and inner vein, the tuft overlapping a glandular patch of scales ; precostal vein slightly 
curved; subcostal ending below the apex, radial emitted from subcostal branch at 
some distance from the latter; cell open; lower median emitted opposite base of dis- 
cocellular, upper and middle medians at some considerable distance beyond; sub- 
median and inner vein much recurved from the base. Body moderately stout; palpi 
rather short, projected forward to level of vertex, compressed laterally, clothed with 
short appressed hair-scales, end of second joint above more hairy, apical joint 
conical; forelegs of male very short, thickly clothed to the tip with short hairs ; 
forelegs of female laxly scaly, tarsus dilated towards the extremity and slightly 
truncate at tip, the spines slender and sharp-pointed; antennae slender, with an 
elongated slender gradually-formed club ; eyes naked.

Imago. —Male. Upperside. Both wings dark blue-black, the basal area palest 
and thickly irrorated with light blue scales. Forewing with a narrow black slightly 
angulated streak crossing end of the cell but not quite touching the median vein ; a 
broad discal outwardly-oblique pale blue band (of a lilacine or cobalt tint in certain 
lights) extending from the costa to the posterior angle, and traversed through its 
middle area by two more or less indistinctly-defined white costal streaks and a row 
of five lower obliquely-dentiform decreasing irrorated white streaks, one in each 
interspace from lower subcostal to lower median, the blue band being variable in 
width, in the male from four-tenths to five-tenths of an inch, and it generally 
includes the black cell-streak ; the inner edge of the band is, generally, regular and 
speckled, its outer edge being more defined and irregular; beyond is an apical series 
of five superposed rounded lilacine-white spots, of which the lower first and third 
are very small and generally indistinct or obsolete. Findwing with two elongated 
lilacine-white spots at the extreme apical margin divided by the upper submarginal 
veinlet; a slender lilacine-white interrupted wavy marginal line extending from anal 
angle to near the outer caudal angle; the glandular tuft of hairs reddish-ochreous. 
Underside pale olivescent-buff or brownish-ochreous, with dark brown markings. 
Forewing with a broad dark brown posterior marginal area, a narrow outer marginal 
middle line, a looped-spot at base of the cell, two superposed annular spots in the 
middle and a W-shaped mark near its end continued to the costa, the discocellulars
