in its central portion ; near apex, on costa, a narrow, pale-yellow, 
transverse streak joins the large oclire-yellow marking, the point of 
junction being marked by a more or less apparent black spot, which is 
sometimes indistinctly ocellate ; bordering apical portion of hind-margin 
three or four sublunular, dusky-whitish marks ; cilia brownish, indis- 
tinctly varied with whitish. Hind-iuing : a large, rounded, metallic- 
blue spot shot with violet-pink near costa about middle, its lower 
portion in discoidal cell, its upper edge touching costal nervure ; beyond 
it, occupying anal-angular portion of wing, extending along hind-margin 
to before its middle, and almost to middle of inner margin, a large, 
ovate, ochre-yellow patch, paler in its central portion ; at anal angle, a 
curved, short, blackish streak, and traces of a lunulate hind-marginal 
line ; cilia as in fore-wing. Under side. — Strikingly dissimilar to 
upper side. Fore-wing : black replaced by dull ashy-grey ; ochre- 
yellow patch paler, ill-defined, commencing from base in discoidal cell ; 
costa whitish-grey from base ; two pairs of slightly zigzag, transverse, 
thin, black streaks in discoidal cell, each pair including a whitish-grey 
space ; a sinuate blackish streak, from costa about middle to insertion 
of second median nervule, marks extremity of cell ; apex hoary-grey ; 
the streak joining ochreous patch from costa whitish, — the spot mark- 
ing point of junction distinct ; a blue-pupillate, round, black spot 
marks the lower indentation of the ochreous patch. Hind-wing : hoary- 
grey ; three transverse, brownish, waved, subdentate streaks — one 
before, the second about, the third beyond, middle — the second of 
which is the most distinct and regular ; between the latter and the 
third a series of small blackish spots between nervules, parallel to 
hind-margin ; ochreous patch very faintly indicated by a slightly 
yellowish tinge ; centre and hind-margin varied with narrow shadings 
of pale- brown ; in some specimens, a narrow, lunulate, brown streak 
bordering hind-margin ; no trace of the blue spot so conspicuous on 
upper side. 
$ Ground-colour not so intense a black as in ^ ; the hlue spot 
in hind-wing smaller and much didler (the edges of it not so clearly 
defined), Fore-iving : basal half of discoidal cell dusted with ochreous 
scales, and with a short, indistinct, transverse, ochreous streak, situate 
a little within the large ochre-yellow patch ; which latter commences 
farther from base than in does not extend so low, is more deeply 
indented with black both on its upper and lower edge, and contains a 
transverse black streak which, as on under side of ^, indicates extremity 
of discoidal cell ; the ocellate spot marking the junction of pale apical 
streak with ochreous patch more distinct than in ^, and blue-pupilled ; 
the lower black indentation of the ochreous patch is also marked with 
a larger ocellate spot, likewise blue-centred. Hind-7ving : two small 
black spots, sometimes blue-centred, in ochreous patch, one on its upper 
edge above discoidal nervule, the other between second and first median 
nervules ; the lunulate streak bordering hind-margin distinctly marked,
