  Female. 
  Upperside 
  dark 
  brown, 
  anterior 
  wings 
  dusted 
  with 
  creamy-white 
  

   below 
  the 
  cell 
  ; 
  the 
  lower 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  also 
  dusted 
  with 
  white, 
  beyond 
  which 
  

   in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  disc 
  is 
  a 
  whiter 
  and 
  broader 
  pale 
  area. 
  The 
  upperside 
  

   resembles 
  that 
  of 
  H. 
  Theon 
  Felder, 
  $ 
  , 
  but 
  the 
  pale 
  area 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  more 
  restricted, 
  and 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  only 
  

   slightly 
  paler 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  above 
  the 
  first 
  subcostal 
  nervure, 
  where 
  

   the 
  white 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  underside 
  shows 
  indistinctly 
  through 
  the 
  wings. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  white 
  (though 
  less 
  broadly 
  than 
  in 
  H. 
  Theon, 
  ? 
  ), 
  

   the 
  costal 
  area 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  upper 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  cell, 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  

   blackish 
  brown 
  with 
  metallic 
  markings, 
  but 
  shading 
  into 
  buff 
  externally, 
  to 
  the 
  

   fringes, 
  which 
  are 
  blackish, 
  irregularly 
  tipped 
  with 
  whitish. 
  The 
  subcostal 
  

   nervure 
  is 
  bordered 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic 
  blue 
  band 
  (greener 
  

   towards 
  the 
  base), 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  metallic 
  green 
  band 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  

   through 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  which 
  curves 
  upwards, 
  somewhat 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell, 
  

   to 
  the 
  subcostal 
  metallic 
  band. 
  From 
  this 
  point 
  the 
  latter 
  curves 
  downwards 
  to 
  

   above 
  the 
  upper 
  median 
  nervule, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  united 
  by 
  a 
  short 
  line 
  to 
  another 
  

   metallic-blue 
  stripe 
  curving 
  from 
  the 
  costa. 
  Below 
  the 
  point 
  of 
  junction, 
  and 
  

   between 
  the 
  two 
  upper 
  median 
  nervules 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  metallic 
  patch, 
  which 
  in 
  

   H. 
  Theon 
  is 
  only 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  small 
  spot. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  black, 
  with 
  broad 
  

   metallic 
  markings 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  oblique 
  white 
  stripe 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  narrower 
  

   than 
  in 
  H. 
  Theon, 
  and 
  narrowly 
  bordered 
  above, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  basal 
  half 
  below 
  

   with 
  metallic-blue 
  ; 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic 
  stripe 
  runs 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  

   to 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  white 
  band, 
  where 
  it 
  ceases 
  ; 
  its 
  outer 
  

   portion 
  is 
  bordered 
  with 
  white 
  above. 
  Beyond 
  this 
  point, 
  commences 
  a 
  sub-
