Imago. —Male. Upperside dark lilacine blue. Forewing , costa with a thin black 
band; outer marginal band also black, deep at the apex, rather broad and even on the 
outer margin ; a small lower discal white patch. Hindwing with a similarly broad and 
even black band on the outer margin, but this band is not always entire, sometimes it 
consists of a dentated thin band closely attached to a narrow marginal band. Under¬ 
side greyish-white with a very faint blue tinge, markings brown. Forewing wdtk a 
line at the end of the cell; a post-discal row of short lines more or less in echelon, 
the uppermost one more inwards than the others, a sub-terminal line of lunules, and 
an anticiliary row of black short linear marks. Hindwing with two black sub-basal 
spots; a linear mark at the end of the cell; a large black costal spot near the apex, 
being the uppermost end of an outwardly curved rather disjointed series of brown 
marks, the second from the margin more outwards than the others; a sub-terminal 
rather acutely dentated line, and an anticiliary row of black spots. Cilia grey on 
forewing, with white edgings on the hindwings. 
Female. Upperside dark brownish-black; in some examples almost pure black. 
Forewing with a large white patch with suffused edges in the disc, nearly always 
extended hindwards to the lower margin in its middle, and often continued down the 
hindwing, sometimes to its centre; the apical and outer portions darker than the rest 
of the wings; cilia as in the male. Underside, like the male, but the markings more 
pronounced, and in some specimens the interior markings of the hindwing are all 
blackish. 
Expanse of wings, £ 9 1 t 2 q- inches. 
Dry-season Brood (Figs, lc, Id, 9, le, 9)- 
Male. Upperside of a paler colour than in the other form. Forewing without 
the costal black band, the outer marginal band similar, the white in the disc more
