Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Both wings bluish-black, the basal third palest 
and most tinged with blue. Forewing crossed by an erect medial bluish-white band, 
which commences anteriorly in the interspace between the lower radial and upper 
median veinlet, and sinuously widens out externally to the posterior margin ; between 
the upper and lower radials is a moderate-sized somewhat quadrate white spot, 
situated exteriorly beyond the medial band, and a smaller similar spot near the apex 
between the upper radial and lower subcostal ; both of these spots being sometimes 
obsolescent, or the subapical spot absent; the medial band is more or less thickly 
bordered posteriorly along both sides with smalt-blue scales. Hindwing with a 
similar medial white band decreasing evenly from the costa to the lower median 
veinlet, its posterior borders being also externally bordered with smalt-blue scales, 
the outer portion broader and sinuously ; a submarginal row of small white lunules, 
and a marginal series of indistinct ochreous lunules with intervening blue-speckled 
shorter streaks, except on the two tails, where the blue streaks are longer ; abdominal 
border broadly dusky greyish-brown. Underside dull nacreous pinkish-white, the 
outer borders suffused with olive-brown; the medial white band and apical spots 
bluish-tinted on the forewing, but the band pure white on the hindwing. Torewing 
with the medial band inwardly-bordered by a transverse dark olive-brown band with 
sharply-defined black borders inwardly-edged with smalt-blue, this latter band 
extending from the costal vein to beneath the lower median veinlet; bordering the 
black-edged outside of the medial band is a curved series of slender brown-edged 
lunulate marks, the lowest mark more or less merged in a large blue-black patch ; 
between the upper end of the medial white band and the outer lunules is a carmine 
patch, and above this patch is a slender black streak ; two small black superposed 
spots near base of the cell. Hindwing with the medial band similarly mwardly 
bordered by a black-edged olive-brown band, the inner line of which ends above the 
anal angle, and outwardly bordered by a series of deep carmine lunules; the 
extreme outer margin of the wing bearing blue-edged ochreous-red lunules and blue 
intervening streaks. 
Female. Upperside resembling the male, but with the medial white band 
broader, and on the forewing there are two superposed quadrate white spots (the 
upper one sometimes small) beyond the medial band, as well as the smaller sub- 
apical spot. On the hindwing the submarginal slender white lunules are larger 
and longer, and the marginal ochreous-red lunules very prominent. Underside
