enclosed by a double line, some bordering spots outside the cell, a large broad upper 

 discal patch decreasing from the costa sinuously to near the upper median and 

 traversed by a pale sinuous streak, two outer-discal large somewhat hastate marks 

 between the radial and middle median, the lower one being generally broken, an 

 upper submarginal series of small slender sinuous mai^ks, the upper two being double 

 and with white centre, the two lower with a white outer streak, a small similar 

 sinuous mark also between the middle and lower median ; the outer margin inwardly 

 blotched with reddish-ochreous ; obliquely across the disc the interspaces between 

 the veins are somewhat whitish, indicating the white marks of the band on the 

 upperside. Hindwing with a dark brown spot at the base of costal lobe, a streak 

 from base of abdominal margin extending across base of cell to the costa, some 

 Btreaks below the cell to abdominal margin a reniform mark in middle of the cell, 

 another at its end extending to the upper subcostal veinlet, and a slender angled- 

 streak beyond the cell, a small patch above the cell, some streaks below the cell, two 

 broad partly-coalescent irregular upper-discal patches descending from the costa, 

 followed by an outer-discal series of large conical-shaped spots — one between each of 

 the interspaces — and each thickly irrorated with black and metallic-greyish-green 

 scales, the anterior inwardly margined by a black and an ochreous-red outer line, the 

 lower wdth a black line only, each also is outwardly bordered by a blackish line ; the 

 middle of outer margin including the upper half of the tail is dark brown, the lower 

 half of the tail being green or greyish-green inwardly and whitish outwardly ; anal 

 lobe with a black angled-mark centred with red outwardly and bordered by green or 

 greyish-green inwardly ; a smaller similar streak also above anal angle. 



Female. Upperside as in male, except that the blue band on the forewing is some- 

 what broader and its white markings also broader and longer. On the hindwing the 

 apical white spots are also somewhat broader, and the lower marginal white line 

 more prominent. Underside also as in male, except that on the forewing the inter- 

 spaces between the veins obliquely across the disc — indicating the white portions of 

 the band of the upperside — are broader and more defined. Body above blue-black, 

 beneath whitish with blackish stripes ; jDalpi above brown, sides white and with a 

 black stripe beneath ; legs blackish above, whitish beneath ; antennae reddish-
