" Wings short. Fore wing in male very broad, somewhat quadrate, apex acuminate ; exterior 
margin slightly oblique and convex ; posterior margin acuminate at the angle, very convex in 
the middle ; cell broad, short ; with a short broad blue or silky brand. Hind wing broad, 
anterior margin convexly angular in middle ; cell very long ; with a large pale-coloured 
upper discoidal glandular patch of compact scales. Female with longer triangular wings."

" Male. Anterior wings above very dark velvety blue, with the following pale bluish spots : — one 
between first and second subcostal nervules, one beyond cell between second discoidal and 
first median nervules ; a submarginal series of five spots placed one above and one below 
fourth subcostal nervule, one above and one below upper discoidal nervule, and the other 
beneath lower discoidal nervule ; a small and indistinct spot between second and third median 
nervules, a still i-maUer and more indistinct one beneath third median nervule, and an oblong 
streak of the same colour (which denotes the pseudo scent-gland or brand) placed beneath 
third median nervule. Posterior wing pale olivaceous-brown, much darker towards base, 
witli a pale discoidul patch and three faintly indicated submarginal spots near apex, placed 
between tlu; nervules. Underside of wings olivaceous-brown ; anterior wings with the 
following bluish-white spots: — one l)etween first and second subcostal nervules; two beyond 
cell, divided by lower discoidal nervule ; one large and subovate between second and third 
median nervules ; three small and subapical, placed obliquely, which are apparently the 
commencement of a submarginal series, faintly indicated near median nervules ; and a very, 
faint, indistinct, and broken marginal series of small spots. Wing below tliird median nervule 
much ]>aler. Posterior wings with a suljmarginal series of l)luish-white spots, the upper four 
of which are placed singly l)etween the nervules, and a submarginal series commencing near 
anal angle and not continued beyond the first median nervule. 
" Female. Anterior wing above spot ted as in male, but wanting the discal •si)ot beyond coll, and 
with the costal base and inner margin slightly suffused witli rufous. Posterior wings as in 
male, but wanting the pale discoidal patch, and possessing a marginal series of small spots 
near anal angle. Wings beneath generally as in male, but possessing only one spot beyond
