Imago. — Male. Upperside very dark purple-blue, in some examples nearly purple- 

 black. Forewing with the costal line finely black, the outer marginal line more thickly so, 

 but the width of these black borders varies somewhat in different examples. Hindwimj 

 with the costal space broadly black, the outer marginal black band narrow, but the 

 blue and black colours are so blended, that it is only in certain lights that these 

 marginal bands can be distinguished. Cilia black, a rather long filamentous tail at the 

 end of vein 2, black, tipped with white, very minute black projections at the ends of 

 veins 1, 3, 4 and 5, anal lobe of moderate size, fairly well formed. Underside chocolate- 

 brown, markings dark brown, edged with whitish. Forewing with a large whitish 

 space above the middle of the hinder margin, a spot sub-basal, in the cell, a larger .spot 

 in the middle, and a still larger one at the end ; two elongated spots below the two 

 latter, with their narrow ends hindwards, touching each other at their base, then 

 separating, the outer spot being outwardly oblique ; the discal band composed of six 

 conjoined spots, the first four nearly square and outwardly oblique, the fifth also square, 

 its outer upper edge touching the lower inner edge of the fourth spot, and a round spot 

 immediately below the fifth spot, and this is followed by a paler brownish band in 

 continuation to vein 1, terminal line brown, a sub-terminal line of rather thick lunules 

 joined together and outwardly whitish-edged. Hindwing with four sub-basal round
