The insect now figured must be considered as typical of the species, and the 
figures 49 and 50 of a former Plate as a variety. Some examples have, and some are 
without, the white spot near the apex of the anterior wing. The blue spot on the 
posterior wing varies considerably in size and intensity of colour.

I am glad of an opportunity to give another figure of this species better coloured than the previous 
one, which ill represents the brilliancy of its blue. It is represented with the butterfly facing the light.

Differs on the underside from the usual examples of the species, in having part 
of the blue near the base of the anterior wing replaced by crimson. The posterior 
wing is also without any trace of the transverse black lines.
