Description : " The British Museum also contains both sexes of an allied species [to Z. luxen'i*] from India, the MALE of which is distinguished by its more acuminated /ore- zving, destitute of the pale spot near the tip ; the broad lilac bar of Z. luxerii is replaced by a much narrower and more curved blue bar ; the hindwing has the tail much less acuminated ; the lilac patch of this wing is replaced by a very broad blue fascia, which extends to the anal angle ; the middle of the discoidal cell has an elongate-ovate smooth spot desti- tute of hairs (which may, however, have been abraded). [Underside] the dark brown streak across both wings is curved towards the tip at its junction with the costa, and the second and third median nervules " {ButUr, 1. c in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond.)
