing above the sub- 

 costal vein and the basal half of the cell blackish, the rest of the wing dull dark 

 cyaneous, all the veins from vein 4 hindwards black, the outer marginal markings much 

 as in onyx, all the tails as long as they are in that species, and in both sexes are as 

 usual black, tipped with white. Underside as in the male, but there are usually a 

 few metallic blue-green small spots near the anal angle. 



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



Habitat. — Assam, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma.

Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing brown-black, of a vinous tint, with a large 

 conspicuous oval white discal spot equal in length to half the breadth of the part of the 

 organ on which it lies, equally distant from the opposite margins, and so placed that 

 its major axis and more pointed anterior end are directed towards the middle of the 

 costa. Hindwing dark violet-lilue, bordered increasingly from the base of the anterior 

 margin to the apical angle and thence decreasingly to the anal angle with fuscous
