Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing black, in fresh specimens blue-black; 

 with a bluish-grey scaled slender basal costal streak, the cell-area and interspaces of 

 the outer veins broadly from their base to the disc, followed by an outer-discal 

 contiguous or partly coalesced grey conical spots, and then by a submarginal row of 

 very small spots ; the grey cell-area is apically longitudinally black streaked and 

 obliquely broken at the apex; cilia black. Rindiuing light red, or dark red in fresh 

 specimens, including the veins, except at the base, where they are black ; the outer 

 discal interspaces showing a more or less dusky-red lanceolate streak, these dusky 

 streaks, in some specimens, being more distinctly defined ; a greyish-white scaled
