Imago. — Male. Upperside black. Forewing with the basal and outer area 

 nuaierously irrorated with bright green scales ; a transverse medial bright green 

 band, extending from the costa across apex and outer edge of the cell and thence 

 generally widening somewhat, to the posterior margin, the band in some lights 

 changing to bright blue, its inner-edge being straight or slightly excurved and its 

 outer-edge more or less slightly uneven and excurved. Hindiuing with the basal area 

 densely irrorated with bright green scales ; a transverse lower-medial bright green 

 band, somewhat wedge-shaped and of variable width, starting broadly from above 

 the lower subcostal and across apex of the cell and thence decreasing in width to 

 abdominal margin ; the band in some lights changing to bright blue, its inner-edge 

 being even and almost straight, its outer-edge more or less uneven and speckled ; 

 beyond is a submarginal series of either four or five broad green-scaled lunules, an 

 apical obscure red lunule, and an anal ocellus, the latter inwardly edged by blue 

 scales. Underside dark sepia-brown. Forewing with the basal area densely 

 irrorated with pale ochreous scales ; crossed by a broad outer-discal pale greyish- 

 ochreous fascia traversed by blackish veins, decreasing to a point at the posterior 

 angle. Hindwing with the basal area very densely, and the inner-discal area 

 sparsely irrorated with pale ochreous scales, the outer marginal area being paler 

 brown and traversed by a submarginal row of blackish outer-bordered slender 

 red lunules, and an anal ocellus, the apical one being larger and broader, and each 

 more or less distinctly inwardly-edged with blue scales. Bodi/ above and frontal 

 tuft thickly speckled with green scales ; body beneath speckled with pale ochreous 

 scales; palpi white ; legs and antennjB black. 



Female. Upperside similar to the male. Forewing with the transvei'se green 

 band somewhat narrower and more excurved. Hindwing with the baud also some- 

 what narrower ; with two upper submarginal ochreous-red lunules, and brighter 

 red anal ocellus. Underside as in the male.
