Imago.— Male. Upperside deep purple, with fairly broad costal and outer marginal 

 inconspicuous black borders, the costal band of the hindwing broadest, tail at the end 

 of vein 2 of moderate length, very narrow, black, tipped with white. Cilia on both 

 wino-s brown. Underside dark brown, with a purplish tint, markings darker brown, 

 especially on the hindwing, indicated by their white edgings. Forewing with a fairly 

 sized round spot inside the cell sub-basal, but well separated from the base, a slightly 

 larger spot in the middle, and a still larger bar-shaped spot at the end which is edged 

 with white only at its sides, a twisted white line hindwards, two bar-shaped spots 

 outside the end of the cell, marked by theii' prominent white side edgings, the upper 

 one just below the costa, the other beneath it, and almost attached to each other ; a 

 discal paler band of five conjoined bar-shaped spots from the costa, the last two a little 

 inwards, and indistinct ; a sub-marginal rather indistinct row of smaller spots, the 

 lower portion of the wing paler than the rest. Hindwing with all the spots larger 

 than usual, four round ones sub-basal, three of them in a line, the fourth towards the 

 abdominal margin near the base, closely followed by a series of four larger spots in an 

 outward curve, at equal distances apart right across the wing, the second from the top, 

 inside the middle of the cell, oval ; two conjoined spots at the end of the cell, closely 

 followed by a discal band of eight conjoined spots descending from the costa in a 

 slightly distorted shape to vein 4, where the band curves round to the abdominal
