J Fale, silky, violaceous-hlue, with luide pale sandy-brown pink-tinged 
borders; bases tinged with deep 'purplish blue; cilia lohite throughout, 
Fore-iving : blue space separate from basal dark blue, occupying inner 
margin as far as posterior angle, but leaving a hind-marginal border 
widening to the apex, and a costal border so greatly widening to the 
basal dark-blue as almost to touch the inner margin ; inner edge of the 
discal blue strongly defined by a dentictdate raised line of paler blue. 
Hind-wing : borders somewhat similar, but that of the hind-margin of 
even width ; the inner edge of discal blue similarly defined about the 
origin of the subcostal nervules ; two indistinct fuscous hind-marginal 
spots between the second median nervule and anal angle, the superior 
one the larger, and traces of other dark spots along rest of hind-margin. 
Under side. — Much resembling that of Z. Jesous. For e- wing : the 
black and ferruginous subcostal stripe ending before the extremity of 
the cell; no spot in the cell ; the short streak closing the cell straighter 
and narrower than in Jesous ; the submacular transverse white-edged 
fascia commencing farther from the costa and from the base, not so 
oblique, curved inwardly rather than outwardly, its terminal separate 
spot much closer to, and almost immediately below, the closing streak 
of cell ; submarginal lunulate streak more denticulate, obsolete infe- 
riorly ; no hind-marginal black dots, but indistinct brownish marks ; 
between the end of the subcostal stripe and the beginning of the sub- 
macular transverse fascia, a longitudinal rotu of three black white-ringed 
dots, of which the middle one is the largest. Hind-iving : basal stripe 
much thinner ; third black spot of sub-basal row as large as the first 
and second, the fourth indistinct (the reverse being the case in Jesous) ; 
second spot of discal fascia elongate and oblique, instead of round ; 
hind-marginal markings differing as in fore-wing ; the two hind- 
marginal black spots next anal angle without any bluish scaling. 
$ Pale, glistening sandy-broiun, %vith a faint pi7ikish gloss, but with- 
out the bluish bases,^ whitish discs, or terminal cellular spots so well 
marked in Jesous. Hind-ioing : two fuscous spots more apparent than 
in the or in Jesous Under side. — As in J, but the ground-colour 
1 A 9 since received from Burghersdorp, Cape Colony, has the bases suffused with dark 
greyish -blue.
