inner-bordering of the latter being ochreous-white with a few blue scales crossing 
the sub-marginal spots; the anal and two next spots in lower median interspace 
scarlet-bordered, the submedian interspace above the former being thickly white 
scaled ; basal intersected patch scarlet. 
Expanse, d 5, ? 5 to 5J inches. 
The above description and our figures 1 d, and la ?, on Plate 446, are from 
Sikkim specimens, taken in August by Mr. Otto Moiler, now in Mr. W. Rothschild’s 
collection at Tring ; figure lb is from a Sikkim female in our own possession. The 
type specimen described by Robbe was taken at Kurseong, Sikkim.

Male (fig. 1, la). Upperside blue-black, or olivescent bluish-black; cilia alter¬ 
nated with white. . Forewing with greyisli-blue scaled longitudinal streaks entirely 
bordering the outer veins to the margin, and less-defined similar streaks within the 
cell; base of the cell either without, or with a slender scarlet scaled streak, or 
frequently with a prominent narrow, or more rarely a broad scarlet patch is present. 
Hindwing with greyish-blue scaled broad streaks between the outer veins, extending 
to near the margin ; a few similar coloured scales are also scattered within apex of 
the cell; occasionally a marginal row of blacker oval spots than the ground colour 
are somewhat apparent, of which the anal spot rarely show a few outer-bordering 
red scales. Underside. Foreiving with broader and paler bluish-grey streaks, and a 
broad scarlet basal cell-patch. Hindwing darker blue-black or purpurescent-black, 
the outer border and edges of the outer veins generally paler or sometimes greyish- 
black ; base of wing with a vein intersected scarlet patch; a marginal series of more 
or less apparent or well-defined black oval spots, and a submarginal similar series of 
conical spots, of which latter the anal spot is small and generally oval; the anal 
spot in both series is bordered or ringed with ochreous-red or scarlet, and the next 
one, and sometimes the second, of both rows are also red-bordered, and occasionally 
the fourth of the inner row; in specimens where the two series of black spots are 
less apparent beyond the red-bordered anal pair, their division is generally indicated 
by a bordering series of blue scales ; the red borders of the anal spots are also 
sometimes sprinkled with blue scales. Body , legs, and antennae black; front of 
thorax and head white-spotted.
