The female. Wings above with a deep brown border ; a light blue tint with a bright silvery 

 reflexion is, in the hinder wings confined to the base, in xk^&fore wings expanded to the disk, but 

 entirely evanescent in a certain position towards the light; posterior border of the hinder wings 

 bearing a series of dark ocellate spots, of which two, at the anal angle, are of a deeper tint and 

 surrounded internally with bright rufous crescents ; the penultimate ocellus exceeds the last in 

 size and brilliancy of colour; all these ocelli are abruptly truncated behind, and the exterior 

 ones are surrounded internally with narrow white crescents ; a row of angular or wedge-shaped 

 marks of a brilliant white, having the points directed towards the disk, passes along the inner edge 

 of the marginal series ; the cilia are gray : underneath the wings are gray with a faint Isabellia- 

 yellow shade ; each pair is marked on the disk with a short transverse stigma, which in the hinder 

 ones is slightly curved ; the anterior wings have further three ranges of catenulated bands of a 

 brown colour, of which the two exterior are parallel with and adjoining the posterior margin, 

 being confined by the marginal strigffi ; the third, in which the catenulated character is more 

 distinctly exhibited, is intermediate between the marginal series and the disk ; this is continued 

 through the hinder pair, where it is more curved and somewhat irregular and infracted in its 

 course ; in the marginal series of ocellate spots, the interior ones form two strongly marked anal 

 ocelli ; these are regularly round, nearly equal in size and brilliancy of tint, intensely black, 

 encircled by a pale orange iris, bordered internally by a ring of yellow metallic iri'orations, which 

 is partially interrupted at the internal edge ; the hinder wings have further, four ocellate spots of 

 an intense black colour with white iris, three of these are placed in a transverse series at the base, 

 and a third, somewhat larger and more vivid, in the middle of the anterior margin close to the 

 costa. The thorax above has a blueish cast and is covered with delicate hairs, the abdomen is 

 brown ; underneath the thorax and legs are covered with a delicate pure white down and the 

 abdomen agrees in colour with the wings ; the antenna are banded with white. 



A single female specimen from Java is contained in our collection. Mr. Haworth possesses two males .: 

 the upper surface in these is uniformly pale violet blue, with a narrow grayish brown posterior border, and 

 two oblong black spots in the anal region, within the caudal appendage.
