Upperside. Male. — Anterior wing dark brown, glossed with purplish blue to beyond 

 the middle, except along the costa : the blue portion of the wing terminating behind in a 

 regular curve. Posterior wing more brilliantly glossed with rich purplish blue : costa and 

 inner margin light brown. The purple of the wings is edged with black towards the costa, 

 and it terminates towards the inner margin in a narrow detached purple stripe ending just 

 outside the anal spot, and edged on both sides with black. The fringe and the short and 

 slender tail are black : the anal lobe is black, dusted with sky-blue in the centre, and marked 

 with an orange spot on its inner edge. 



Underside dull bluish grey, shading into rufous-brown on the hind margins ; two 

 parallel dashes of the same colour at the end of the cell on both wings, and two narrow 

 black lines filled up with orange crossing both wings beyond the middle : on the anterior 

 wing they are nearly straight, and on the posterior wing irregular, forming a right angle 

 towards the anal angle, above which, near the middle of the inner margin, is a blackish spot. 

 The anal and caudal spots are deep black, bordered within with orange and outside by a light 

 grey line, and there are some indistinct dark submarginal markings above them. The 

 neighbourhood of the anal spots is irregularly dusted with silvery blue. 



Female rufous-brown above, with the marginal third of the anterior wing 

 darker. The hinder half of the hind margin of the posterior wing is bluish white, intersected 

 by a narrow black line at the base of the white fringe. Within this line are three black spots 

 between the nervures, preceding the anal spot. The markings towards the anal angle, and. 

 those of the underside, do not differ from the male. The antennae are ringed with black
