Imago. — ]\Iale. Upperside. Foreicing black, the inner portion almost do-mi to 

 the hinder margin rich dark blue, and up to the median vein, the blue colour entering 

 a little into the cell, a black band across the middle of the blue space ; the veins black ; 

 this stripe or band runs from the base narrowly above the sub-median vein, crosses the 

 interspace in the middle of the wing rather broadly to vein 2, then runs down below 

 vein 2 a short space and joins the black margin, thus forming two rather broad blue 

 longitudinal bands across the black wing, each divided by the black veins into three 

 parts of unequal length, the inner part of the lower blue band is longer than the 

 others, and extends below the sub-median vein nearly to the base ; three blue sub-apical 

 spots in an oblique row, outside and above the outer end of the upper blue band, 

 Ilindwing with the costal space down to the median vein black, the al)dominal space 

 also broadly black, the rest of the wing blue, with a marginal black thin band with 

 sub-marginal black luuular marks more or less attached to it, and black, bottle-shaped 

 marks running shortly up the veins. Cilia black, tipped with white on the hindwing. 

 Underside varying from rufous-grcy to purplish-brown. Forewiiig with a discal, very 

 sinuous brown line outwardly edged with white and indications of a double series of 

 sub-terminal lunules. Ilindwing with a similarly coloured discal line, with a more or 

 less toothed outward projection below its middle, the sub-terminal series as in the 

 forewing, ending in a black spot capped with orange near the anal angle. Antenna? 

 black, ringed with white ; tip of club orange-ochreous ; head and body black above, with 

 some blue hairs on the thorax, grey beneath. 



Female. Upperside, both wings fuscous. Forewing with the costa, the upper
