Zomba, July and December 1892. This species is nearest to L. princeps, Butl. ; the description is imperfect, having been made from a damaged female example ; there can therefore be no absolute certainty in its identification excepting by a comparison with the type. The male of the species before m e is less brilliantly coloured than the female : shining lavender blue above ; the apical area and outer border of primaries dark brown, as also the costal area and sometimes a marginal border on the secondaries; the orange-zoned ocelli are slightly smaller than in the female. 84.
