white patch, and the outer margin (broadly) black, the small remaining portion of the 
wing cyaneous, a little darker than in onyx, the costa is longer, making the apex more

below that vein outside the cell, black; the rest of the wing cyaneous with some 
darker irrorations towards the base, outer margin marked as in onyx ; tail at the end of 
vein 3 as short as it is in that species. Underside paler than in onyx and of a clear
