eighth inwards and upwards, a sub-marginal series of conjoined, angulated lunules and 

 brown terminal line, the entire wing, with the exception of a pale patch on the costa 

 near the apex and another at the middle, more or less suffused with chocolate-brown 

 and variegated with dark marks. 



Female, coloured and marked like the male above and below, but the blue colour 

 above is somewhat paler. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ l-j-'V to 1-^ inches. 



Habitat. — Andamans, Philippines, Burma. 



Distribution. — Felder's type male came from Luzon, de Niceville's type from 

 Port Blair and is in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, we have not been able to get it for 

 examination, but Bethune-Baker received it from de Niceville and makes it a synonym 

 to Felder's species, and indeed de Niceville's excellent figure is sufficient evidence of its 

 identity ; our female figure is from an example from Luzon, in coll. Druce.

 centre cell spot, an outwardly oblique spot below the end cell spot, another in the next 

 lower interspace attached to it in an angular form, a discal series of six conjoined 

 squarish spots in a slight outward curve, the first the smallest and a little inwards on 

 the costa, the fourth shifted well outwards, a small disconnected spot below the sixth, 

 the wing space below them pale. Hindwing with four sub-basal spots, the third a 

 little outwards, the fourth inwards on the abdominal margin, followed by three some- 

 what larger spots in a line, the first two oval, the third angular ; a curved bar with a 

 pale line in it, at the end of the cell, a small spot attached to its lower inner end, a 

 discal series of eight somewhat square spots, the first six conjoined and in pairs, the
