Imago. —Male. Upperside black with bluish-white markings. Foreiving with a 
basal transverse slender macular streak; within the cell are two small basal spots, 
two medial outwardly-oblique more or less perfect slender waved streaks—the upper 
one being generally broken, and then two short small oval longitudinally-superposed 
spots at the apex; beyond are two upper-discal transverse series of small spots, of 
which the third of the inner row and the two upper of the outer row are some¬ 
times absent, an elongated streak in the lower median interspace, two very slender 
streaks in the submedian, and then a slender basally obliquely-broken streak along 
the posterior margin, followed by a submarginal row of rounded spots. Hindwing 
with a slender apically-broken cell-streak, a costal basal spot and a more or less 
defined elongated slender streak, a subcostal elongated slender broken streak, two 
lower discal series of four small conical spots in pairs, which are more or less 
outwardly-indented, the two lower of the inner series each preceded by a short 
slender streak within the basal interspaces; a slender, elongated streak in the 
submedian interspace with a small anal spot beyond its end; followed by a sub¬ 
marginal row of curved lunules, the two upper being the broadest; abdominal 
margin hairy, folded over above, the fold when opened displaying an elongated 
scent-organ composed of fine silky hairs. Underside pale ochreous-brown. 
Foreiving blackish posteriorly; with markings as on upperside, the cell streaks and 
the inner row of upper-discal spots sometimes being more or less obliterated. 
Hindwing with markings as on upperside, but less prominent; also with two white 
basal costal spots. Body black; front of thorax, collar, and palpi wfhite-spotted; 
base of thorax clothed with fine silky grey hairs ; abdomen with a lateral, sub¬ 
lateral, and ventral whitish band ; antennse and legs black. 
Female. Similar to the male. Upperside. Fore wing duller black, the 
hindwing brownish-black. Forewing with the cell markings complete and somewhat 
broader, the upper discal markings also broader. Hindwing with the cell and discal 
markings slightly narrower than in the male, the submarginal lunules also generally 
narrower. Underside. Similar to the male. Foreiving with the cell and discal 
streaks complete. 
Expanse, S 2f to 3, ? 3J to 3J inches.
