112 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



nervule, lielow the end of that nervule the outer marginal black band is very narrow, 

 not much more than a black line, and in some examples it runs diffusely for a short 

 distance on the hinder margin. IJindicini/ with the costal band broadly black, limited 

 by the median vein and its second nervule, sometimes a little of the blue colour going a 

 little above the middle of the nervule ; outer marginal line finely l)lack, a sub-terminal 

 black spot in the anal lobe and in each of the next two interspaces, the immediate costa 

 and the abdominal fold greyish-white ; tails black, tipped with white. Cilia of forewing 

 black, of the hindwing grey at the base, white on the outer side with a black spot at 

 each of the vein ends. Underside very pale grey, markings finely brown. Forewing 

 with a line closing the cell, a discal transverse lunular line from near the costa, slightly 

 sinuous, to the sub-median vein where it ends in an outwardly bowed lunule. Hindicing 

 with a small sub-basal blackish dot below the costa, a line closing the cell, a somewhat 

 sinuous line from the costa, straight down to vein 3, then in an inward bend to vein 2 

 and continued to the abdominal margin, a little above the anal angle like the letter W, 

 with a parallel short line below its end and a black spot above it on the middle of that 

 margin ; both wings with pale, double, sub-marginal lunular lines, a black spot on the 

 anal lobe, another in the first interspace, both capped with orange, with some grey 

 marks in the interspace between them. Antennae Ijlack, ringed with white, club with 

 an orange tip ; frons black, with a white stripe on each side ; palpi with the first two 

 joints white, the third black ; head and body blackish-brown above, with blue pubescence, 

 pale grey beneath. 



Female. Upperside paler than the male. Forewing with the upper disc quite 

 pale, inclined to whitish, the black costal band not quite so broad, its inner margin 

 being above the median vein. Illndicing with the costal space and the abdominal 

 fold whitish, the latter nearly pure white, the terminal line black, with an inner 

 white thread from the anal angle to vein 3. Underside exactly as in the male.
