in second and third median interspaces, forming with the streak at apex a 

 slightly excurved, interrupted band of three spots ; two white spots, 

 obliquely placed, in the interspaces beneath subcostal nervure and first 

 discoidal nervule followed by two golden green spots in first and second 

 median interspaces, forming an oblique, interrupted band incurved at costa ; 

 a triangular, subapical series of white spots as in male ; a double series of 

 lunules preceding the outer margin, the inner one commencing near apex 

 on costal margin, oblique near apex, not reaching inner margin ; the outer 

 one commencing below apex in subcostal interspace and reaching inner 

 angle ; the three lowest spots of both these bands are of a golden green 

 tint ; those near apex pale in colour ; a few blue specks scattered over all 

 wings. 



Upperside-Hindwing. Basal area sprinkled with blue scales ; a 

 median, curved series of six, metallic blue, sagittate bars commencing near 

 costa in a pale streak and ending in third median interspace ; the first, 

 second, fourth, fifth and sixth with apices pointing internally ; the third 

 pointing externally and interrupted internally ; the second largest ; the 

 fifth a long streak interrupted externally at second median interspace by a 

 yellowish white spot ; the sixth a long streak along submedian nervure, 

 conjoined at base in third median interspace with the seventh spot of the 

 discal curved band of eight golden green spots commencing on costal 

 margin ; a submarginal series of seven whitish blue lunules ; the two 

 terminal spots of both discal and submarginal series coalescing near anal 

 angle in a sagittate spot. 



Underside-Forewing. Same as upper side with the addition of a 

 bluish white spot at base of cell ; two blue spots beneath the subcostal 

 nervure and the first discoidal nervule, forming, with four other blue spots 

 beneath, a transverse interrupted band of six spots ; all blue spots clearer 

 and better defined. 



Underside-Hindwing. Basal, subbasal and costal white spots as in 

 male ; a large, rather triangular, fulvous spot in centre of cell; a white spot 

 at junction of discoidal nervule with second subcostal nervule; a white spot
