  "Male. 
  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  brilliant 
  purple-bhie. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  

   the 
  costal 
  area 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  costal 
  nervure, 
  apex, 
  and 
  outer 
  margin 
  

   l)roadly 
  brownish-black, 
  the 
  black 
  outer 
  marginal 
  area 
  gradually 
  tapering 
  to 
  the 
  

   outer 
  angle. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  and 
  

   upper 
  subcostal 
  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  dusky 
  brown, 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  blue 
  

   streak 
  above 
  the

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  pale 
  ochraceous, 
  rather 
  darker 
  at 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  and 
  outer 
  margin, 
  crossed 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  from 
  

   the 
  costa 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  angle 
  by 
  an 
  ol)lique 
  broad 
  rufous-brown 
  band 
  edged 
  

   on 
  each 
  side 
  with 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  gold 
  spots 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  gold 
  spots 
  

   between 
  the 
  veins 
  parallel 
  with 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  the 
  spot 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  the 
  

   largest, 
  gradually 
  decreasing 
  in 
  size 
  ; 
  the 
  four 
  uppermost 
  spots 
  with 
  black 
  dots 
  

   on 
  the 
  inner 
  side, 
  a 
  rather 
  large 
  gold 
  spot 
  in 
  the 
  cell 
  near 
  its 
  upper 
  end, 
  and 
  

   three 
  gold 
  spots 
  between 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell

  the 
  rufous 
  band. 
  Posterior 
  

   wings, 
  basal 
  fourth 
  pale 
  ochraceous, 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  rather 
  darker, 
  a 
  streak 
  

   on 
  the 
  costa 
  at 
  the 
  l)ase, 
  a 
  broad 
  longitudinal 
  irregular 
  bar 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  a 
  

   little 
  before 
  the 
  apex 
  almost 
  intersected 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  and 
  joined 
  at 
  its 
  middle 
  

   by 
  another 
  bar 
  which 
  crosses 
  the 
  cell

  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  at 
  about 
  one-fourth

  distance 
  from 
  the 
  base

  across 
  the 
  disc 
  between 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervules 
  is 
  a 
  

   quadrangular 
  spot 
  which 
  is 
  confluent 
  with 
  a 
  triangular 
  spot 
  between 
  the 
  second 
  

   subcostal 
  and 
  the 
  discoidal 
  nervule, 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  contiguous 
  with 
  the 
  outer 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  bar 
  which
