Race andersoni, Moore. — $ 2 . Closely resembles the typical 

 form in the shape of the wings, in colour and markings ; but on 

 the upperside the terminal band on both fore and hind wing is 

 rich purplish blue, not grey, and in the $ has a more or less 

 distinct outer edging of the ground-colour of the wings. On the 

 underside the resemblance is still greater, the colours only being 

 brighter, the markings identical.
