Exp. al., ($) I iu. 6-7I lin. ; (?) I in. 7I-9 lin. 
$ Pale rather dull violaceous-Uice ivith a slight pinldsh tinge ; a 
narroio hind-marginal fuscous edging linear in hind-wing ; cilia 
fuscous-grey with white tipis, — hetiveen extremities of second median 
nervide and suhnedian nervure of hind-wing also vjhitish at origin. 
Fore-iuing : a slender, sublunulate, terminal disco-cellular striola ; costa 
very narrowly edged with fuscous, slightly radiating on subcostal 
nervules. Hind-ioing : costa bordered with fuscous-grey above first 
subcostal nervule ; between first and second subcostal nervules, a 
hind-marginal fuscous mark, sometimes succeeded inferiorly by very 
indistinct traces of a hind-marginal series of similar marks ; the spot 
between first and second median nervules small, rounded, well-defined, 
black, bordered inwardly by a broad orange-yellow lunule ; tail on first 
median nervule rather short, black, white-tipped. Under side. — 
Almost the same as in Parsimon, but the ground-colour usually darker ; 
the terminal disco-cellular lunule (in hoth wings) more or less angidated 
outwardly ; and the discal row narrower^ more macular, and not so close 
to the inner (sagittiform) suhmarginal lunules. Hind-wing : only three 
spots in suh-hascd row, — the spot which in Parsimon lies between median 
and submedian nervures being absent ; these spots, as well as those at 
beginning and end of discal row, always very distinctly marked, but 
smaller than in Parsimon. 
$ Bather hroadly bordered costally and hhid-marginally luith dark 
b7vwnish-greg, the discal area in both wings being paler and very ividely 
shot from bases with bright lilac-blue inclining to a pink tinge ; markings 
almost the same as in Parsimon ^. Fore-iuing : terminal disco-cellular 
marking very broad, more so than in Parsimon, and more or less 
angulated both inwardly and outwardly. Hind-iuing : blue suff'usion
