 scales on the basal half of the wing below the median nervure, faintly indicated in 

 some examples, absent in others ; an oval discal white patch outside the cell, from vein 

 5 to vein 2, in some examples extending a little into the next lower interspace, the 

 patch divided into three pieces by the veins. Hlndwing somewhat paler than the 

 forewing, a patch of cerulean-blue scales in the disc, varying in size in ditlerent 

 examples ; tails black, tipped with white, the upper tail at the end of vein 3 rather 

 short, abdominal fold pale. Underside, chocolate-brown. Forewing with a white 

 transverse medial band right across the wing, edged on Ijoth sides with dark brown, 

 its inner margin nearly straight, passing just outside the cell, its outer margin nearly 

 erect to vein 4, then curving inwards, the band thus gradually narrowing to the costa 

 which it does not quite touch ; a dark brown suffused space outside the upper part of 

 the band. Hindioing with a narrow, transverse, white band in continuation of the band 

 on the forewing, its inner margin edged with dark brown, slightly sinuous down to the 

 sub-median vein, then curving inwards in a black line to the abdominal margin above 

 the anal angle, with some metallic blue-green scales on the line, the outer margin of 

 the white band diffuse. 



Female. Upperside similarly brownish-black. Forewing with the white patch 

 much larger, extending hindwards to near the hinder margin, with some blue scales on 

 the basal half of the wing below the median vein. Hindwing without any markings, 

 sometimes with some scattered blue scales in the disc. Underside a little paler in 

 colour, the bands broader, the upper part of the band on the forewing slightly hooked.
