$ Eyes almost glabrous ; under a low-power lens ( x 6) the eyes 
appeared to be glabrous, but under a higher power ( x 10) a few 
isolated hairs were visible. Both wings brown with restricted bright 
blue area. Primaries, with the blue occupying the cell, evenly curved 
off to about a quarter from the cell on the inner margin. Secondaries 
with the blue occupying the cell and nearly to the angle and termen, 
but leaving the apex broadly brown ; the cell closed by a dark mark. 
Underside very pale brown largely covered with white scales. 
Primaries with a spot in the cell and a larger L-shaped one at the 
end, postmedian stripe very irregular, first spot on the costa below 
which are two at an angle follow’ed by a fourth shifted inwards, very 
oblique, fifth again inwards less oblique, sixth scarcely traceable, a 
very obscure subterminal scalloped stripe. Secondaries with three 
sub-basal marks, below the third, which is a dash, are two round 
spots on the inner margin, the upper one being very pale ; a large 
oblique spot closing the cell ; postmedian stripe divided into three 
parts, the first two spots near the large cell spot, spots 3 to 6 shifted 
right out in an irregular row, spots 7 and 8 angled and shifted right 
inwards ; a trace of a subterminal line •, marginal spots in the anal 
area iridescent.
