.—Eyes of both sexes in life bluish grey dorsally, with broad median rusty-brown band and light ochreous ventral portions. Middle lobe of prothorax sky blue on dorsum, posterior portion of posterior prothoracic lobe dark brownish, largely obscuring blue colour in some animals. Dorsum of synthorax dark brown, antealar triangles brown, posterior alar processes with a small patch of blue. Lateral blue band framed narrowly with dark brown also below as far as metapleural suture, but metepimeron of contrasting golden-yellow coloration. Abdomen very dark brown on dorsum, except for ochreous basal portions in males and blue basal portions in females. In the latter, the blue coloration on S9 as well as on intersegmental membrane between S9 and S8 is markedly obscured with very dark brown proximally (

has been observed and photographed at only a few localities in the wider surroundings of Rambodde in central part of Sri Lanka. Its distribution is obviously limited to higher altitudes between 700 and 1,000 metres, although it has also been recorded as high as over 1,600 metres. It also seems to be very seasonal, as all records so far originate exclusively from July. Searches for the species in November have been unsuccessful at the known localities.

.—Preserved natural forest habitats with small streams and seepages in the central mountainous part of Sri Lanka are very scarce and highly fragmented. Water from them is extracted for consumption and irrigation, and remaining forest patches are converted to home gardens and domestic tea plantations. Therefore, the endemic
