Imago. — Male. Upperside dark cyaneous-blue, shining blue-green in certain 

 lights. Forewimj with nearly the apical half black, a narrow black band on the costa 

 to the end of the cell, the inner margin of the apical band then almost straight across 

 to a little above the hinder angle, where it narrows down ; the rest of the wing, 

 including the cell, and a narrow basal streak above the sub-costal vein, blue ; the 

 median vein and the base of its branch black. Hindwing with the costal band broadly 

 black, outer marginal line finely black, sub-costal vein black, abdominal fold blackish- 

 brown ; a black spot at the anal angle with some pale bluish-white scales on it ; tails 

 black, tipped with white. Cilia of both wings black, with pale tips. Underside grey. 

 Forewing occasionally with a diseal series of faintly indicated black thin lunules, but 

 in most examples these are obsolete, and the wing has no visible markings whatever. 

 Hindwing with a regular diseal series of similar marks rather closer to the margin than 

 is usual, the upjjer marks forming the series more or less linear and well separated 

 from each other, the last two are curved and turn in on to the abdominal margin a 

 little above the anal angle, a sub-marginal pale grey band, another still paler and 

 narrower band close to the margin ; a black anal spot, with a small white spot on each 

 side of its upper part, another and larger black spot in the first interspace, capped with 

 orange, the space between them pale bluish-white with a few dark blue scales in it ; 

 terminal line of both wings dark brown. Antennae black, ringed with white, club with 

 a red tip ; frons white, with a black middle stripe ; eyes ringed with white ; head and 

 body above and below concolorous with the wings.
