 anterior wings black, a line within the cell lying close to the 

 median nervure, and passing out to between the first and 

 second median branches, a broad patch extending from between 

 the second and third median branches to the posterior angle, 

 an oblique spot beyond the cell and another near the apical 

 angle shiny metallic greenish blue ; cilia of the outer margin
