running outside the patch, the hinder part of the line disconnected with a spot on its 

 inner side. Ilindioing with several small basal spots and marks continued half-way 

 down the abdominal margin, followed by two linear rows of three spots each, a bar at 

 the end of the cell, a discal, outwardly curved series of curious marks, very difficult to 

 describe, which commences with a large brown spot near the costa, a sub-marginal 

 lunular line, and some pale brown marks close to the margin ; outside the luuular line 

 the three basal interspaces are packed with metallic blue scales, with a small anal black 

 spot and a larger one in the first median interspace ; terminal line black, with a white 

 inner thread. Antennae black, ringed with white, cluli with an orange tip ; head and 

 body above and below concolorous with the wings. 



Female. Upperside. Forewing blackish-brown, with a small white patch in the 

 middle of the disc. Hindwing paler, the lower third blue-grey, a black spot above the 

 outer tail, and another between the two outer tails ; tails blue-grey, tipped with white. 

 Underside more or less suffused with ochreous-grey, the markings as in the male, but 

 very much paler and the spots smaller, and somewhat confluent. 



Expanse of wings, ^ $ 1 to ly^-g- inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Bhutan. 



Distribution. — The type is marked N. India, it is in the B. M. from the Ye Valley,

Imago. — Female. Upperside brown. Forewing wdth an orange-red patch in the 

 disc, filling the inner half of the two median interspaces, and extending upwards in a 

 small patch at the end of the cell. Hindwing with the abdominal space pale, a rather 

 large black anal spot, capped heavily with pale blue scales, indistinct small spots in the 

 next two or three interspaces, outer marginal line black, with an inner white thread ; tails 

 l)lack, with white cilia, and tipped with white ; cilia of the forewing and at the apex of 

 the liindwing brown, hindwards white. Underside pale grey, markings brown. Fore- 

 wing witli a round ante-medial spot in the cell, an irregular large spot constricted at its 

 middle in the centre of the cell, a thin line at the end, with a small spot immediately 

 below it, another below the centre spot, and several costal spots above the cell, more or 

 less indistinct ; a very large brown patch with irregular sides, attached to the costa 

 outside the cell line, its outer edge limited by the sinuous discal line which consists of 

 a number of curves, and a similar sub-marginal series, the upper and lower thirds of
