Nearest to JE. Bellona, Walker. Both wings with a similar- 

 shaped broad blue-black marginal band, which is, however, with- 

 out markings, except a faint short streak beyond end of the cell 

 of the fore wing ; the basal area is also bright yellow, the black 

 basal broad streaks being replaced by a few similarly-disposed 

 small spots, which in the female are somewhat confluent ; and 

 the cell-spot on the hind wing is either obsolescent, or present 

 only as a narrow lunular mark (whereas in JE. Bellona the cell- 

 spot is very large, of an irregular rounded shape, and is accom- 

 panied by a geminate inner marginal spot). 



Expanse 3g inches.
