terminal band, joined to the discal band by bro-wn streaks along the veins, -n-ith 

 ochreous streaks between them in some examples. Ilindwing \Adth the costa rather 

 broadly browTi, a sub-terminal double row of blackish spots with whitish lunular marks 

 between them. Underside as in the male, but paler. Antennae, head and body above 

 and below as in the foregoing species. 



Expanse of wings, J ? 1^*0 to 1^5^- inches. 



Habitat. — Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo. 



Distribution. — F elder's types, which we have examined, came from Sumatra, 

 Ijeing faded, we have figured fresh, identical examples. Druce records it from Borneo, 

 Distant from the Malay Peninsula, Penang and Malacca, and Bingham from the 

 extreme south of Tenasserim.

Imago. — Male. Upperside brilliant blue, emerald-green in certain lights. Fore- 

 tcing with a black, narrow costal band from the base to the end of the cell, where it 

 becomes deeper, with some of the black colour in some specimens running down the 

 median vein for a short distance, its lower edge running out evenly below vein 4 and 

 then sharply down to vein 2 which limits the broad black band, the apical third of the 

 wing thus being black, the black then runs narrowly down the outer margin to the 

 hinder angle, and for a short distance along the hinder margin ; in this black apical 

 band are three blue spots joined together, outwardly oblique from below the costa one- 

 fifth from the apex of the wing, and there are also within the band two or three small 

 blue, sub-marginal spots. Hindwing with the costal space broadly blackish, the colour 

 paling towards the actual costa, a series of sub-marginal black spots rather blurred, 

 in some examples a double series ; terminal line black. Cilia black, with some white at 

 the tips. Underside dull grey, markings very slightly darker than the ground colour, 

 indicated by their orange-brown edgings. Forewing with four bars across the cell of 

 the usual shape, a discal band, dislocated in its middle, extending to the sub-median 

 vein, followed by another band dislocated in three places extending beyond the suit- 

 median vein, a double sub-terminal series of indistinct marks, a terminal orange-brown 

 line. Hindwing with three indistinct irregular bands of bars on the basal half, a discal 

 lunular band, dislocated at vein 4, a brown anal spot and a similar sub-terminal spot in 

 each of the three following interspaces, all the markings more or less indistinct. 



Female. Pale bluish. Forewing. Upperside with the colour inclined to 

 whitish in the upper disc, where there is some orange sufi'usion ; costal band black,
