Male. Uppeeside black, anterior wings filled up from the base to beyond 

 the cell, and over the disc with a large greenish-white blotch, irrorated with 

 black towards the base and inner margin ; there is a short greenish-white basal 

 streak above the cell, and on the outer half of the wing, towards the costa, are 

 some slight patches of greenish-white dusting, and others, still less distinct, 

 towards the hind margin. Hind wings pale from the'base to beyond the middle ; 

 the base, and the outer portion of the pale part shade into bluish, the central 

 part is creamy-white, rather than bluish-white.

 the upperside, and with two black concavities near the base above, and one below. 

 Costa, apical and marginal region blue-black, with an oblique white subapical 

 band, divided by the nervures, which then becomes submarginal, and is con-

 opposite the middle of the hind margin, is a large oblong reddish-orange spot ; 

 and below the costal end of the white band is a row of three white spots, and 

 nearer the base, is another long oblique white spot, surmounted by a yellowish-

 inner side, and more cream-coloured on the outer side ; beyond these, are four 

 pale bands, more or less following the curves of the hind margin ; the first 

 yellowish-grey, the second mossy-green, and very broad on its lower half, between 

 which and the inner margin are two long creamy-white dashes, and the two
