Imago. — Male. Upperside : — Forewing dark velvety blackish-brown, quite 

 black in some lights ; glossed with steel-blue — which is brightest on the apical half 

 where in some lights it forms a large brilliant blue patch with sometimes a purplish 

 tinge ; a small pale blue costal spot above end of the cell, one within lower end of 

 the cell, two inner-discal spots situated between the median veinlets, of which 

 the lower is sometimes minute, and sometimes a third inner-discal very slender 

 spot is present below the median ; a curved outer-discal series of six spots, 

 of which the lowest is longitudinally narrow and sometimes has a smaller con- 

 tiguous spot below it ; beyond is a submarginal series of spots comprised of five 

 anterior spots and one spot (which is sometimes double) above the posterior angle J
