^ Shining violaceous-blue ; hind-margins rather widely lordered ivith 
fuscous, which in hind-iving is suhmacular and traversed in its outer por- 
tion hy a fine interrupted ivhite line more pronounced inferiorly ; cilia 
white, irregularly varied ivith didl fuscous in fore-iving, chiefly ahout 
extremities of nervulcs^ not, or very slightly so, varied^ in hind-wing. 
Fore-iuing : a large, broad, conspicuous, terminal disco-cellular, fuscous 
lunule ; sometimes, beyond it, two or three smaller fuscous spots repre- 
senting some of the irregular discal row of tlie under side. Hincl-iving : 
costa bordered witb greyish-fuscous ; immediately preceding hind- 
marginal border a series of more or less indistinct thin lunulate white 
marks, usually obsolete in upper part of wing ; a rather long, twisted, 
subspatulate, black, white-tipped tail on first median nervule. Under 
SIDE. — White J faintly tinged luith yellowish^ with very numerous and 
well-defined mostly rouiuled Hack spots ; in each wing a disco-cellular 
terminal lunule, an irregular discal row, two regular sid)inarginal rows 
of spots, and a hind-marginal hlacJc line. Fore-ioing : costa narrowly 
edged with black from a little before middle to apex ; a strongly- 
marked longitudinal black streak from base inferiorly bounding costal 
nervure almost to its extremity ; below this an oblique upward-curving 
irregular black streak, from between median and submedian nervures, 
penetrating discoidal cell rather beyond its middle ; inner margin 
narrowly edged with fuscous-grey ; a minute spot immediately above 
terminal disco-cellular lunule ; discal row highly irregular, its six spots 
(exclusive of a minute one next costa) arranged obliquely in pairs, the 
spots confluent in the middle and lower pairs ; submarginal rows of 
six spots each, the inner row with larger spots, increasing in size down- 
ward. Hind-ioing : at base a short black streak from costal to sub- 
median nervure ; a sub-basal row of four spots ; irregular discal row of 
eight spots, of which the third and fifth are farthest from base ; inner 
submarginal row of eight, outer of seven spots, — the last three or four 
of outer row spangled with bluish-silvery exteriorly. 
$ Fuscous, luith more or less ivhite on discs, on lohich the terminal 
disco-cellular lunules, part of discal roio of spots, and {in hind-wing) sub- 
marginal roivs of spots are more or less conspicuously shown, but more 
suffusedly than on under side; bases rather thinly and narrowly suffused 
with violaceous blue, extending along inner iiiargins to a little beyond 
middle. Under side. — As in
