yellow superciliary streak extending round the black of the crown, 
and brightening to fiery-red on the nape; the white on the wings 
is broader, and the male has the breast and abdomen of a beau- 
tiful smalt-blue, crossed transversely on the sides of the former 
with a number of fiery-red narrow bars, and more sparingly so on 
the centre. In the female the breast and abdomen is marked 
throughout with numerous narrow bluish-black bars, nearly as in 
P. cyanura, and tinged with red between the bars on the sides.
