vein 4, where it is broken and continued to the hinder margin, being broken again at 

 ^'ein 2, a fourth line from near the costa to vein 3, broken at vein 4 ; a lunular 

 complete, rather broader line, a band of brown lunules, outwardly edged hj white 

 lunules, then smaller and darker brown lunules, a terminal black line, and between 

 them, edging both, a white line, all packed close together, forming the terminal band. 

 Hindwing with a linear short mark near the middle of the base, and six transverse 

 broken lines, the fourth terminating in an acute angle at the abdominal margin ; the 

 terminal band, composed as on the forewing, the inner line of it (being the sixth 

 transverse line) broken and not thicker than the others ; a large black sub-terminal 

 spot in interspace 2, another smaller one near the anal angle, both with metallic scales, 

 and capped with orange. Antennae black, ringed with white ; head and body blackish, 

 with some blue pubescence, white beneath. 



Female. Upperside much paler than the male. Forewing with a broad outer 

 marginal black baud, very broad at the apex, with some of the colour, in some examples, 

 runnino- shortly up the veins. Hindwing with the costal space broadly blackish, a 

 black terminal band, containing large white spots in the interspaces, with black lunular 

 spots inside them ; a series of white lunules edging the inner side of the band ; terminal 

 line black. Underside as in the male, the markings more pronounced. 



Expanse of wings, J 1-^-q, $ 1/v inches. 



Habitat. — Ceylon. 



A not uncommon species in Kandy ; we have received several examples.

Lmago. — Male. Upperside shining azure-blue, darker and brighter than in 

 /, lacteata, almost as dark as in /. coruscans. Forewing with a costal fine black line, a 

 thicker terminal line, with inner black suffusion, forming almost a band at the apex 

 and fining hindwards. Hindwing with the costal space pale, terminal line very finely 

 black, edged inwardly with a pale, indistinct, whitish line, broken at the veins, and 

 indications of sub-terminal blackish difi"use spots. Cilia blackish, tipped with grey ; 

 tails black, tipped with white. Underside pale chocolate-brown, markings white. 

 Forewing with four transverse lines, the first from the median vein, just inside the end 

 of the cell, to the hinder margin ; the second of same length parallel to it, both very 

 sliohtly sinuous and divided by the veins ; the third from near the costa to vein 3, 

 sometimes (Ijut not always) dislocated at veins 4, 5, and 6, followed by a fourth similar
