with and beyond tlie rest, the upper two almost united, and the lower 
two (between third and first median nervules) a little apart ; costa 
yellow-ochreous at and near base, with a reddish stain. Hind-wing : 
blue occupies entire cellular and discal area, being bounded superiorly 
by subcostal nervure and its second nervule, inferiorly by submedian 
nervure, and externally by a hind-marginal border rapidly narrowing 
inferiorly ; lower part of hind-marginal border traversed by an ill- 
defined ochre-red streak widening on anal-angular projection. Under- 
side : didl, pale ochreotts-yelhw, with nuineroios {mostly large) silvery- 
lohite spots, distinctly ontlined tuith black, and further less regidarly edged 
ivith ferruginous. Fore-wing : the following silvery markings, viz., 
along costal border and superiorly touching its edge, a moderate-sized 
longitudinally ovate spot close to base, — two large transversely-lying 
spots (or short bands), one crossing discoidal cell, the other just beyond 
its extremity, — a smaller and shorter but similarly-shaped spot beyond 
that last named, and a still smaller one just before apex ; two sub- 
marginal spots, one small and round, between lower radial and third 
median nervules, the other large and elongate on the median nervules ; 
another spot (the smallest on the wing) in discoidal cell below and 
slightly beyond basal spot on costa ; between first median nervule and 
submedian nervure, a very large superiorly arched and black-edged 
but inferiorly and interiorly ill-defined white patch, slightly silvery in 
its upper part ; traces of a ferruginous line very near and parallel to 
hind-margin, which is narrowly edged with black. Hind-iuing : the 
following silvery spots, viz., at base, one in size and shape like that 
in fore-wing, but placed transversely ; before middle, a transverse row 
of four, of which the first is large and very round, between costal and 
subcostal nervures, — the second in discoidal cell, also rounded, but very 
much smaller, — the third very small, and with the fourth (smaller, 
quadrate, and farther from base) situate on inner margin ; and about 
and beyond middle an irregular series of four very large differently- 
shaped spots (the central one, just at extremity of cell, the largest and 
roundest, and the lowest, on inner margin, very elongate and crossed 
by a black line), and two very small ones, situate respectively below 
upper and middle large spots ; two very small similar spots respectively 
at the beginning and end of a submarginal ferruginous streak ; a 
blackish spot on anal-angular projection ; hind-margin narrowly edged 
I with black. 
Head reddish-brown ; a conspicuous white spot on vertex and two 
smaller ones in front ; palpi white with black tips ; antennge dark 
I reddish-brown with cream-coloured tips ; eyes narrowly edged with 
white ; thorax brown beneath, spotted with white ; legs reddish-brown, 
1 barred here and with white, and with tufts of white hair on coxse ; 
j abdomen black, with white segmental stripes on the sides and beneath. 
(Described from a single specimen in worn condition, in which the 
tails and part of the anal-angular lobe of the hind-wings are wanting.)
