J Black, with a few Mice dots. Fore-iuing : dusted with a few blue 
scales ; beyond middle, close to costa, a shining-blue dot : sometimes two 
faint blue dots at posterior angle. Hiiul-iving : near anal angle, parallel 
to hind-margin, a row of inter-nervular shining-blue dots ; on hind- 
margin, above third median nervule, one or two dull-red lunules ; from 
third median to anal angle, some greenish-ochreous lunules ; a rather 
slender tail at extremity of both first and third median nervules, — the 
former the longer of the two. Under side. — Dull brownish-olivaceous , 
with blue-black, occasionally white-edged, transverse striae ; an irregular 
streak from costa of fore-wing near apex, to near anal angle of hind- 
wing, running near, and almost parallel to, hind-margins. Fore-wing : 
two dusky-blackish spots near anal angle. Hind-iving : red and oliva- 
ceous lunules much more distinct than on upper side ; the transverse 
streak crossing both wings is in this wing immediately succeeded by a 
row of dull-red lunular markings. 
$ Bivwnish-hlacJc, glossed ivith violet-Uue : transversely striped and 
spotted with white. Fore-iuing : on costa, a little beyond middle, com- 
mences a'^ transverse row of white spots, interrupted on second discoidal 
nervule, and from third median nervule widening into a gradually- 
broader band of contiguous white spots, violet-margined on each side, 
to inner margin a little beyond middle ; on costa, near apex, com- 
mences a second row of smaller white spots, tinged with ochreous or 
bluish, extending to below first median nervule, where the two lowest 
spots usually join the broad central band. Hind-wing : white, violet- 
margined band of fore-wing continued more broadly across middle of 
this wing to just before anal angle ; a row of seven more or less dis- 
tinct white lunules parallel to hind-margin ; on hind-marginal edge 
the olivaceous and red lunules are larger and distincter than in ^, those 
of the latter colour extending nearly to apex ; unlike what is found in 
the tail on third median is rather longer and broader than that on 
first median nervule. Under side. — Similar to that of ^, hut paler
