rounded, wxttt a single slender tail-like appendage at apes of lower median nervule ; costal aervurc strongly 

 arched and extending to near apex, first subcostal nervule emitted at about one* fourth before the end of 

 cell ; first and second median nervule s with an apparently common origin at end of cell, third from about 

 centre of cell. Palpi porreet, second joint broadly squamose, third joint Jong and slender. Antennae with 

 a well-formed apical club which is excavated beneath. 



This genus is widely distributed: from Continental India, it extends throughout the 

 Malayan Archipelago, and has been generally found among the islands of the Southern Seas* 

 At present only three species can be here enumerated,

Male. Wings above pale lavender- blue, the outer margins narrowly dart fuscous, the fringe pale 

 fuscous, with the tips greyish-white ; posterior wings with a large black marginal spot between the second 

 and fciiird median nervnlea, a narrow transverse black streak bordered with greyi&h at anal angle, the 

 abdominal margin bluish- grey, the tail -like appendage black with the apex white. Wings beneath verv 

 pale greyish -brown, with the following linear greyish -white faacise arranged in pairs ; — anterior with two 

 disco-cellular at end of cell, two extending from fourth subcostal nervule to middle median nervule, 

 beneath which, contiguous to their inner margin, are two extending to inner margin, and a marginal 

 and two suhmarginal somewhat waved linear fascim of the Bame colour ; posterior wings with two at end 

 of cell, two very irregularly waved and broken crossing wing beyond middle, and marginal and waved 

 submargmal fasciee, two Bmall greyish margined spots near base, one in cell and one beneath median 

 ihu'vuiv, ;i large black marginal spot, containing a few scattered greenish scales and inwardly and broadly 

 margined with ochraceous between second and third median nervules, some transverse black spotB also 

 inwardly margined with ochraceous at anal angle, and with two blackish spots margined with greyish 

 beneath the costal nervuro. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Wings above pale brownish ; anterior wings with the disk more or less bright violaceous- 

 blue, beyond which there are indications of a double suhmarginal series of waved and broken greyish linear 

 fascial, becoming quite obsolete towards apex ; posterior wings with a distinct double suhmarginal series 

 of waved and broken greyish linear fascife, with a large marginal black spot inwardly and very broadly 

 margined with ochraceous situate between the second and third median nervules, and a series of more of 

 less distinct dark marginal spots. Wings beneath as in male. 



Exp. wings, ^ and ? , 2G to 32 milliin.
