Imago. —Male. Upperside of a brighter and clearer blue than in PI. onyx , the 
outer margin more convex, the white patch usually smaller, not usually extending 
below vein 2, the black outer marginal border narrowing hindwards. Hindwing with 
the upper tail (at the end of vein 3), in all the specimens we have seen, very short, not 
half as long as it is in onyx. Underside, ground colour similar. Forewing with the 
margins of the white band more even, making the band somewhat bottle-shaped. 
Hindwing with the band narrower, straighter, not constricted at its middle, the anal 
markings somewhat similar, but the space between the anal black spot and the black 
spot in the first interspace is white, speckled with black atoms, there is an extra sub¬ 
terminal small black spot in the third interspace and each spot and mark in each inter¬ 
space is capped with metallic blue-green scales. Antennse, head and body as in onyx. 
Female. Upperside dull bluish-grey. Forewing , with some blue scales on the 
basal portion; the white patch as in PI. onyx. Hindwing with some white on the 
middle of the costa and a small suffused whitish space in the middle of the wing, the 
ground colour of the wing paler than it is on the forewing. Underside as in the male. 
Expanse of wings, £ $ 1 to 1 t 2 q- inches. 
Habitat. —South India, Ceylon. 
Distribution. —The type came from Ceylon ; we have both sexes from Kandy and 
from Kanara; it is closely allied to H. onyx , but can always be recognized by the 
shortness of the tail at the end of vein 3.
