deep black. Foreicing with costal margin for one-third narrowly black, then expanding 

 rapidly to the apex and narrowing a little on the outer margin to the hinder angle, its 

 inner margin in a fairly well rounded curve. Hindwing with the costa and outer margin 

 broadly and evenly black, a moderately long, narrow, black tail, tipped with white. 

 Cilia black, with some white at the tips on the upper part of the hindwing only. 

 Underside very dark rich chocolate colour, markings indicated by their pure white 

 edgings ; three large bars of increasing size outwards, in the cell, the second and third 

 white edgings run up above the sub-costal vein, and have a dark patch between them, a 

 white oblique short line above the vein between the fourth and fifth edgings and three 

 above the sixth ; a discal series of six conjoined spots, the first the smallest, a little 

 inwards on the costa, the fourth a little outwards, a small patch of white with a short 

 white line above it, connecting the lower part of the baud with the lower end of the 

 discoidal bar, a double series of sub-marginal, much angulated white conjoined lunules, 

 nearly obliterated at the apex by a large white smear. Hindicing with a large round 

 white spot on the middle of the costa, four sub-basal spots in a line, the upper three 

 conjoined, followed by three slightly larger spots in a line attached to each other, a bar 

 at the end of the cell, constricted in its middle, a discal series of eight spots, the fifth 

 and seventh a little inwards, the seventh curved with a small spot attached to it, sub- 

 marg-inal double series of white lunules as in the fore wing more or less obliterated at 

 the apex by a large white smear. 



Female. Upperside paler and duller blue, marginal black bands a little broader. 

 Underside as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, i ? l-j^ to 1-y^ inches.

Imago. — Male. Upperside violet-blue. Foreiving with very broad costal and 

 outer marginal black bands, occupying all but the middle, basal, and lower portions of 

 the wing, the costal band narrows a little towards the base, and the outer marginal band 

 runs in narrowly on the hinder margin for a short distance, a black spot at the upper 

 end of the cell, joined to the costal band, and some small white marks in the blue 

 space outside the cell. Hindwing nearly all blackish, the blue space, which is powdered
