Since writing tlie above I have been enabled to examine a male specimen of this species, 

 and find it is unicolorous and dark violaceous-blue above, and exactly resembling the female 

 beneath. It is evidently a ranch rarer insect than N. emtauruBf or at least more seldom met 

 with by collectors. Mr. Kirby has placed N. agnis as a synonym of the Sumatran species, 

 \. tniarte, Hew., but it is Buffieiently distinct for specific separation.

 broadly fuscous, tlu: fust- mis c ^1. l< ii i uIm. continued in a diKeo-cclliilar streak at end of cell; posterior 

 wings with the costal margin broadly and the posterior margin more, narrowly fuscous; apices of the 

 tail-like appendages greyish - white. Wings beneath pale brownish, with the following dark purplish or 

 pale brown spots and fasciae margined with greyish ; anterior wings with two looped spots in cell and a 

 subquadrate spot at end of cell, a fractured macular fascia between end of cell and outer margin, which ia 

 strongly dislocated at upper median nervule ; between this fascia and base are a series of large irregular 

 costal spots, a small spot beneath cell between the bases of the second and third median nervules, and 

 a more obscure and narrow, macular, sulmiar^iual fascia ; posterior witi^s with an irregular series of live 

 subcostal spots, beneath which are four smaller basal spots, a very irregular discal fascia extending from 

 lower subcostal nervule to abdominal margin, and an outer pale, waved fascia extending from the outer 

 subcostal spot to abdominal margin ; three transverse metallic greenish spots more or less shaded with 

 black near anal angle, where the outer margin is narrowly greyish. Body above and beneath, with legs, 

 more or less eoncolorous with wiugs. 



Male. I have not seen this sex, but, as figured by Doubleday and Hewitson, it is violaceous-blue 

 above, with the costal and outer margius narrowly dark fuscous, somewhat more broadly so at the apices 

 of both wings and at the anal angle of the posterior wings.
