line whicli ends at vein 5 ; two sub-marginal lunular lines, broken by tKe veins, and 

 sometimes indications of an anteciliary pale line. Hindwing with six transverse lines, 

 all more or less dislocated by the veins, the third and fourth abruptly curved inwards 

 towards the abdominal margin, the sub-terminal scries as on the forewing ; a large 

 black sub-terminal spot in interspace 2, a much smaller one in interspace 1, both with 

 metallic blue scales, both capped with orange. Antennae black, ringed with white ; 

 head and body blackish above, with blue pubescence, white beneath. 



Female. Upperside blue, not shining. Forewing with black costal line, apex

 terminal line of both wings finely brown, the white lines of the underside showing

 with the hinder marginal space narrowly white, a line from the median vein, inside the 

 cell, to the white hinder margin, a white dot above the line near the costa, a line across 

 the end of the cell, with a dot above it, followed by a line from near the costa to the white 

 hinder margin, then a line from near the costa to vein 3, all these lines nearly straight. 

 Hindwing with six lines, the second, third and fourth abruptly angled and bent inwards 

 towards the abdominal margin, the fourth line commences from the median vem at the 

 end of the cell, the fifth from near the costa ends on vein 4, its lower portion close to 

 the commencement of the fourth line, the sixth line is dislocated at vein 4 ; both wmgs 

 with a brown terminal line edged inwardly by a white line, followed by two sub-termmal 

 lines more or less lunular and divided by the veins ; a large black lunular sub-terminal
