Imago. —Male. Upperside. Forewmg with the costal border whitish-edged, 
cilia alternately pale brown and white; the basal two-thirds dark blue-black, the 
outer area fuliginous-black; an ochreous-white oblique subapical short angulated 
band and two transverse submarginal lunular fascim, the inner fascia broadest, 
shortest, and bearing an upper and a lower small black red-ringed ocellus, with a 
blue-speckled central dot, below which the posterior area is dark blue; crossing 
end of the cell are two short very obsolescent blue-scaled bars. Hindwing dark 
blue suffused with purple ; a basal short narrow black angular patch which curves 
upward across end of the cell, and merges into brown on the abdominal margin; 
two outer-discal prominent ocelli, which in some specimens are of equal size, in 
others the upper one is the largest, and is either entirely black and blind, or 
obsolescently red-ringed, the lower one being bright red-ringed, with blue and black 
speckled centre; beyond are two submarginal pale-bordered slender black lunular 
lines ; cilia mostly white. Underside pale dull greyish-ochreous. Forewing with 
three basal transverse reddish-ochreous bands sinuously edged with black, a discal 
sinuous fascia inwardly edging the subapical band, followed by the pale less-defined 
outer marginal lunular fasciae and the two blind ocelli, as on upperside. Hindwing 
crossed by narrow more or less faintly-defined brown sinuous basal and marginal 
lines, and a diffused brownish discal fascia bearing a series of small very palely- 
defined or obsolescent ocelli.

black, the blue patch duller, and sometimes fuliginous ; the white markings some¬ 
what wider, the ocelli larger and more prominent; two more or less obsolescent 
black-edged reddish bars with intervening bluish bar across end of the cell. Hind - 
wing with the basal half entirely black, the blue outer area paler, duller, and 
sometimes fuliginous ; the two ocelli larger, more prominent, and both red-ringed; 
marginal pale-bordered lines also more defined. Underside darker than male; 
markings the same, but all more defined. Body above black, beneath and legs pale
