Warm-brown^ with a tinge of ochreous ; fore-wing ivith cellular blue 
strioe ; a dull-red hand crossing hoth luings. Fore-wing : three bluish, 
slender, transverse stria3 edged with black in discoidal cell ; a broader, 
sometimes ill-defined, inwardly black-edged, bluish streak from costa 
j ust beyond extremity of cell ; a whitish- violaceous stripe from costa 
beyond middle becomes merged, on third median nervule, with a dull 
ochreous-red band parallel to hind-margin ; this red band commences 
on costa, close to apex, with a narrow macular streak of dark-red 
(sometimes half-obliterated) ; a row of seven pale-bluish spots — all 
conspicuously white-centred except the first (and rarely the fifth) — 
parallel to hind-margin, four spots being before the dark-red streak 
from costa, and three in the red band ; bordering hind-margin are 
two more or less distinct, lunulate, blue streaks ; fringe dull-whitish, 
spotted with brown at extremities of nervules. Hind-iving : dull-red 
band, continuous of that in fore-wing, completely crosses wing from 
costa to inner margin a little before anal angle, and contains five small, 
bluish-white, black-ringed spots, between first subcostal and third 
median nervules ; a slightly darker shade externally bounds red band ; 
and a dark-brown, dentated streak runs near and parallel to hind- 
margin ; anal angle irrorated with pale-blue scales ; fringe as in fore- 
wing, but the brown marks not so distinct. Under side. — Darh-hrown 
(varied luith lightei^-hrown, and crossed hy transverse greyish faseim) to 
heyond middle of hoth ivings ; where, in place of the dull-red band of 
the U2^per side, is a whitish-ochreous one — the inner fork of the band, 
on costa, being the whitest portion — tinged with reddish or ochreous, 
particularly in hind-wing, and generally ill-defined outwardly ; the row
