elongated, the seventh angular, the eighth squarish, both disconnected, both wings with 

 a marginal brown line and an inner pale line, a sub- marginal band of lunules more 

 pronounced on the hindwing, three black anal spots, the first capped with a few metallic 

 blue scales, the others with a mass of similar scales almost obliterating them. 



Female. Upperside paler and somewhat duller than the male. Forewing with a 

 broad apical black band which narrows on the costa towards the base and down the

 Underside, chocolate-brown, spots and bands darker brown, pale-edged, a roundish sub-

 and above this is a small round spot on the costa, below it is an outwardly oblique spot, 

 and a spot, well separated from it, in the next lower interspace, also outwardly oblique 

 below the middle cell spot, a fairly uniform discal band of six conjoined spots from the 

 costa to vein 2, with a disconnected small spot below it a little inwards. Hindwing 

 with four small sub-basal spots, the third a little outwards, two or three small indistinct 

 basal spots, three spots in a line following the sub-basal spots, the lowest triangular, a 

 large, curved spot at the end of the cell, and an outwardly curved irregular discal band 

 of eight spots ; the first two conjoined, one above the other, the lower, inner end of the 

 second touching the upper outer end of the discoidal spot, the third, fourth, fifth and 

 sixth spots conjoined, the fifth shifted inwards, the seventh in a deep curve inwards 

 joined to the eighth which is long and ends the curve of the series on the abdominal 

 margin close to the fourth spot of the sub-basal series, marginal line of both wings 

 brown, with a pale inner line, a sub-marginal series of conjoined spots, a large black anal
