thickens towards the apex; a narrow outer marginal black band which thins hind- 
wards. Hindwing with a slender marginal black line. Underside pearly bluish- 
white ; with blue basal irrorations, markings black. Forewing with a pale linear mark 
at the end of the cell; a discal row of linear marks in interspaces 2 to 5, the mark 
in interspace 3 the longest, the row completed by an inward sub-costal spot. Hindwing 
with three sub-basal spots, the first sub-costal, the second below the middle, and the 
third close to the abdominal margin and more inwards; a discal row of spots, the 
upper one close to the costa a little beyond the middle, with a spot a little inwardly 
below it; four spots in the disc, in a curve, one outwardly below the last, another 
small spot close to it, and one close to the abdominal margin a little beyond the 
middle; both wings with sub-terminal greyish lunules; in many examples the 
markings are more or less obsolescent. Cilia white, with some blackish points at the 
ends of the veins on the forewing. Antennae black, ringed with white ; head and
