Male.—Wings above dull lilacine blue with a dull brown border, widest 
towards the apices of the wings; fringe and costal area of primaries, from 
the base to beyond the end of the cell, silvery-greyish ; body brown, the 
thorax bluish-black ; wings below pale greyish stone-colour ; a discal series 
of whitish-bordered pale-brown spots, angulated upon the secondaries; a 
sub-marginal series of pale brown spots, lunulate on primaries and sagittate 
on secondaries, bounded internally by a white border, and enclosing an 
almost marginal series of triangular pale brown spots; a brown marginal 
line; fringes whitish; body below whitish; expanse of wings, 1 inch 2 
lines. 
This species seems to occur more or less commonly throughout Australia 
and the islands of the South Pacific; it is probably the male of L. alsulus 
of Herrich-Schiiffer (described in the Stettin Zeitung for 1869), but this 
point requires confirmation.
