 <$ 2 • Fore wing : costa arched, apex pointed and produced ; 

 termen slightly concave below apex, convex posteriorly ; tornus 

 rounded, dorsum slightly convex; cell broad, moderately long, about 

 half length of fore wing ; upper discocellular very short, middle 

 short and vertical, lower slightly concave, long and oblique ; vein 1 

 angulated upwards at base, 4 angulated upwards one-third from 

 base, with a transverse upward-directed spur at the angle ; vein 11

<$ . Upperside brownish black. Fore wing with a broad curved 

 discal bar, narrowing posteriorly, extending from costa to near 

 apex of vein 2 ; hind wing with a terminal broad patch between 

 veins 1 and 4 metallic purplish blue. Underside brown. Fore 

 wing : cell crossed by three pale lilacine bands and beyond shaded 

 with lilacine. Hind wing shaded on the basal half with the same 

 tint, turning to a more decided pinkish lilac broadly along the 

 dorsal margin. Both fore and hind wing crossed by a conspicuous 

 narrow brown discal bar, followed on the hind wing by an 

 ochraceous ocellus in interspace 2 and another in interspace 6. 

 Antennae dark red ; head, thorax and abdomen dark brown. 



2 . Upperside paler brown than in the 6 . Fore wing with a 

 somewhat similar discal band but creamy white in colour, not
