9 . Upperside, both wings darker and more riclily coloured than 

 in tlie male, being very conspicuously glossed with purple beyond the 

 lighter basal portions. Forewing with three golden-yellow semi-trans- 

 parent lustrous spots, two discal, situated and shaped much as in 

 Parafa chromus, Cramer, and one minute and subapical one at the 

 junction of the first and second thirds of the length of the last subcostal 

 cell, sometimes with two spots one above the other, the upper the 

 smaller, and placed in the interspace next above. Underside, forewing 

 marked as above, with the inner margin ashy- white, and with a patch of 

 ashy scales in the interno-median area at the level of the discal spots. 

 Iliiiclwing with the band broader than in the male and extending to 

 the costal margin. In one of the specimens of this sex the upperside 

 has a mottled appearance owing to the purple gloss being imperfectly 

 developed, as in so many JEiiploeas. Head and thorax, covered with 

 iridescent olive-green pubescence nearly concolorous with that of the 

 wings ; abdominal segments of the body above and below edged posteri- 

 orly with yellowish inclining to orange above ; eyes encircled with whity- 

 brown scales ; i)alpi clothed with mixed brown and yellowish scales.
