$. Upperside. — Primaries : Yelvety dense brownish-black , 

 with slight purple reflection : a series of three bluish-white spots 

 across and near to apex, the central much the largest, the lower 

 a mere speck ; two other round similar spots close to outer margin 

 below the middle. Secondaries : Soft dark brown, much darker 

 towards the base ; a sub-marginal band of eight dirty white spots, 

 of which the two central are double, the three towards apical 

 angle round, the anal three elongate ; all the spots are ill-defined 

 on their inner margin, softening gradually into the brown.
