Male above light cerulean blue, brilliantly metallic, outwardly 

 slightly violescent and less resplendent ; forewing with a slender black 

 marginal and costal line, hindwing blae from the costal vein to the sub- 

 median, a marginal black line. Beloiv rather dark fuscous brown, tho 

 markings darker, bordered by slightly paler lines, only the basal spots 

 annular, the other like parentheses, so ( ). Forewmg with three in the 

 cell, a transverse one below it, and one in the base of the lower median 

 space; The transverse discal baud is rather broad, the first four spots 

 united and compact, the first small, close to the costa, tho second broad- 

 est, the fifth and sixth dislocated inwardly, compactly united ; a sub- 

 marginal row of obscure dark spots bordered within and without by 

 obscure paler touches. Eindwincj with the basal spots of moderate size, 

 annular, a transverse discal series of nine spots in a tolerably regular 

 semicircle, all somewhat annular, none approaching the terminal cell- 

 streak ; a submarginal row of obscure dark cordate spots bordered with 

 paler, a slight metallic green streak in the lower median space, and a 

 similar band ft-om the lower median to the submedian vein, both bor- 

 dered with black. The lobe is small, black : there are slight projections 

 at the end of the lower median and submedian veins, but no distinct 

 tails ; the outer margin is regularly rounded without undulations. Expanse 

 two inches. 



Myitta. In the colour of the upperside this butterfly perhap.s re-

 near agelashis. But that species is more violet apically, and not dis- 

 tinctly metallic above ; below, the transverse bands are more regular ; 

 the costal spot of the forewing absent, and tho general colour duller, 

 more fuscous and less rufous.
