 and two very broad, incurved, slender black loops in cell of fore 

 wing ; two short transverse black lines at apex of cell in hind 

 wing; a broad, slightly curved, pure white macular discal band 

 across both fore and hind wings, narrowing posteriorly and ter- 

 minating on vein 1 of the latter, its outer and inner margins very 

 sinuous and irregular, especially on the fore wing, on which the 

 spots in interspaces 2 and 4 project beyond the others. This 

 band inwardly bordered with pale blue, on the hind wing well 

 denned by sinuous black lines on both sides. Beyond the band 

 posteriorly on the fore and along its whole length on the hind 

 wing is a broad shading of blue extending posteriorly to the dorsal 

 margin of the latter. Fore and hind wings with a broad, post- 

 discal, dark obscure band, on the fore wing with two superposed, 

 preapical, snow-white, obliquely placed spots, followed by a 

 transverse band of the green ground-colour from apex to dorsal 

 margin ; on the hind wing the postdiscal band is followed by a 

 much narrower interrupted transverse band of pale blue ; both 

 wings with the terminal margin velvety black ; cilia white, alter- 

 nated with black. Underside : the broad, white, macular discal 

 band as on the upperside, but on both fore and hind wings 

 denned by sinuous black lines ; these lines somewhat obsolescent 

 anteriorly on the fore wing ; basal area within the band bright 

 metallic greenish blue, this colour on the hind wing extending a 

 little diffusedly below and beyond the discal band ; ground-colour 

 of terminal portion of wings beyond the discal band dark ochra- 

 ceous green. Fore and hind wings with the usual basal black 

 markings ; fore wing with the preapical white spots and post- 

 discal dark band as on the upperside, the latter narrower, sinuous, 

 much more clearly denned and broadening posteriorly ; postdiscal 

 band on hind wing less distinct, terminating at tornal angle in a 

 black , — * — .-shaped mark. Antennae dark ochraceous brown; 

 head, thorax and abdomen dark greenish brown ; palpi, thorax 

 and abdomen beneath, white.
