scales on the basal half of the wing below the median nervure, faintly indicated in 
some examples, absent in others; an oval cliscal white patch outside the cell, from vein 
5 to vein 2, in some examples extending a little into the next lower interspace, the 
patch divided into three pieces by the veins. Hindmng somewhat paler than the 
forewing, a patch of cerulean-blue scales in the disc, varying in size in different 
examples; tails black, tipped with white, the upper tail at the end of vein 3 rather

transverse medial band right across the wing, edged on both sides with dark brown,

which it does not quite touch ; a dark brown suffused space outside the upper part of 
the band. Hindwing with a narrow, transverse, white band in continuation of the band 
on the forewing, its inner margin edged with dark brown, slightly sinuous down to the 
sub-median vein, then curving inwards in a black line to the abdominal margin above 
the anal angle, with some metallic blue-green scales on the line, the outer margin of 
the white band diffuse.

colour, the bands broader, the upper part of the band on the forewing slightly hooked.
