_Upper Side._ Antennæ black, with two small white spots at their bases,
on the front of the head, and two more close to the eyes, on the top of
the head; likewise two on the neck, and two longer ones on the thorax.
The thorax and abdomen of a very dark blueish hazel. Anterior wings, next
the shoulders, of a dark blueish hazel, black at the tips and outer
margin, where are many different shaped flesh-coloured spots; the parts
nearest the shoulders having many denticulated marks and dashes of a blue
colour; some being also scattered all over the wings. About a third from
the shoulder, near the anterior margin, on each wing, is a short, red,
crooked line, which is seen on the under side. Near the outer margin are
five ash-coloured spots, all of them being encircled with black, and some
being edged with blue. Posterior wings of the same dark hazel as the
anterior; the external edges being black between the scollops. Each wing
is divided into a number of small different shaped spots margined with
blue; and near the external margin are six black spots, whose irides are
blue, having white ones in their centres. Below these is a double row of
blue marks, like beards of arrows, placed on the black marks between the
scollops. All the wings are dentated.
_Under Side._ Anterior wings whitish, about a third part at the base; the
remainder being a dark chocolate, with many different shaped ash-coloured
spots. Near the external edges are five round ash-coloured spots on a
row, one being placed above the rest. Posterior wings chiefly whitish,
except at the {20}outer angle and external edges; the latter being
alternately marked with dark chocolate and ash colour, near which is a
row of four round ash-coloured spots, encircled with chocolate, and a
small faint one near the anal angle.
