sometimes there are three or four slender upper discal spots indicated by the 
presence of a few pale blue scales, in others all these spots are obsolescent; sub¬ 
marginal spots more or less indistinct, or obsolete, minute, white, the series never 
complete, and when present, the two lower and the two between the discoidal vein-

indicated before the apex; one or two, sometimes three lower, and one or two upper 
marginal minute spots are present. Sexual mark between the lower median and 
submedian vein elongated, clothed with widely-separated rather short bidentate and 
tridentate-tipt scales. Hindwing with a large pale ochreous upper discoidal patch 
and a broad cinereous anterior margin; a submarginal and a marginal row of 
whitish spots, the former row more or less oval towards the anal angle and slightly 
varying in length in different specimens, sometimes also both rows are ^composed of 
smaller and less defined spots or are entirely obsolescent. Underside paler olivescent- 
brown. Forewing with the small pale blue costal, cell, discal, lower submarginal 
and marginal white spots, as in upperside, the lower discal spot being much enlarged 
and violet-white; posterior margin broadly cinereous with a broad ochreous upper 
medial patch. Hindiving with both rows of whitish spots as in the upperside, with 
a small violet-white cell spot, and five or six small slender discal spots. Some white 
spots at base of wing. Female. Upperside as in male, except in the forewing 
having the posterior margin straight, and in the absence of the sexual mark. Fore - 
wing with small costal, cell, discal, and marginal spots present or obsolescent, as in 
that sex. Hindiving with similar marginal rows of spots. Underside as in male. 
Forewing with the cell spot sometimes lunate, and an elongated narrow streak above 
the pale posterior margin.
