Male (fig. 1, la). Upperside blue-black, or olivescent bluish-black; cilia alter- 

 nated with white. Foreivii?// with greyish-blue scaled longitudinal streaks entirely 

 bordering the outer veins to the margin, and less-defined similar streaks within the 

 cell; base of the cell either without, or with a slender scarlet scaled streak, or 

 frequently with a prominent narrow, or more rarely a broad scarlet patch is present. 

 Hijidwing with greyish-blue scaled broad streaks between the outer veins, extending 

 to near the margin ; a few similar coloured scales are also scattered within apex of 

 the cell ; occasionally a marginal row of blacker oval spots than the ground colour 

 are somewhat apparent, of which the anal spot rarely show a few outer-bordering 

 red scales. Underside. Forewing with broader and paler bluish-grey streaks, and a 

 broad scarlet basal cell-patch. Hindtving darker blue-black or purpurescent-black, 

 the outer border and edges of the outer veins generally paler or sometimes greyish- 

 black ; base of wing ^yith a vein intersected scarlet jjatch ; a marginal series of more 

 or less apparent or well-defined black oval spots, and a submarginal similar series of 

 conical spots, of which latter the anal spot is small and generally oval ; the anal 

 spot in both sei'ies is bordei-ed or ringed with ochreous-red or scarlet, and the next 

 one, and sometimes the second, of both rows are also red-bordered, and occasionally 

 the fourth of the inner row ; in specimens where the two series of black spots are 

 less apparent beyond the red-bordered anal pair, their division is generally indicated 

 by a bordering series of blue scales ; the red borders of the anal spots are also 

 sometimes sprinkled with blue scales. Body, legs, and antennsB black ; front of 

 thorax and head white-spotted.
