  Male. 
  Upperside 
  bright 
  hhie, 
  shading 
  into 
  purphsh 
  in 
  some 
  hghts. 
  

   Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  eosta, 
  apical 
  portion 
  bej'oncl 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  hind 
  margin 
  

   broadly 
  blackish. 
  There 
  are 
  some 
  detached 
  greenish 
  scales 
  among 
  the 
  bine 
  ; 
  but 
  

   these 
  may 
  possibly 
  be 
  due 
  to 
  abrasion 
  or 
  discoloration, 
  as 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  

   symmetrical 
  on 
  both 
  sides. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  strongly 
  but 
  somewhat 
  irregularly 
  

   dcntated, 
  almost 
  lobate 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  nervures 
  towards 
  the 
  anal 
  angle, 
  and 
  

   with 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  inner 
  margin 
  broadly, 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  more 
  narrowly, 
  

   blackish. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  upper 
  half 
  pale 
  yellow, 
  the 
  lower 
  

   half 
  slaty-grey, 
  darkest 
  towards 
  the 
  base. 
  Along 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  a 
  pale 
  

   metallic-green 
  line 
  runs 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  ending 
  in 
  i,wo 
  short 
  dashes 
  followed 
  by 
  

   two 
  rounder 
  ones, 
  the 
  latter 
  of 
  a 
  very 
  pale 
  silvery 
  blue. 
  The 
  upper 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  

   is 
  pale 
  yellow, 
  below 
  which, 
  at 
  about 
  a 
  quarter 
  of 
  its 
  length, 
  commences 
  a 
  pale 
  

   metallic-blue 
  line, 
  which 
  curves 
  downwards 
  at 
  the 
  end, 
  but 
  does 
  not 
  reach 
  the 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  cell. 
  Below 
  this, 
  the 
  lower 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  dull 
  reddish 
  above, 
  

   and 
  dark 
  grey 
  below. 
  Beyond 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  below 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  round 
  

   silvery 
  spots 
  following 
  the 
  subcostal 
  stripe, 
  is 
  a 
  transverse 
  silvery 
  stripe, 
  edged 
  

   outside 
  by 
  a 
  narrow 
  blackish 
  line 
  across 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell. 
  Beyond 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  

   rufous 
  band 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  about 
  half 
  the 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  ; 
  its 
  

   lower 
  end 
  is 
  pointed, 
  and 
  slightly 
  turned 
  outwards. 
  It 
  is 
  bordered 
  with 
  pale 
  

   liluc 
  metallic 
  spots 
  of 
  different 
  shapes, 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  nervures, 
  and 
  narrowly 
  

   surrounded 
  with 
  black 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side, 
  however, 
  below 
  the 
  first 
  two, 
  they 
  

   are 
  reduced 
  to 
  a 
  few 
  metallic 
  specks 
  on 
  a 
  black 
  ground. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  reddish- 
  

   yellow 
  marginal 
  band, 
  ceasing 
  below 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervule, 
  and 
  marked
