sub-marginal less broad but rather prominent band which becomes diffuse hindwards 

 and narrows upwards, a brown marginal line and between them a series of small 

 lunular marks, the hinder marginal space below these bands paler than the rest of the 

 wing. Hindwing rather darker than the forewing, four sub-basal spots nearly in a 

 line, followed by three larger spots in a line, the third somewhat triangular, a curved 

 bar with a pale centre at the end of the cell, a spot between its lower end and the 

 triangular spot, a very irregular discal series of eight spots, the first pair from 

 the costa conjoined, the lower inner end of the second spot touching the upper outer 

 end of the discoidal bar, the next two conjoined and well outwards, the fifth and 

 sixth together in echelon to the third and fourth, the upper outer end of the fifth 

 touching the lower inner end of the fourth, the seventh curved, its outer part inside 

 the lower end of the sixth and just touching it, the eighth annular and well separated 

 from the seventh, and placed well in\¥ard and upward close to the abdominal margin, 

 marginal line brown, a sub-marginal band of conjoined lunules, and between them a 

 series of small lunular marks. 



Female. Like the male above and below, but darker, the spots below more 

 prominent. 



Expanse of wings, $ $, ly% inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Distribution. — The type, a female, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, was 

 taken by Bingham in the Thoungyin Valley ; there are both sexes in the B. M. from 

 Bingham's collection, taken by him later in the Haundraw Valley, from which our 

 descriptions and figures are taken ; the underside of de Niceville's figure is very incorrect 

 and does not correspond with his description.

Imago. — Male. Upperside brilliant blue. Forewing with broad black costal 

 border, which joins the black discoidal bar and from thence is broader to the apex, 

 where it is broadest, the band being continued broadly and almost evenly down the 

 outer margin. Hindwing with costal and outer marginal border, broadly and evenly 

 black ; abdominal fold grey. Cilia black, anal lobe very slightly represented ; no tail, 

 but there is a short production of the wing at the end of vein 2. Underside with the 

 ground colour chocolate-grey, markings dark chocolate-brown. Forewing with some 

 chocolate-brown suffusion above and below the cell, three cell spots with pale centres, 

 increasing in size outwards, the two usual spots below the middle of the two outer cell
