Allied to N. amantes, Hewitson. 
Upperside of a brighter and paler blue, but similar to A. amantes 
in the deep costal band on the fore wings of the male, which is absent 
in the female, and in the far deeper costal band of the hind wings 
and marginal band of both wings. The underside is, however, quite 
different, the ground-colour being of a uniform pale brownish grey 
with an ochreous tinge, this tinge showing quite distinctly on the 
brown portions of the fore wings, the costal portion and much of the 
hind wing being silvery grey. Fore wings with one small spot in the 
cell near the base, and a larger one also within the cell, a little 
forward of its centre, the upper portions of both touching the sub- 
costal vein ; another spot, square and larger at the end of the cell, 
and a smaller one below this in the angle of the first median inter- 
space, and below this is a spot elongated into a band running along 
the interspace for more than half its length below the first median 
branch, and half filling up that portion of the interno-median inter- 
space; there is also a discal row of six confluent spots from the 
costa, commencing with a small one and getting gradually larger 
and ending on the first median branch at the end of the band; all 
the spots brown, surrounded with yellowish white, the white borders 
being clearest round the two spots in the cell and the two outside it. 
Hind wing with four or five brown spots near the base, a central 
whirl of spots of the same colour, disconnected, and irregular like a 
zigzag band, a discal whorl of similar spots but paler, and the space 
on each side filled in with other bands of spots so pale as to be only 
here and therevisible. Marginsof both wings brown, diffused inwardly; 
a black spot at the anal angle, and a white silvery streak on the 
margin running from this spot to the first median branch, and 
clouded with dark brown atoms. Tails black, tips white. 
Expanse of wings 2,), inches.
