Nacaduba narovona. 
Male.—Upperside dull slate-coloured blue, with the white 
bands on the underside slightly visible. 
Underside greyish brown. Anterior wings with a spot at 
the end of the cell bordered on both sides with white, and a 
broad somewhat curved transverse band of contiguous spots 
across the disk, bordered on the inner edge with white, 
followed externally by a broad white band, outside which to 
the margin is a double row of dark lunules, intersected by a 
row of white lunules. Posterior wings with a similar white 
band and outer rows of Junules; between the two lowest sub- 
median nervules is a large submarginal black spot, bordered 
outwardly by metallic blue and crowned by an orange lunule ; 
a smaller metallic blue spot at the anal angle also crowned 
by orange and bordered narrowly by black ; a subbasal row 
of spots crosses the cell, and a spot at the end of the cell, all 
narrowly bordered by white. 
Female.—Upperside. Both wings dull greyish brown, 
suffused with dull blue over the lower part of the anterior and 
the base of the posterior wings. On the anterior wings a 
pale whitish band crossing the submedian nervules represents 
the white band on the underside, and on the posterior wings 
a similar indistinct band crosses the disk a little beyond the 
middle ; there is a submarginal row of dark lunules crowned 
with whitish lunules. 
Exp. of wings 1 inch.
