wings with a sub-terminal lunulated line and a very fine marginal line, and between 

 them a complete row of markings ; composed on the forewing of short grey lines, and 

 on the hindwing of small blackish spots. 



Female. Upperside like the male, but somewhat paler, in some examples with a 

 little white suffusion in the upper disc of both wings. Forewing with broad costal and 

 outer marginal black bands, commencing narrowly at the base of the costa, widening 

 outwards, and broadest at the apex and hinder angle. Hindioing with a broad 

 blackish costal band ; a narrow marginal band ; a sub-terminal blackish lunular line, 

 and between them a row of whitish lunules. Underside as in the male, with the 

 markings more prominent. Cilia white ; antennae black, ringed with white ; head and 

 body black above, white beneath. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ 1^ inches. 



Dry-season Brood (Figs. 2c, $, 2d, ?). 



Male. Upperside much paler than the Wet-season form, and of a lilacine blue. 

 Forewing with a large whitish patch in the middle ; a blackish costal line, and a black 

 outer marginal band, nearly as broad as in the other form, often narrow hindwards, 

 and becomes diffused at the hinder angle. Hindwing with a pale blackish suffused 

 costal band, which becomes dark at the apex, where there is more or less of a patch ; a 

 black marginal line, which is sometimes very thin, and has on its inner side a row o 

 small black lunules, but in many examples this line is broad and covers the lunules 

 Underside as in the AVet-season form, the markings very small and slender. 



Female, similar to the female of the Wet-season form, but the ground colour of 

 both wings is nearly all white above ; the basal and lower portion of the forewing and 

 the abdominal portion of the hindwing being suffused with blackish and covered with 

 blue irrorations. Underside similar to the male. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ ly% inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam. 



Bingham put this species as a synonym to L. jynteana, but Dr. Chapman has 

 proved its distinctness by the examination of the genitalia ; we have received many 

 examples from the Khasia Hills ; both the seasonal examples from which this 

 description has been made have been examined and identified by Dr. Chapman as a 

 form of L. argiolus, which, jynteana is not.
