The male is velvety blue-black ; the primaries with a narrow 

 bronze-greenish border, divided by dusky veins ; the base shot with 

 steel-blue ; a blue spot within the anterior angle of the cell, three 

 opaline white spots (only the central one large) at one third the 

 distance from discoidal cell to apex, two similarly coloured spots and 

 a dot at two thirds : secondaries with a bronze-greenish marginal 

 lunulated stripe, followed by a black fringe, the first four divisions 

 enclosing dark red curved dashes, the remainder more or less golden ; 

 a submarginal series of more or less lunate spots, separated from the 

 greenish border by black curved dashes or semicircular spots ; this 

 series consists of white-edged spots, all, excepting two confluent 

 ones at the anal angle (which are violet), being blue-green ; a short 

 distance from the submarginal series is a discal lunulate green line ; 

 on the under surface the male much resembles the female, differing 

 just as the other black males do from their respective females.
