108 LFPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



the sub-costal veiu to the end of the cell, the inner margin of the apical Land runs from 

 thence almost straight across to a little above the sub-median vein near the outer margin, 

 the band then continued narrowly for the short remaining distance to the hinder angle. 

 IJinduing with the costa narrowly black, the outer marginal band still narrower, its 

 inner margin diffuse, abdominal fold grey ; anal lobe greyish-white, suffused with 

 black, with a dark black spot on its inner side, and with some blue scales ; tails black, 

 tipped with white. Cilia of both wings black, white tipped with black from the anal 

 lobe to the upper tail. Underside dark brown, with a chocolate tinge ; both wings with 

 a darker brown linear discal band, very evenly and slightly outwardly curved on the 

 forewing, regularly and evenly curved on the hiudwing, becoming angulated hindwards 

 as it turns round to the abdominal margin one-fourth from the anal angle, where it 

 has a broad whitish suffusion on its outer side ; the band much closer to the margin 

 on both wings than is usual, a sub-marginal similar band, and another paler band 

 close to the margin ; a large black spot on the anal lobe, another in the first interspace, 

 both very broadly capped with orange, the space between them dark grey with some 

 metallic blue scales, a brown terminal line, which becomes black hindwards and has a 

 white inner line from the anal lobe, which becomes obsolete before reaching the apex 

 of the hindwing. Antenna3 black, ringed with white, club with an orange tip ; frons 

 white, with a black middle stripe ; head and body above and below concolorous with 

 the wings. 



Female. Upperside, both wings violescent-cerulean blue. Forewing with the 

 apical border a little narrower than in the male. Ilindicing with the fuscous border 

 paler, connected AAith the anal marginal smoky-fuscous spots powdery diffused, with a 

 whitish antemarginal line evanescent towards the apex. Underside both wings paler 

 than in the male. Hindwing with spots somewhat fuscous within the whitish marginal 

 line. (Felder.) 



Expanse of wings, $ 1^ to I^q, $ lf\ to l^-^ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Malacca, Nias, Celebes. 



DiSTRiBUTiox. — Recorded by de Niceville from the Mergui Archipelago ; we figure 

 Felder's type male, from which our description is taken, the female we have not been 

 able to procure, therefore give Felder's description and copies of Distant's figure ; it is 

 not in the B. M.
