Hind wing: a tolerably broad discal white band traversed by the black veins ; a postdiscal trans- verse series of minute white dots in continuation of that on the fore wing; an inner subterminal series of elongate whitish markings and an outer subterminal slender white lunu- lar broad line, followed by a terminal dark line. Antennas, head, thorax and abdomen black; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen dark purplish brown. 2 . Upperside dark velvety brown, paling towards the outer margins. Fore wing : an oblique series of rich iridescent blue spots from just below middle of costa to interspace 3, a postdiscal sinuous transverse series of white spots, an inner subterminal series of short transverse white narrow markings in the interspaces, and an outer subterminal series of white lunules. Hind wing: a post- discal transverse series of white spots followed by a series of double cone-shaped white marks, two in each interspace, and an outer subterminal series of white lunules. Underside dull brown. Fore wing: minute white flecks on, and one or two white spots just below, basal half of costal margin ; an oblique discal series of spots, two preapical spots, a postdiscal transverse series of spots, an inner subterminal series of somewhat cone-shaped marks and an outer subterminal series of lunules white, often sullied with yellowish. Hind wing as on the upperside, but with the addition of a very broad discal, somewhat diffuse, and obscure whitish trans- verse band, and the cone-shaped inner subterminal white markings of the upperside more continuous, separated only by the slende
