spot ; an oval black spot between the lowest and middle median nervule ; one white tail, margin narrowly 
black ; cilia white, spotted with black at the tips of the veins. 
Underside. Anterior wings rufous-orange, a rather broad rufous band on the outer margin ; inner 
margin narrowly grey ; an indistinct short white line, edged externally with brown near the outer angle 
at the inner edge of the rufous band ; an indistinct, interrupted, transverse grey line beyond the middle, 
becoming obsolete towards the costa. Posterior wings rufous-orange, the apical third of the margin 
rather broadly rufous, below which to the anal angle there is a rather broad marginal white band, narrowly 
black on the margin, in which, at the anal angle, is a black spot ; beyond the tail is another black spot 
crowned with a brown bar, and connected with the anal spot by two narrow dark brown bars, and two smaller 
black spots beyond, the first of which has a narrow brown bar above it ; above the spots and bars and 
extending nearly to the apex are a row of lunular white markings, edged narrowly with brown, and 
towards the middle an indistinct Y-shaped white line. 
Female .— Upperside as in the male, but paler ; the blue area on the posterior wings is narrower and 
greyer, with a submarginal row of five ill-defined black spots, the middle and anal spots being the largest. 
Underside as in the male, but posterior wings paler and yellower. 
Expanse of wings, d 1-J-, $ lj inch.

Male .— Upperside. Anterior wings dark blue, base and costa narrowly, outer margin broadly, black, 
the inner margin towards the base projecting. Posterior wings rather brighter blue, the lower part of 
the outer margin strongly emarginate, with three black tails tipped with white, the middle tail much the 
longest; a black band on the margins, broadest above the tails ; a narrow white line between the tw'o 
lowest tails, and above it and the black band is a rather broad brownish-white spot, broadest next the 
abdominal fold ; a faint indication across the middle of the black line on the underside ; on the costal 
margin a broad shiny patch devoid of scales. 
Underside. Anterior wings dull brownish white at the base, gradually becoming greyish brown at 
the apex and outer margin. Posterior wings brownish white, with a submarginal band from the apex to 
the anal angle, brown at the apex, changing to black above the tails, and at the anal angle centred vdth a 
thin metallic blue line ; above the submarginal band is a second slightly irregular band, brown and linear 
near the apex, changing to black and broader towards the anal angle ; cilia white. 
Female .— Upperside. Both wings entirely brown except the narrow wdiite line between the two tails 
on the posterior wings and a small white s ot above the anal angle. 
Underside as in the male. 
Expanse of wings, 6 lj, $ inch. 
Nearest to S. cinesia and S. maneia, Iiewitson. 
The female is smaller than the male, a peculiarity noted by Mr. Hewitsoh with regard to S. cinesia.
