Imago. — Male. Upperside violet-blue, with hair-like, whitish scales dispersed over 

 the entire surface of both wings. Forewhig with costal and outermarginal brown line, 

 the latter often with a little inward brown suffusion, llindwing with a similar 

 marginal line, a rather large round black subterminal spot in interspace 2, a smaller 

 spot in interspace 1, each spot ringed, sometimes with pale blue, sometimes with pale 

 orange-ochreous. Cilia white, with a brown basal band ; tail black, tipped with white. 

 Underside grey with a slight ochreous tinge, markings brownish. Forewing with a 

 pair of bars across the middle of the cell, and a pair across the end, a pair in the disc, 

 from near the costa to vein 3, continued a little inwards to the hinder margin in two 

 pieces, all with white inside the pairs. llindwing with eight or nine more or less 

 sinuous brown fascise at even distances apart, all the brown lines with white marks 

 between them ; both wings with brown terminal line, white subterminal line, then a 

 series of white lunules, followed by white marks, more or less in echelon on the 

 forewing, formed into a white narrow band on the hindwing, the whole surface of both 

 wings having these markings at even distances apart ; and there are small jet black 

 subterminal spots, containing metallic, blue-green scales, broadly surrounded by orange, 

 in interspaces 1 and 2. 



Female. Upperside with some slight brownish suffusion, some shining blue scales 

 at the base of both wings and in the interior portion of the forewing ; on the hindwing 

 there are two spots in interspaces 1 and 2 as in the male, and some pale brown spots 

 in continuation up the wing, all outwardly edged by a fine white subterminal line, 

 and acro.ss the disc there is a narrow white band, divided by the veins. Underside as 

 in the male. Antennae black, ringed with white ; head and body blackish-brown 

 above with blue pubescence, white beneath. 



Expanse of wings, ^ $ 1^ to 1^ inches. 



Larva, when full grown, measures x^-gths of an inch ; pale dull green throughout,
