middle of the wing very limited, but varies somewhat in extent in different example 'S 

 Underside as in the male, but the ground colour slightly paler and the markings 

 consequently more distinct ; all the spots in both sexes are small and do not vary 

 much in size. 



Expanse of wings, ? ? ij inches.

 narrow, with the extremity bluntly pointed ; the penis is very small.

Imago. — Male. Upperside, dark morpho-blue, shading towards the costa and 

 outer margin of both wings into purplish-blue. Forewing with the costal and outer 

 ma,rginal line black. Hlndwing with the costal space narrowly blackish, outer 

 marginal line black, no tails. Underside ochreous-brown, spots darker brown, with 

 pale edging. Forewing with a small sub-basal spot in the cell, a larger one in the 

 middle and a still larger sub-quadrate spot at the end ; a spot below between the latter 

 two, and a spot in the next lower interspace beneath the centre cell spot, these two 

 spots well separated ; a discal row of six separated spots almost in a straight line, the 

 upper one small, the others of even size and nearly round, the fourth spot very 

 slightly outwards, a sub-marginal series of spots, and between this series and the discal 

 series are indications of another series, terminal line brown, and a series of marginal 

 lunular marks. Hindwing with four small sub-basal spots, the second and fourth 

 slightly inwards, followed by three larger spots in a line, the middle one slightly 

 inwards, a curved spot at the end of the cell, with a small spot below it, a discal band 

 of eight rather distinct spots, the second well outwards, just touching the outer edge of 

 the first, the third still further outwards, touching the fourth below it, the fifth inwards, 

 the sixth outwards, the seventh angular and well inwards not disconnected, touching 

 the irregular-shaped eighth spot, sub-marginal and marginal series more or less distinct, 

 a black spot at the anal angle, with a sub-terminal spot in each of the two following
