  Posterior 
  wings 
  

   white, 
  with 
  two 
  parallel 
  brownish-lilack 
  bands, 
  one 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  another 
  

   below 
  it, 
  from 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  a 
  little 
  before 
  its 
  middle, 
  crossing 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  

   ceasing 
  on 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure, 
  both 
  bands 
  bordered 
  by 
  silvery 
  azure-blue 
  ; 
  

   the 
  disc 
  is 
  crossed 
  by 
  a 
  third 
  black 
  band 
  from 
  a 
  little 
  above 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  to 
  

   the 
  costal 
  margin 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  where 
  it 
  joins 
  another 
  outer-marginal 
  dark 
  band, 
  

   the 
  two 
  bands 
  enclosing 
  a 
  rather 
  narrow 
  white 
  area 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  band 
  is 
  bordered 
  

   on 
  both 
  sides 
  by 
  silvery 
  blue 
  lines, 
  that 
  on 
  its 
  inner 
  side 
  only 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  

   lowest 
  median 
  nervule 
  ; 
  the 
  marginal 
  dark 
  band 
  is 
  traversed 
  by 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  silvery 
  

   blue 
  spots 
  divided 
  by 
  the 
  veins.

  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  brownish-black, 
  with 
  the 
  cells 
  and 
  inner 
  

   discal 
  areas 
  brilliant 
  shining 
  blue, 
  tinged 
  with 
  purple 
  in 
  certain 
  lights. 
  The 
  

   blue 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wungs 
  extends 
  over 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  the

  two- 
  

   thirds 
  of 
  the 
  discal 
  area 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  it 
  is 
  bounded 
  anteriorly 
  by 
  the 
  

   subcostal 
  nervure 
  and 
  the 
  second 
  subcostal 
  nervule, 
  the 
  costal, 
  outer, 
  and 
  inner 
  

   margins 
  being 
  broadly 
  brownish-black. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  costal, 
  apical, 
  and 
  outer-marginal 
  

   areas 
  broadly 
  bright 
  chestnut-brown, 
  shading 
  inwardly 
  into 
  black 
  ; 
  the

   area 
  extends 
  over 
  the

  a 
  longitudinal 
  space 
  below 
  the

  and 
  a 
  space 
  at 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  at 
  the 
  junctions 
  of 
  the 
  submedian 
  nervules 
  ; 
  before 
  the 
  apex 
  

   is 
  an 
  oblique 
  irregular 
  white 
  band, 
  and 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  is 
  white 
  ; 
  along 
  

   the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  are 
  elongate 
  streaks 
  of 
  

   silvery 
  pale 
  metallic 
  Iduc, 
  the 
  streak 
  in 
  the 
  cell 
  being 
  interrupted 
  at 
  two-thirds 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell 
  are 
  two 
  transverse 
  silvery 
  metallic 
  blur 
  lines.
