Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing with the discoidal cell, the internomedian 

 interspace and the disc of the lower discoidal interspace resplendent cyaneous blue in 

 some lights, dull violet in others, the black border wide, extending one-third towards 

 the base. Hindwing similarly blue from the lower sub-costal nervule to the sub- 

 median nervure, the black border somewhat narrower, especially towards the anal 

 angle ; cilia of the hindwing whitish, except at the ends of the veins. Underside, both 

 wings pure white, a very slender dark marginal line, a narrow sub-marginal dark band, 

 containing a line of six minute, dark, transverse streaks in the forewing, and five 

 (usually six) in the hindwing, within which is a narrow transverse ochreous-brown 

 fascia very closely defined (in the hindwing by an obscure dark line on its inner border) 

 extending across the whole breadth of the forewing, and on the hindwing from the first 

 sub-costal nervule to the sub-median nervure ; traces of slender discal streaks on the 

 forewing near the lower angle within the ochreous band. Forewing with the apex 

 obscured with black scales (two small costal black spots). Hindwing with a large and 

 conspicuous sub-apical spot extending from the costa to the lower sub-costal nervule. 



Female. Upperside, both wings blackish. Forewing with the costa and outer 

 margin darker ; cilia of the forewing pale, of the hindwing white. Underside, both 

 wings as in the male (Doherty).
