Imago. —Male. Upperside glistening dark purplish-blue gradually merging into 
the broad black borders. Forewing with the costa above the cell to its end black, the 
apical third black, its inner edge straight across (but not sharply defined) to below 
vein 2, and from thence, for the short space, evenly and narrowly to the hinder 
angle. Hmdwing with the costal space broadly black, the band narrowing gradually 
and diffusedly hindwards to near the anal angle, then broadly up the abdominal space, 
thickly clothed with long fur-like modified scales, increasing in width upwards, leaving 
but a narrow discal space purplish-blue, abdominal fold very pale ; anal lobe blue- 
green, this colour extending narrowly up the abdominal margin for a short distance; 
tail black, tipped with white. Cilia brown. Underside bright green. Forewing with 
the hinder marginal space pale greenish-grey, a line of disconnected, small and 
indistinct greenish-white lunular marks, its upper portion curving round inwards 
to the costa. Hindwing with a similar but more prominent discal series which has a 
short outward curve below the second lunule ; a black spot on the anal lobe, with a 
small w T hite spot on each side of it, and some anteoiliary small white marks, which in 
some specimens run into each other, forming a white thread above the anal angle. 
Antennse black, without white rings; the clubs with dull orange tips ; palpi ochreous, 
last joints black ; frons and head green, eyes ringed with white ; body black above, 
ochreous beneath. 
Female. Upperside blackish-brown. Forewing without markings. Ilindwing 
with the anal third, from the abdominal margin decreasingly to the discoidal interspace 
pure white, its inner edge uneven ; in some examples the brown colour runs in and 
forms long spots on the outer part; anal lobe with a large green spot in it; the white
