proportionately narrower discal band that differs from that in 

 D. durga in the shape and arrangement of the spots on the fore 

 wing as follows : — Posterior three spots diffuse, decreasing in 

 size upwards (in D. durga they are nearly of the same width) 

 On the hind wing the discal band is not bordered by black lines 

 and its inner and outer margins are more even. Underside : 

 ground-colour entirely metallic greenish blue, the terminal halves 

 of the wings concolorous with the basal portions within the discal 

 band. 2 unknown.

c? 2 • Fore wing differs from that of the typical form in the 

 more acute apex and the slightly, not deeply, concave termen. 

 The hind wing has the tornus more produced. 6 . Upper- 

 side dusky olive-green. Fore wing : cell with a medial and an 

 apical pair of short, transverse, black, sinuous lines, the medial 

 pair extending into base of interspace 1 ; a dark-shaded very 

 diffuse and broad discal, somewhat curved area, margined on the 

 outer side anteriorly by four pale spots placed obliquely, below 

 these interspace 1 is broadly pale ; a dark incurved postdiscal 

 band and a terminal slender dark line. Hind wing : the discal 

 dark-shaded area and postdiscal band of the fore wing continued 

 as diffuse discal and postdiscal bands ; a large conspicuous 

 subcostal pale yellowish patch in interspaces 6 and 7, divided 

 longitudinally by vein 7, the lower portion divided transversely by 

 the discal band. Underside greenish ochraceous. Eore wing: the 

 markings as on the upperside, but the pale markings are much 

 more clearly defined, and form a prominent, posteriorly widening, 

 oblique discal band. Hind wing with slender, black, loop-like basal 

 markings and a nearly straight pale yellow discal band, defined on 

 both sides by rather diffuse black lines ; the postdiscal band as on 

 the upperside. Antenna? ochraceous ; head, thorax and abdomen 

 dusky greenish ; beneath paling to yellowish. — 2 • Upperside 

 similar, but darker. Eore wing : a broad oblique discal band 

 from costa to interspace 2, composed of elongate detached white 

 spots in the interspaces, two white spots beyond, nearer apex ; 

 the discal dark-shaded area and postdiscal dark diffuse band as 

 in the tf . Hind wing : no discal diffuse band or yellow sub- 

 costal patch ; a subcostal white spot in interspace 7 and another 

 in 6 ; postdiscal dark band as in the $ . Underside olive-green. 

 Eore wing : cellular markings, oblique white discal band, preapical 

 costal white spots, and postdiscal dark band as on the upperside ; a 

 large discal area up to bases of interspaces 1, 2 and 3 purplish
